Things take a turn for the worse when charm breaks unexpectedly, and contrary to DSM's insistence that a Shaman can easily help an Enchanter recover from a bad break, we see that DSM's Enchanter is at 3% health before he can even get a heal off, and is only saved because the other Enchanter landed a last second mez!




In contrast, I found the following video of a random Enchanter/Cleric duo in HS. At 57 minutes, we see the Enchanter suffer a very ill-timed charm break just as she is pulling, compounded by some repops. It's almost a worst case scenario, but as we can see, the Cleric not only has a stun and burst healing to help the Enchanter survive, but is able to leverage the power of CH to keep the golem pet alive through a very hairy situation. Needless to say, a Shaman would have been absolutely hopeless in this scenario.



This is not theorycraft or mere idle speculation, these are real gameplay videos, one of which features the very antagonist of this thread himself! And now, DSM, with such incontrovertible evidence before you, I demand that you concede.
This is desparate for sure. This wasn't an example video showing peak Enchanter/Shaman play. The other group members weren't even 60.

The Enchanter in question wasn't using rune when he started. You can see the chat logs, there are no "magical skin" messages. It seems like they were fairly new to either the game and/or the class.

You are basically using examples of lower skill players as evidence, which is silly. If an Enchanter isn't using Rune by the upper 50s, that is not the fault of the Shaman class.
