I agree with element. Also this server is kind of flooded with enchanters. It might not show too much during leveling, but its a popular class and its shows on the amount of 60 enc out there.
And while its true that chanters "can" pull off some amazing stunts - It often comes down to luck and available mobs. If those two arent present, its either not doable, or catastrophic failure follows.
A necro has alot more leeway manipulating the numbers and making it happen - and frankly, in my eyes, can do alot more, in more situations.
But as anyone else will tell you - pick the class you would enjoy the most =)

Imo attributing things to luck is setting yourself up for failure.
It's not luck that I spend a long time in south without having to hat, it's the fact that I cleared out the higher-level casters and HT mobs from the spawn I'm farming so that even if I get "bad luck" with a crit lull aggroing the whole room, I can survive it! It's not luck when I find a rare mob up as soon as I log in, it's the fact that I log out in/near HS almost every time I log out, so it's only a matter of time before I log in and have a fluid sitting there waiting for me with a hoop. It's not luck surviving 3 charm breaks in a row, it's the fact that I refreshed my rune right before because I knew it had been hit a few times even though it wasn't down yet + I refreshed bedlam even though it still had a few min of duration left. Stuff like that.
Yeah, there IS some luck in the game. But proper preparation and a lot of playtime make it look like you are way luckier than average when luck really had little/nothing to do with it.
In terms of leveling up, necros have more solo variety and probably similar overall power. In groups enchanters get the nod, but a necro who knows what to do in groups is solid for sure (just underrated by most people). At 60 the enchanter is more powerful and more versatile, imo.
Necros seem more versatile because they CAN charm, and they CAN use EoT, and they CAN root+rot, and they CAN fear kite. But how often can you really use all of those in a high-end situation? Necros aren't kiting in dungeons (too little room), root+rotting 51+ mobs (because they summon), or letting EoT tank unslowed 50+ stuff (it gets raaaaaped). So necros can charm, and chanters can charm. But chanters have tash, stuns, mezzes, slow to help them charm. Necro tools are awesome, but they are tricky to use effectively, and they don't have many tools to help them continue a fight if charm breaks... they need to feign and reset the fight and try again. And while it isn't fun, Zumaik's can kill level 54 mobs (I killed crypt excavator with Zumaiks a month or so ago - it took most of my mana and like 12 minutes, but it was also 99.99% safe!). EoT? I dunno. I watched an EoT get eaten
by a 50% slowed trash mob (might have been 70% even, can't remember which one I cast) in HS east when I was duoing with a necro once as he was dotting + healing.
All that said, the alt of mine I get the most excited about is a necro! One of these days I hope to work on the solo challenge with him
