How are Enchanters in PvP on RED99?

Search yeilds no current info about this and I hear mixxed things in-game. How are Enchanters in pvp here?

The conspicuous way no one seems to want to answer any questions is making me want to play one to find out the deal. Always a bunch on in comparison to other classes, so something must be up?

Disclaimer: I don't play an enchanter on red so a lot of this is speculation. Enchanters are probably the best soloers in the game, mostly because charm is overpowered and they get lulls and a whole bunch of crowd control spells. But for charm to last longer you need charisma gear, and most charisma gear doesn't give you resists or things that would be useful in pvp. So I imagine you'll need a whole set of gear for pvp and one for pve, which isn't a big deal since most serious players do this already (the only difference is that this is more optional with non-enchanters). Their spells are very magic-heavy and most players at the high-end know to max out MR, so you might not find yourself being as useful later on, but you will probably dominate people with lower resists with spells like mez/whirl till you hurl and decent nukes. Also you get tash and other nice debuffs. TLDR, enchanters are amazing for pve, and my impression is that they're solid in pvp as well.

Thank you, Giegue.

I don't need to be OP...just like to be able to hold my own under reasonable circumstances. The class appeals to me because it's been years since I played one, and it's pretty apparent you want to play something that can solo here, at this point. Every class I pick seems to have some whopping turd in the punchbowl because of compounding issues, so just wanted to see if there were any serious gotchas anyone knew of.

Thanks!

Only class w better survivability in pvp is a cleric/pal/nec and obviously warriors, theyre the last to die every time. (but not because they are hard to kill)

For me it's kind of a tossup between Seaweedpimp's and Kateyperry's bouncing one.

Gloinz quote is classy and the bouncing awesomeness is gone so I defer #1 to Waltersig
