Advice on Starting as Enchanter

[totmanc]

I've already listed the benefits of being an Erudite.
150 bonus mana at 50. Higher MR. More Health. More STR. Higher Dex.

10 Charisma for a racial which is laughable to max does not make high elf better.

Only if you're less than 255, which is fairly easy to achieve in raid gear.

Higher Dex.

This is just not true. Erudite is tied with High Elf for the lowest DEX of all Enchanter races. If this was really your concern, you would roll a Gnome. Furthermore, I question how beneficial this is going to be to begin with.

More Health.

5 STA for a level 60 Enchanter is what... 12 HP? You want to talk about laughable...

More STR.

By 5.

It's more substantial than anything you listed. You also lose 15 AGI, which is probably going to be worse than anything you listed except for maybe the tiny amount of MR. But you can make up for that by wearing more resist gear since your CHA is easier to max.

Is this what you get for playing red? Do uncontested raid bosses make you forget how your class works?

I was wrong I looked up the stats dex is the same for both HE and Erudite

At the end of a the day when you enter the raid scene as an enchanter you are a buff bot either way so may as well be an erudite for that extra mana. Prior to that bonus mana is nice for charm breaks

Red has 2 raid guilds Ragnarok and Apex both capable of killing Vulak with ease and has 50v50 characters fighting over the dragons? as opposed to a footrace to tap a dragon on the snout good god.

I think you severely misunderstand why you would want to wear raid gear as an Enchanter.
