Enchanter or Magician

[Dezik]

Hey all!

So after trying out Guild Wars 2 I have come to the realization that P99 is still the best place to be for me and my MMO addiction lol. Something about the lore, atmosphere and general layout of the game is still, imo, the best there is. So I am back!!

Anyways, yes, this is another "so help me pick a class" thread. I realize these come up a lot and so I apologize in advance. My question is between what I "think" I have it narrowed down, Enchanter or Magician, although I am willing to accept alternatives given my play style if anyone wants to offer one up.

What I am looking for is a class that can operate on its own if need be, does well in a group (doesn't need to be 100% required) and can be a Dark Elf [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. What I have it narrowed down to is the two mentioned above. Can anyone give me the pro's and con's to each? I understand Enchanters are awsome and needed in groups and have a great solo capability with charm. My only concern is 1) raid effectiveness and 2) Never played an enchanter and don't want to make stupid, group wiping mistakes. I love the idea of the magician, however my concern here is 1) pet taking exp making gimick moves like pet kiting a necessity and 2) not exactly group or raid friendly end game.

Anyways, sorry for the long post. If any high level enchanters or magicians, or anyone with knowledge of the class wants to weigh in on what they would choose and why I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks!
