Whenever these conversations come up, we always get these "I totally remember my character charm soloing Vox in classic" comments.
Meanwhile, everyone else who played in classic remembers the class very clearly, because we all grouped with them in classic. They were not charm soloing gods; in fact the vast majority didn't solo (even while Druids, Mages, Necros, etc. did): they grouped. In groups they most certainly did not charm regularly in groups (as it was far too risky)! They mezzed, and hasted, and cast clarity, and the good ones would get hit from time to time to get their animation to give some tiny extra DPS. But most just did mez/clarity/haste. If you ask random people (not P99 Enchanter players) who played EQ in 1999-2001 what Enchanters were like, I guarantee 90+% will give you something like the above, and not this unclassic P99 version where "Enchanters are the best soloing class and can charm solo anything with ease". And similarly if you look at objective evidence, like old forum posts or other Wayback Machine stuff from the era, they'll all describe the same classic enchanter, who was nothing like the P99 Enchanter, because in live ... to a far greater degree than here ... charm was risky and dangerous.

In classic enchanters were viewed as a weak class. Even into expansions.

Did anything actually change within the last year for the class?

why not argue that shaman dot's are way too strong on p99, because back in the day I only ever saw shamans in groups buffing, debuffing, and healing. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ^^^ this is meant as a joke.

Biggest memory I have of charming-soloing was much later (in PoP) where I would solo in Bastion of Thunder and Plane of Valor for exp and profits. Though my memory is extremely hazy - which I suspect is the caze for many people replying to threads here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | |||
