Coming back and want to play an ENC almost 100% solo, any tips?

The charisma difference between high elf and dark elf means it's more expensive to hit your charisma target as a dark elf. You can break charm other ways.

Stat wise you should be Erudite or High Elf, that's really it. Agnostic Deity.

success rate of hide is trash, anyway. by the time it works, you could have already dispelled your pet or invised yourself.

not worth.

hide fails a lot. i just sit, mem invis in my ffa slot, cast, done. takes 10 seconds. advising players to choose DE b/c of hide is misleading. It is a marginal racial skill, fails a lot, and if you class gets invis.... It's just a lot of eq woo, the de hide ability. Only slightly more powerful a racial ability than their native night vision ;P

Do not go Dark Elf. Hide is almost worthless, works <30% of the time.

This. Also chanter solo sucks from about 3-12. The. It sucks less and becomes better ^^

Yes. If at all possible literally beg someone for bone chips till like 10, and your life will be so much better. Those super low levels are no fun for any class, but out of the classes I have played at low levels, it's the worst on enchanter. The dark elf racial is nice, but not dependable. In the short run you will do better with a high elf ( which is much better looking that a erudite ) or an erudite. But if you go really far, once you get equipped with BiS in like 2 years, the starting stats don't matter and you will get GGR eventually and hide wont matter. So there are pros and cons to DE. I don't find it worth it for the most part, but everyone is different.

really? because you can solo pretty much any blue/yellow con with choke + animation

Just find a partner who isn't dumb before lvl 12. You can pull/cc. Get hit once so your animation goes in, let your partner do the rest of the killing, and you focus on using lull/mez/fear to fight one mob at a time.

You're going to either lose half your exp to downtime or half your exp to your pet, so you might as well partner up and split the exp with a buddy instead.
