Playing through EQ for the first time. Went with enchanter and mostly play solo. I don't feel comfortable charming while in a group until I've had more practice as I've died plenty of times to charm breaks.

That is awesome! There is a ton of strategy you can dig through on these forums, and it's an incredibly unique gameplay experience that is super challenging and rewarding to master!

If you haven't watched Tecmos Deception the old school dudes videos on youtube, give them all a watch, he taught literally everyone on p99 how to play enchanter.

Before him it was an elite skill only cool people knew about.

There's plenty of reasons to use it and plenty of reasons not to. You just have to know when.

A good example I see is a lot of people sweating over the ghost of kindle kill, charming a possibly 54 undead with lots of MR and lulling the whole room and all.

You can summon an animation in the corridor and pull her with a crit fail lull, she's on a different faction. Zumaiks will handle her if you stop her from CHing.

Use it when it makes sense. And if someone wants to use it when it doesn't, who cares.

Indeed. People underestimate the power of these kinds of pets. Enchanter Animation and Shaman Doggo aren't as powerful as a Mage or Necro pet, but Enchanters and Shamans have utility to make up for this. Slow by iteself is a huge boost to pet survivability.

Shaman Doggo can tank a Cliff Golem for the entire fight. Zumaik's is stronger than Shaman Doggo. You can't easily control it, but Enchanters can control everything else.

You can use it for various things like killing Felia Goldwing, farming low level dungeons, or XP groups before your 20s. If you're in an XP group with your animation after 30 then it's next to useless.
