Necro or Enchanter for a solo class?

Chanters can't raid alone you know. There are vital roles to fulfill:

Ranger: take the DT to make the raid official

Well! In velious, this changes to ;

Ranger : pop WS for 24 seconds of being an aggro generation unit and then splatting all over the tank.

So it sounds more like in regards to the actual classes Enchanter is the one that beats the Necro, however is much harder to play and is stressful. Where as a Necro can get the job done also, but is more relaxed and doesn't require as much concentration?

Pretty accurate. Necros do get a few nice solo tools that chanters don't get: FD, self-heal (lifetap), and self-rez. Enchanter at low HP pretty much has to sit on his/her a$$ and regen. Outdoor soloing for necros = easy mode.

As someone who leveled a Necromancer to 60 followed by an Enchanter to 60, hands down go with Enchanter. As long as it suits your play-style. Not to knock Necromancers, but some people just prefer them and there's nothing wrong with that.

Wish I had never sold my Necro, he could pretty much solo what he wanted (as long as the mob was within level range and did not summon). Still, does not compare to what an Enchanter can do

Necro's will be a more attractive class for raid guilds come velious. Going to be hell the first few months as the heal team figures out how to manage mana regeneration through those 300k hp fights.

More attractive, but still terrible.

It took Funeral Pyre and high AC mobs to bring necros back to DPS mediocrity. DOTs did fuck all until they changed Extended Affliction Foci to Burning Affliction while simultaneously halving DOT durations while keeping the overall damage the same. At that point, they became competitive.

Prenerfed mod-rods are what fuel your CH chain in Velious, not twitch. Pretty simple to manage, have a few mages shitting rods in a corner for 3 minutes before you engage the dragon. Have the druids who haven't rerolled clerics heal the clerics. Torpor is effective for healing modrods, but the important piece here is that you want your druids to feel ashamed of the choices that they made at the character select screen.

You could always try and level one of each of the classes to a certain level, and then decide which one you prefer.

In terms of speed of xp / effectiveness, it's pretty simple. If you are going to charm the majority of the time you are soloing, Enchanter. If you aren't going to charm, Necromancer.

Disagree with you, a charming necro is as fast if not faster and safer.
