Enchanter race? Why Elves?

[Swish]

"Why not erudite?" for most classes.... nobody wants to start in Tox forest :/

Does an Erudite need to drop 5 points into agility as an enchanter? Does all the agi if a darky help with taking hits?

I leveled to 60 on my ench charming with a combination of Hide and Invis, so not as good as IVU clicky ring but it's good enough.

Nah. Just get Loam boots or something.

I play a dark elf. Cause I like the way they look. Racial hide is near worthless.

Immune to your own mez? I assume you're talking about AE mez. Do you get hit with that often?

This happens at level 56. When soloing (or not), often times you've got a few mobs on top of you or close by. Being immune to mez makes this a piece of cake: stun > target self > AE mez. More generally, it's just nice to not worry about the proximity of AE mez when you're in close quarters, or if you've positioned yourself close to the action.

Is the 5 to agi a must have? I've heard mixed reviews on how it affects caster ac.

FWIW at level one the difference between 70agi and 75 agi on my erudite was 1ac and 10ac. And it was probably only 1 because it can't be 0.

[Stonewallx39]

I'm not sure i'm understanding. Are you saying when you were level 1 with no gear and 70 agi your ac was 1, but same scenerio with 75 agi you had 10 ac?

[Man0warr]

Don't put points into AGI at character select, that's all you need to know.

With my chanter i had self augmentation up most of the time. It does not cost much mana and gives you AC, and if you had an agi problem it solves that too.

So no real need for agilty for a chanter.

My blue server enchanter was a dark elf, made after my red high elf.

Actually racial hide is great for breaking charm quickly (unless RNG gets you after 2-3 fails lol), its hard to go back to not having it as a free to hit button on red.

I always liked the look of dark elves the most as caster races go.

The enchanter class has the duality of being noticeably devious and subtly helpful so an agnostic dark elf makes all kinds of sense.
