Is this argument just a humblebrag or are you trying to support my position? Because you in no way offered a retort to the point I made.

Oh, don't answer. I just realized you play on red and therefor won't ever be able to form a coherent argument.

But your Magelo proves that the CHA from being a High Elf is more important than ever. Thank you for that.

Ive always liked DE enchanters. You can get steins a lot easier IIRC.

Zade is also right, its a mild bonus, but level 8 DE Chanters can quest the Stein of Moggok sooner [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (make sure to kill the qeynos fish using a throwaway alt [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

[totmanc]

if you are at the raid level you are literally just buff bot. As an enchanter if you are soloing you can swap out your gear if it that grief to you.

1) more mana = more mana if charm breaks
2) more dex = better chance of channeling spells after break
3) more sta = more health.

Min/max means best blend not highest charisma also which is what i referenced.

From a newbie asking a question in the Starting Zone to needlessly defensive insults in under 2 pages (not that I necessarily disagree with Samoht's logic ...)

It's just too bad that highest CHA means best min/max as far as Enchanters are concerned. You barely hit 200 CHA buffed in that gear set you linked and I don't see the items in your inventory to raise you to 255.

Neriad shawl/Some illusionist gear/Insignia Prot. But resists on red supersede anything else.
I don't know things might be different on red vs blue however.

Bonus to MR, Str, Int massively, Dex all make up for that 10 charisma racial.

Nah, that's not how Enchanters work at all.

[totmanc]

I've already listed the benefits of being an Erudite.
150 bonus mana at 50. Higher MR. More Health. More STR. Higher Dex.

10 Charisma for a racial which is laughable to max does not make high elf better.

Only if you're less than 255, which is fairly easy to achieve in raid gear.

Higher Dex.

This is just not true. Erudite is tied with High Elf for the lowest DEX of all Enchanter races. If this was really your concern, you would roll a Gnome. Furthermore, I question how beneficial this is going to be to begin with.

More Health.

5 STA for a level 60 Enchanter is what... 12 HP? You want to talk about laughable...

More STR.

By 5.

It's more substantial than anything you listed. You also lose 15 AGI, which is probably going to be worse than anything you listed except for maybe the tiny amount of MR. But you can make up for that by wearing more resist gear since your CHA is easier to max.

Is this what you get for playing red? Do uncontested raid bosses make you forget how your class works?
