Should have articulated a little more clearly. The perception of your class's contribution is the important part. It is indeed true that by the time you are charming level 20 mobs (realistically, lvl 24+ unless you are nicely twinked) you'll do more damage in a group setting than any other classic class. But at the same time, I have seen two or three enchanters regularly, none of which are able or willing to charm anything above a green con. So if everyone thinks enchanters are ass until lvl 29 where they become crack dispensers, then that is gonna be your perceived contribution as well.

Why would I be referring to another server?

some new players on green don't know the contribution that a charmed mob brings to the group. it's true they have an outmoded view of enchanters as crack dispensers; these players probably played on live and not blue. it's not necessarily common but i have encounter it twice - I surprised the heck out of the group by holding a charm the entire time we were grouped. they didn't know about mechanics like rod of insidious glamour to always get a mez/charm off after a stun or things like that, so to them it is reasonable to be suspicious of an enchanter's ability to hold a charm.

Outside of the scope of this discussion, but I want to add that right at lvl 12, when enc gets charm, it's not as good as the animation. I speak with some confidence as your animation at that level can solo even cons, but a charmed mob -3 lvls definitely cannot. It happens again with the 16 animation as it can also kill lvl 15 mobs. Sometime around 18-19 the things you can charm catch, but do they outdps all other classes? I am skeptical, e.g. mage pets are substantially stronger than animations, and the mage itself does some damage with nukes, also better than you could. From 20+ though mobs can be given a torch to triple attack, and mobs are hitting for max 40. That's confidently better than any other class. So at some time between 12 and 24 an enchanter should switch to charming fulltime in a group from using animations. When they do it is probably a matter of taste.
