Not because it's a money-maker, but because I've never played one before.

Enchanters do play different for sure. You got some of the taste with your necro since they can lull and charm, but Enchanters do get more tools than a Necro for control, and you aren't limited to Undead.

As for your Monk's solo-ability after getting those items, it does indeed depend on what level you are. I got a Fungi Tunic recently for a baby Monk, and it made levels 10-20 fly by since I basically never had to sit.

But yeah, once you start fighting mobs that are level 40+, they hit too hard for Fungi Tunic to work like it does when fighting mobs from 1-39. Fungi Tunic becomes a tool to reduce down time, rather than a crazy efficient damage soaker.

the highest kill rate goes to necros for the avg npc (sustained dps and self heals and regen and lich)

next enhanters they do have some downtime (and can die)

shms require a lot of work to come in 3rd

if you are just killing as many npc as possible in the shortest time.

I'm leaning towards Enchanter, but Shaman is probably much easier to play?

I want pros and cons (before I spend too much money on my Shaman alt)

I have both at 60 and honestly can’t stand farming on my Shaman. I can’t stand the constant canni/torpor/dot play style and it’s way slower. Enchanter also doesn’t require a 50k spell in order to farm gear. You can basically farm anything with a basic tunnel gear setup and the only spell you want that’s semi expensive is Bedlam. I do all my farming on my Enchanter.

Completely agree with Trebaloon

I never played one on live and finally made one as my 4th char on p99 and now main it. The versatility and the excitement are what did it for me.

Enchanter can be stressful when RNG not going your way. Having charm break 2-3 times in a row quickly on a very low blue con mob even at 250 cha can be annoying. Luckily these events can be semi rare

Enchanter needs lots of careful prep, and as someone else mentioned, fast reaction with the stuns and cc. Because without heals any significant hp loss = lots of downtime sitting in troll illusion

This sounds like when I learned how to charm on my Necro in HS.

I hated it. I didn't like it.

It was cool to pull an entire room of like 6 mobs and chain charm and kill them only using like 20% of your mana.

But screw that mess. I couldn't imagine doing it without FD.

enchanters have a much better time charming that druids or necros, of course ench charming is still alot of work, but its not nearly the headache that necros or druids will experience.

I have a 60 sham and 60 mage. Besides double-loot week I haven’t been to Chardok in over a year. I prefer to farm with the mage because it’s less annoying (if one can believe it).

No ench but also a 60 Druid. I think I’d rather gear it and play in Chardok tbh. Like you said the dot/torp/epic song and dance is just a painful ordeal.

I’d definitely put necro and enchanters above the sham. If you have a sham and like the class it’s ability to farm is nice…it’s just not the main perk of the class.

See the 400 page mage Vs shaman thread….shamans are better in 100% of scenarios bc they are a dps class, lawl.
