Enchanter soloing

[Norathorr]

Hi my friend is playing an enchanter and is lv 12 and has just got charm. Is charming the best way to get solo exp or should charming be used later on. He has had a few deaths charming so far. I have no knowledge of int casters so any veteran help on this subject would be helpful.

I am currently a level 16 ench and have done a fair amount of solo charm killing. They say it starts to get easier in the 30s, but if you take your time you can do it at 12. The best advice I can give is that you want to always keep what your killing rooted. This way when your charm drops you only need to worry about 1 mob.

Beyond that you can experiment with nuking your target to try and kill a few mobs with 1 pet or try and get your pet and target to around 15-20%, invis to break charm and nuke both for full xp.

Sow helps a lot and so does cha gear.

Edit... Also, it's a good idea to charm blue mobs as even and higher mobs seem to break more often.

Great info from Mazeri and Adament...[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd recommend reading the Enchanter guides on the Project 1999 Wiki
for more info. They are PACKED with great tips.

A few more quick tips.

1) Keep target mob rooted at all times and slowed too for more safety.
2) Have CHA buff on you at all times.
3) Tash mob you want to charm first and charm will last longer.
4) Use Color Flux/Shift to stun mob when charm breaks, to give
you some time to recast Charm.
5) Break Charm/Kill pet first, then kill target to ensure full XP for both kills.
6) When duoing with a healer, keep pet around with heals and put haste
on it. Best and easiest XP I have found.
7) Charm blue or light blues only...anything higher will break charm quickly.

Good luck!

Can anyone else comment on this? I was under the impression that if you break charm the damage your pet did is no longer counted toward xp and therefore it wouldn't matter if you killed pet first or second. Thanks!

Yes, if you break charm you get full xp. If you want to keep pet and still get xp then back pet off and mem blur the mob. Easier than breaking charm and having to deal with 2 mobs.

Will this also break root on the other mob?

No, since your charmed pet is just Tashan'd and Charm'd.

While your target mob is Tashan'd and Rooted.

So, taper ench on your pet will remove the Charm buff on it (Tashan is a debuff).

If you haste your pet while DUOing with a cleric or shaman, then for full exp you'll need to break charm which is easier with Invis since you're TWO buffs deep on the mob.

I thought in a group the pet xp penalty is removed as long as you (not your pet) do 1pt of damage?
