Encs suggestions

I for one would LOVE seeing chanters becomming usefull high end. They are one of my favorite classes to play and I want to make one and single box it but where would I go at 70 after im done with ToV? I will be as useful as a leaking hose in a house fire. Really makes me sad because im tired of either healer,tanking,or just waiting for crap to die. Hence why I havent played my donor Sk,donor War,my cleric,my ranger,or my monk in awhile(and all are pretty badass mind you). Im in the middle of picking a single class to play and enchanter would be my #1 choice if they were useful T4+

I played an enchanter on live for ~6 years as a main. It's easily my favorite class in EQ. Sadly they don't really have much of a place in (any) EMU server as they were on live.

To make the enchanter's life fun, you need adds. Lots of them. Adds that can't be handled by tanking them all with the current tier's gear. Putting something like that in an encounter on an EMU server will cause people to complain that the enchanter is required for an encounter. It's a valid argument and I would probably complain a bit myself as I'm trying to box my way as far as I can on this server solo and if an enchanter is really needed you need to be 100% focused on the enchanter's job. That doesn't really leave any time for the dps chars, healing, tanking, etc.

With that said, I would load up the enchanter a bit more if it could even come close to a shaman's usefulness to the whole group. I think Loly made that point already.

Edit: I would highly consider moving to a single/two box with the enchanter if I thought I could relive my 'glory days'

twin cast buff. win

As Brontu said, enchanters getting a unique buff from Tier 8 that will allow you to double cast spells.

Rk. I: Single Target 1 minute duration, 2:30 cooldown
Rk. II: Single Target 1:30 Duration, 2:30 cooldown
Rk. III: Group buff 2 minute duration, 2:30 cooldown

Also, as far as requiring enchanters for events, Just wait till you get to Dreadspire. I built atleast one event entirely around enchanters

[Atops]

can this "event" be done with a Bard?

[Vaion]

it can be done with a few classes, but the enchanter makes it 10x easier
