Empowering  

I'm confused...

I know that Mana Magic is often referred to as Light Magic, but you get these training choices as an Enchanter:

Mana Magic
Light Magic
Enchantments

I'm new to the game, but I've read a few posts in this thread that say that the Bedazzling specialization line comes from Way of the Sun. I am a lvl 22 Enchanter with 18 or 19 (I can't remember exactly) in Mana Magic, 10 in Enchantments. I have 18/19 pts in Mana Magic and I've got my Sun Streak spell, Focus Shield and also PBAoE spells. They definitely come in this line of training, which according to this web site is Way of the Sun. When you train in Light Magic (I have about 3 pts in this, maybe less I can't remember) you get your damage shields and things while you level, and (I'm assuming, since I only have 1 Bedazzling spell) you get more Bedazzling skills as you specialize in Light Magic. Enchantments are self explanatory.

So I'm wondering...Are you all referring to MANA Magic when you refer to "training in Light magic"? If so, "Light Magic" spells are Way of the Sun not Way of the Moon.

My ae enchanter is realy burls.. some people don't know how to use the damage return its quite simple you cast it on your pet after you tell it to attack something. that critter takes equal damage back that a damage buff from enchantment line would do. Then I reel my pet in and Ae the crap outa the critter. Works like a charm reds and oranges too.

being a level 32 Enchanter on Avalon (ger Server), i guess i have some experience in playing this class i would like to share. First of all, the highend game of DAOC is the Realm vs Realm-Fight. Not like in EQ the hunt after bigger, stronger, faster mobs :P I was first a bit unoriented about how to skill my enchanter. Sure, i wanted to be able to solo orange and red, but on the other side i wanted to be able to help the group aswell. Here is my Hint-Guide to make a well-skilled enchanter :)) (its up to you if you follow the hint :)

Empowering Mana-Magic (RVR-abilities)
This is the ultimate Skill for Area-nuking down mass middis and albis with a few shots.

Bedazzling Light-Magic (Group-Abilities)
Absolutly great attack-slow-spells

Enchantment Enchantment-Mastery (Solo-Abilties)
Let your pet roxor the mobs :)

Now lets go to the skill-section and how its a good way to use all 3 and get great spells

1: In the first levels (till 18) put all your points into Enchantment-Mastery to get a stronger pet. It will be able to solo 2 oranges at once (mine was able to do)

2. When you get to level 19, start skilling your Light-Spec-line Bedazzling. You will get a nice attack-slow-spell at Skill-Level 7, who will help you a lot.

3. Get higher Levels and bring your Enchantment-Mastery to Level 24 (not higher, if you want to get the highest AE-nuke in mana) and Bedazzling to 14 to recieve the 22% attack-slow. Higher bedazzling would be inefficent, since the casttime is long and with a great group you wont slow that much...

4. Now that you finished your Enchantment-Mastery and Bedazzling-Skilling, you put EVERY SKILLPOINT into Mana-Skill-Line Empowering. With this method you will be able to get your line to 48, where you recieve the last AE-nuke. The 50er spell is worthless, its one of those idiotic pet-shields.

If you use this method, you will have a;) a nice attack-slow 22%, a nice weapon buff for your groupmembers, 53% speed-spell for your group and the area-nuke 300DD...and you still have some points left you can put in other things when you hit 50 :)..

Its only a small guide to make your Enchanter able to be a Solo-char, a Groupchar AND a great RVR-char :)Think about it...you dont have to do it, its just an advice for starters who want to make an allround-Enchanter with mass RVR-skill :))

You people may be right that enchanters are not a happy RVR choice, but we are quite a happy lil defend a keep choice.. Note to all enchanters, Buff the guards =)

Simply put, the Enchanter is Useless for Rvr.
1. AOE useless because a good player will mezzyou or stun you b4 you get in range.

2. Pet useless because no matter how good your pet is.. you die.. pet dies.. and you die quite easily so players are not computers and go for you straight away.

3. Your DD spell range is not as long as the Ranger who can stealth up to you and hand to hand you to death or.. Pick you from a distance.. 1st hit takes down bladeturn and second hit seals your doom. A smart Ranger waits stealthed until you are in range so you dont have time to run away.

So thats the fate that Mythic has sealed for us Enchanters/ress. Unless they make the pet live after we die, or they increase the range of our dd spells or they give us detect invisibilty spells, no use to rvr wih enchanter.

hmm guys i just thght of this : think of this scenario that ur in a small group rvr and you full specced enchantments and your pet is UBER then you see an armsman chraging towards you... you send in the pet, and you keep on stunning that guy, and within a few strokes of the pet that guy is dead =)

eh guys i think the enchant spec line will be almost totally useless in RvR right? so theres only bedazzling and this for RvR.... but it seems that you ouldn't have enugh time to run up to ur enemies to use the PBAoE spell.... pls enlighten me :)

This line of spells is really great even though it takes abit of gettin used to. You get the run speed and all that but the pbae are realy cool. just have your pet run around from blue or green get a good aggro built up then run out to it and quick your pbae and BAM!! bye bye nasty little mobs. hehe. I havent really gotten a chance to try it in RvsR normally die if the baddy gets that close but it has merrit there to i geuss

I am lvl 20 I have 15 points in the mana spec line damn it, guess what I did not get the freaking lvl 15 pbaoe spell. I did get the group run speed spell but not the freaking 15 pbaoe spell. It is listed here at 15 mana points and it is listed at catacombs as 15 mana points. WTF??

heres what I do, I solo 5-6 blues simutaiusly for HUGE exp im level 16.

I send my pet out to "harvest" monsters, as soon as it gets on one, I immidiatly send it to another, I do this fast, and on blues, by the time I have 5-6 blues on my pet its at half life and dropping fast. I cast the AoE, cast it again before I get swung at, then quick cast it again, I have died once from level 7-16 and this was because I tried to take on 15 greens (lunashtee, Blackthorns)

oh yea my played time is only 11 hours for level 16

Allo Chanters,

I have a newbie question for you all. I am now an 11th level Enchantress and I am confused. While this isn't really unusual...in this case it's irritating.

Would someong PLEASE explain in a detailed way the nature of specialization? I go to the trainer and I am given three options. Sun, Moon and Enchantment. Which lists are under which line and how do I focus on a list? Thanks.

Ok im a lvl 25 chanter, im thinking about specializing in this field eventually, i mean at lvl 48 we get a 300 AoE(thats pretty damn good comparing all other spells). But the main reason is that I think this spell will kick butt in RvR. I would be able to totally drain a group of tanks if held together. Just wanna know what evey1 thinks.

i am lvl 20 and dont have this spell yet. is the level wrong that you have posted?

I have tp agree... The AOE's are great in RVR, and the speed spell is great for traveling. Personally I'm going 44 in Enchantment 7 in Bedazzling just to get the firts debuff for a pull spell and dumping the rest in here..
