A good guide for new Enchanters

I have been asked by several people in-game about speccing for Enchanters and I have sent them this nice guide.

It was written by Verena on the old forum and has helped me alot :)

So here it comes...

Ok, here we go. First start with a brief summary of our spell lists.

Light Line.
1: DD's that are stronger then your base DD and use a lot less power.
2: Attack speed debuff. Great spell for pulling and if you like to solo a lot this is a must. Saves you lots of heals when you fight high leveled mobs.
3: Same as No2 but this is an A(rea)E(ffect) spell. It can be usefull in RvR, but I'd rather cast a DD in the same time. PvE only when timed right, and it breaks mezz.
Mana Line
1: PBAE (Point blank Area Effect), great for RvR. Period. PvE on the other hand it's use is very limited.
2: Run Speed, must I say more? If you solo, get this as soon as possible.
3: Focus Shield Complete and utterly useless in 1.45+. We have the dmg shield we can cast on others now.
Enchantment
1: Pet buffs, only usefull for pet. Not much to say about. Maybe in the future they're going to change it but right now the difference is minimal.
2: Arms Buff. The famous dmg add that everyone loves. Best buff overall for your pet in this line.

Ok, now we’re going to look at what kind of char you want.

If you plan to solo a lot then the choice is very easy. Lvl 1-5 save your points and put ‘em all into the Enchantment line. Then lvl 6-13 go full light. Lvl 14 put all your points you gained that level into mana for the first speedbuff. These will probably be the last points you'll want to put in mana for a very long time.
What we want for this template is a good pet and DD's that cost less power. If you don't put enough points into Light, then you have almost no other option then using your Sun line (base) DD spell. Not enough specpoints into light and your dmg variance will be all over the place.
Basically what you want as a Light/Enchantment spec in the end can have a few different directions. Always concider that the more you let your pet dmg the mob the more exp it will steal. Going beyond 34 in enchantments is NOT worth it, that the only strong advice I can give you. Ignoring your Light line too much you’ll be forced to use the base DD which will drain you out of power every yellow you fight.

Now onto an example spec.

Doing the same as above, going for enchantments in the beginning to make the early levels a breeze.

At lvl 25: M5/L22/E10
At lvl 33: M5/L28/E15
At lvl 36: M15/L28/E15

After lvl 33 you should go Mana, It will give you the great PBAE spells for RvR and the next speedbuff.
Then from that point up to the last spend points you should bring Light up to 35 for the next DD. Then going Mana till 25 the next few levels before switching back to Light to 45 for the final DD in the Light spec-line.

There you can figure out how to divide your points every level.



Enjoy :)

PBAE is Mythics gift to PvE. All you need is a few tanks and you're fine. Get a tank on each mob then just blast away with it. Mobs drop very fast. Also it's good for single targets as it far outdamages single target nukes on any line.

Hail!

I've been playing an Enchanter on the side, primarily to test him out for the PvP server ;)

Naturally I'm looking at the Mana spec line, and my final template looks like:
Mana: 48
Light: 14
Ench: 20

I'm only lv12 at the moment, with 7, 5, 8 respectively. I'm looking to bump light to 8, Ench to 11, then have Mana at 15 by lv21.


Any tips on how you solo will be appreciated :D
Currently, I send in my Ally and once the mob is down to 85% health, I nuke away with my specline DD, mana efficient and keeps agro off me.

I'm not totally comfortable with the PBAE yet, the only time a mob came for me I couldn't get it off, even with a Quickcast :/

How do you guys PB nuke and stay alive?

Soloing with PBAOE (or "The Discobubble") is a bit harder. Basically you'll want mobs that bring friends and drop in two casts, meaning usually green con or so. Send tank pet in with damage shield, wait a bit, walk into the middle, cast and quickcast. The rate at which you kill plus the group bonus will more than make up for the targets being lower con.

Also, for a "more" "advanced" guide, take a look at
