Enchanters

I find myself attacking purple con tanks now.
-And winning or making them flee.

This will probably change in the higher levels with more resist gear and -spells in the game, but really....

Here's a few tips:

Even or lower con enemy:
1) Stick pet (yes, the annoying snarenuking one)
2) When pet is halfway through first cast, cast the stun
3) Kill

Red and above:
1) Stick pet (yes, still that pet)
2) Run a bit further so you have distance to the pet
3) Wait till enemy reacts on pet
4) Blast away, dont waste time on stun

Being pursued by speeder:
1) Turn camera 180
2) When pursuer gets in range, stick pet
3) Pursuer drops out of speed, you gain distance
4) Option:
Pursuer goes for pet =>stun/nuke till dead
Pursuer is red+=>run, you have plenty of time
Pursuer goes for you => let pet kill him

As the observant reader might have noticed, all of these tactics are based around the pet :rolleyes:

Things to beware of:
orange+ skalds, cabas, air theurgs, minsts
yellow+ chanters

Enchanters should not complain when they start being randomly ganked by everyone.
When I played on Camlann I would kill all enchanters I could find, grey or higher. Greys would team up and try to kill me as I would leave TNN, etc. They just deserve to die. I must say that some fecker named Who actually managed to scare me a few times, he was green con. Got there just by pk'ing I think.
Anyway, nice advice Ody, but there are enough lame ass enchanters on the servers already :)

I play a chanter on Camlann... i think its a fun class witch can survive solo... easy to exp with... just becuase i play a chanter doesnt make me a l337 lamer...

Killing with a chanter is always easier when you have the opportunity(sp?) of attack... getting sneak-attacked is a whole other story :mad:

Depending on whether I can find the chanter usually decides the outcome - DD/debuff/snare to stop him running means dead chanter very fast :)

Champs will own you all :p

Except that as soon as you go for the pet, expect to get a stun and a crapload of nukes.
You own stun is your only chance, but you wil have to get in range of the chanter - thats 3-4-5 nukes.

I dont fear minstrels, they can be interrupted. Skalds however are an entirely different story.

We all new lots of people would play chanters....

That stun pet should get a big nerf, and I suspect it will do...

was toying around with a chanter, they are superb, but I dont get that satisfaction thing when I killl anything... and I dont feel the person u attack gets much enjoyment to, there isnt much they can do to stop you....

a boring and overpowered class for PvP really....

in the normal RVR environment on a normal server the solo capabilites of the enchanter isnt really fully utilised (for a number of reasons, but mainly cuz soloing, in DAOC is getting harder and harder)

Id like to see them nerfed for PVP but, not normal servers, dunno if that can be done....

they do need nerfing though, no question about that, no class should be able to solo a purple under any circumstances.

(granted soloing a purple with a chanter is still very very hard, but it can be done)

Because I think 90% of the enchanters play one because whit it they can pwnz(DD snare + run away + stick the pet and wait- the- target- to -be -behind- a -wall- and -exploit- bug= easy kill even for a moron)Ill kill all manachanters I see in game :p almost the lame ones :pP

When i see one, and as soon as he/she starts sending in their pet, whilst sitting down chuckling to themselves about how they 'pwnz' .... then and only then will they see the white of my eyes and im gonna rip their feckin head off.

RARRRRR!

So if ur a lame ass chanter DONT think your safe, coz im gonna be watching!

for those of you that keep sayin chanters are overpowered for PvP.. not really 1 or 2 hits off a tank they die. A skald can easily take care of a chanter & his pet. I have a chanter but will only attack enemy guild green con or higher (unlike many other lame guilds who attack grays no matter what) though there been occasions when sum lowbie gray infils thinks they can sneak up to me & crit, do they not realise i can see them coming from a few yards away & i just sit & w8 till they make the 1st move then i just pbaoe no more infil!

in the early days of DAoC when PvP was still in BETA in us ppl were saying how PvP would be a stealthers paradise, so expect to see ppl crying nerfs for stealthers as soon as chanters get nerfed.

Every class has it good & bad points, if your 1 of those ppl that keep on moaning how overpowered & uber chanters are just roll 1 ya self & stop moaning, if & When chanters do get nerfed then it wont be long till ppl start saying another class is too overpowered & they start crying for nerfs (see above)! so its gunna be a neverending thing...chanters are a part of DAoC/PvP accept it, if you cant deal with it then PvP aint for you ;)

ive accepted the fact that there will always be idiots in PvP who go around ganking grays & i have my own hitlist of these noobs for when i reach a higher enuff lev (& trust me you will get no peace from me & my pet!)

for those of you that keep sayin chanters are overpowered for PvP..

So your conclusion would be that me taking on redcons of (almost) any class without second thought is not a sign of a class that is unbalanced?

Heck, yesterday I chased off a purple paladin that had to run for her life with only a sliver of health left - literally less than |

OK so chanters are not overpowered because they cannot take out more than 1-2 persons at a time.....redcon that is...

chanters have their counters but they are a particularly sick class.

still, soon there'll be more than enough mentalists around to wipe out entire enchanter brigades in one RA ;)
