Role: Crowd Control / Buffer / Debuffer

EQL-Specific Enchanter Changes
💪 EQL Enchanter — 2nd Most Popular Class in Beta
Enchanter charm is extremely viable in EQL. An AA makes charm 100% unbreakable. Valid charm targets exist in Planes of Hate, Fear, and Sky. Boon of the Guru (werewolf illusion + lifetap proc + dexterity) is confirmed an Enchanter ability. This makes Enchanter the second most popular class in beta.

Stat Priorities
- Intelligence (INT): Mana pool. Enchanter needs lots of mana for chain CC.
- Charisma (CHA): Affects charm tick checks. With unbreakable charm AA, less critical but still important.
- Stamina (STA): HP. Enchanters are cloth-wearers — every HP matters.
- Dexterity (DEX): Reduces spell fizzle.
Why Enchanter in David's Combo?
In the Bard/Paladin/Enchanter trio, the Enchanter provides the crowd control backbone. Bard handles passive buffs and pulling. Paladin tanks. Enchanter locks down adds, charms a DPS pet, and keeps Clarity + Haste active. The synergy of Bard's passive Clarity song + Enchanter's Clarity spell creates stacking mana regen.
