OK, so it was simply a typo. That's previous poster was simply referring to a group of 3 creatures with double chevrons and that is why he said you would get slaughtered.
No one doubts the ability of an Enchanter being able to solo. We're not playing EQLive anymore. It was simply a misunderstanding between 2 parties :) And the fact that you are level 15. This will change as you get higher up in level.
i did understand this... and, although i did intend to type a single ^, i was just trying to prove a point with my original post, is all :x. i'd no intention of causing overanalysis on anyone's part, as i was simply attempting to provide an example of the variety of play options available.
i do believe that similar feats are possible, although not proven directly to me yet, at higher levels, as i did beta as a chanter, and, barring major changes, it should still be possible in eq2live.
the amazing bit is... that soloing a chanter, or any character, for that matter, in eq2 is soooo much simpler than in eq1, it's almost comical :).
i dont have to have timers in my head anymore for mezzes, stuns, roots, or dots. if i get into trouble,i just run around a bit, and either lose the mob, or regen enough to continue, or die, which runyariel, in her 2nd incarnation, doesnt mind doing, as it's a bit of a tradition for chanters :).
i've also enjoyed soloing *all* of my other toons, though, as i was attempting to point out, each takes a different mindset, which is part of the fun of playing them all :).
and, yes, it's likely that priests, with their armour advantages, would be able to solo more effectively. i havent played my priests above level 10 in live, but i'd be willing to grant you this point :). again, my original point being a demonstration of different soloing techniques for different classes.
