<DIV>If you plan on raiding, you're wasting your time, roll a bard.  If you plan on grouping, the class is fine, and so you should continue on your way.</DIV>

<P>from my experience with assassin and illusionist the only situations where both seem broken are raids. in groups both are excelent, solo both are so-so.</P> <P>if you did reroll enchanter with raiding in mind, yes you are waisting your time. unless we get fixed till you hit 60. but my guess is assassin will get fixed earlier.</P> <P> </P>

Everything gets better once you hit 20. I rarely use my root spells anymore. Resists dont happen to often for me, but they do happen. Hang in there.... Illusionists are fun.Gweetoe 25 IllusionistBefallen<div></div>

<P>Yeah, our root got nerfed (along with our encounter mez) because some Devs at SOE thought being able to lock down mobs made us too powerful.</P> <P>However, it's perfectly fine and balanced for a DPS class to easily kill the same encounters.</P> <P>As stated above, you can get by without the root, the class is most fun to play in groups of 3-4.</P>

<DIV>ya the class is fun to solo, duo, group and Duel with.  One thing that people overlook is that we make GREAT chain pullers.  We can keep a steady flow of mobs locked down for the group to kill.   Many people still think tanks should pull...that is soooo slow when grinding or competing for mobs  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In those situations you have a lot of versitility, can lay down decent DPS, mitigate plenty of damage via stuns or stifles so you do not need a healer to duo with or 2nd healer in hard heroic groups.  SKs are fun to duo with as they put out decent DPS and can keep their health up.  Consider duoing with a bruiser or zerker as well...now thats fun stuff <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Root seems to work just fine for me, breaks a little more then it did when the expansion came out, but just be on your toes with your quick stun or mez and your fine.  Consider upgrading that soon as it is an important tool to solo with.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As others have posted, raiding is a BIG problem for us.  Lots of material on these boards to check out on that issue.</DIV> <P><SPAN class=time_text></SPAN> </P><p>Message Edited by Tulerine on <span class=date_text>01-04-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:17 AM</span>
