How gimped is a Coercer without masters?

[Newcaesar]

<p>Hey all,</p><p>I have a semi-high level illy that I just don't feel like playing anymore, but I am considering betraying to Coercer and then copying over to EQ2:X where I will only maintain a 'silver' account. I will play <em>fairly  </em>regularly but not enough to get gear raided, so will only be relying on MC gear and expert level spells. I will play with my kids on occasion but will mostly solo, so I just wondered how bad it would be for a Coercer without Masters, especially charms when soloing?</p><p>Any thought would be appreciated, cheers.</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry too much about Masters as they aren't that much more powerful vs Expert.</p><p>OTOH being restricted to MC/Treasured will severly [Removed for Content] you after T7.  </p>

<p>Most Masters are nice to have but not essential. The only ones you really need are Charm pre-level 65 and Possess Essence after. The Mastered Charm makes a big difference but you can add AA's into Enhance: Charm to reduce the resistability.</p>
