I think we do need a boost. Especially coercers. Give them the same basic weapon bonus as other mages or just give them a group buff until canceled to increase WB/SWB. Reduce basic casting time of shock wave by 50% considering that new expansion has lots of aoe fights. Give an additional group buff to increase a chance of mythical crit. Something along these lines to make them attractive for hire. And for the eq2 sake give them more high damage pets to charm. Think of to give a charm in raids zones too. Maybe not for 35 mins but for reduced period of few mins. Something is in need to be done with coercers.
I would hate to retire my enchanters I came to love to play.
