Perpetuality gets up to 5, which is V, not IV. And most of the time I will use Illuminate for that.

We use an MA, even on trash, so it's not easy to time the moment of dps contact, as it depends on him pushing the bloody button. So I precast the stuff I want to, and the moment he has a target, I hit Illuminate and get nuking.

Illuminate is good for the first mob, but if your tank needs to have a 5 second delay between mobs (chain pulling ftw!), then illuminate won't be up all the time. So the other methods suggested are good to utilize when your primary method to get to perp-5 isn't available.

chain pulling ftw indeed

just cast haste if your tank is a slow arse.. it gets perp5 up.

After the word from fanfaire, I'm hoping and praying that next expansion it will be more than dps and the ability to put the right buff on the right person that will set us apart.

I rolled this character in 2004 with the idea it would be a bit like EQ1. Obviously that will never be the case but it would be nice to be an Enchanter again, even if only for a few encounters.

Same. TBQH I don't enjoy the dps race regardless of if I'm good at it. I'd much rather the role we had in EQ1 where CC was required to win certain strats. When we server firsted Ozyk prior to the nerf, we used a CC strat which I came up with and it was the first time in a long time I actually felt like an enchanter. Sigh... I really wish we'd see more encounters that relied on CC, though I very much doubt we will.

I fully agree and support this notion of CC for Enchanters in Raids. Which I have been fighting for since T5.

I remember.

The game has always badly needed it too. With 24 classes they need as much diversity in combat as possible ... Tank/DPS/Heal has never been enough. It was crazy to simplify it.
