Nice topic
I love playing casters due to their mental strength and I'm always drawn to the more subtle arts of the mind that enchanters could for example perform in EQ1. Blowing up things was never as interesting for me. That's why I will try this class. Depending on this choice, I will have to pick my race and since I have been a Dark Elf in EQ1 and enjoyed roleplaying it a lot, I will stick to it.
I cannot say why Enchanters or Psioncist (is it spelled that way? .. kinda embarassing
) seem so charming to me but that's the way it is....
