What level are you?

Overlapping enchanter/bard duties was a problem before and
into the 20s or so. After that, both classes have so many
options and only a limited amount of mana/time that you can't
exercise all of them. Once you get to your 30s, there is no
way an enchanter will be able to DoT, DD, mez, debuff, and do
attack speedups and clarity for the group. Likewise, a bard
can't heal, buff, clarity, buff resists, do attack speedups,
and mob debuffs. Having a bard (or second enchanter) means
one can concentrate on some of these tasks, while the other
concentrates on the rest.
