Found this on Casters Realm...

Baelish: Since Enchanters are beat on more than any other class in
the game. Could the stats on insidious armor be looked at give higher
ac / hitpoints? Perhaps a self only AC spell be introduced at higher
levels to help out? Unlike other casters, Enchanters are forced to
engage mobs that are currently not attacking them in order to be
effective in performing their duties. With the use of charm and
mesmerise at high levels this is even more dangerous, yet Enchanters
get no new tools to really help in this. Even 700HP on Rune V won't
last more than a couple of rounds, and at a cost of 14p a cast.

GZ: Actually, Bards are beat on more then any other class in the
game. And no - Enchanters, need a party to help keep monsters off
them - it is a downside to being one of the most powerful classes in
EQ.

There you have it. :)
