This is, of course, total crap. Enchanters have a complete lock on crowd
control at the moment, and at high levels, no one will even consider
going many places without an enchanter in the group because you just
can't pull less than 4+ mobs to break the area. And guess what, there's
not enough enchanters to go around, never has been and probably never
will be. Every other class has other classes that can fill in doing the
same job, if not quite as well, as their class, but lullaby isn't a weak
entrance, the secondary resists make it a useless one. Why do enchanters
get exclusive rights to one function? By your logic, enchanters should
have never been given clarity, which was once only available from bards
with their song, as it would devalue bards and there would be no need
for them.
