Hmm. None of the L50+ enchanters in our guild seem to have this problem.
The other night camping a Veeshan's key piece in Karnor's sewers our
enchanter was keeping 6+ mobs under control pretty well continuously
most of the night, thanks to the lovely bugs down there. Just when we'd
work down to the last couple of mobs, another couple would drop through
the ceiling on us to add to the fun. If it wasn't for clarity 2 and the
bard playing cantata non-stop we probably wouldn't have been able to
handle it for as long as we did, but it was great, intense fun until we
finally got an 11+ pull and had to evac.

If a bard could even keep 3 mezzed it would at least make grouping at
50+ a bit more fun than having to sit around until an enchanter logged
on to go to Sebilis or HS. Once you pass 55 even pickup groups in
Karnors stop being an option as the front mobs turn mostly green.
