Coercers are a class within the archetype of Mage. Coercers in EQ2, often viewed as Enchanters, specialize in controlling others in combat. Along with Illusionists, Coercers are the experts of crowd control. With the ability to control the crowd, they can stun, mesmerize and root foes enabling the group members to attack a target at a time.

The Coercer class is not a damage dealer, but most useful in groups as they have main abilities such as crowd control, damage over time, buffs and charm. Coercers have a limited choice of armor. They can don only very light armor (cloth, usually robes). This class of intellect can use weapons like 2 handed staff, single duel wield dagger, single handed dagger or wand.
