Racial hide isn't reliable enough to be worthwhile even prior to the IVU component of hide being nerfed, and the fact that ENC get a fixed duration invis to negate the advantage of being able to afk safely on blue it falls between Erudite or High Elf. If you want to cancel charm, cast invis (I think taper enchantment was nerfed?) or pony up the cash for a goblin ring, something you'd do as a Dark Elf either way.
1) Regarding Erudite resists, its an extra 5 MR, not 10, at the cost of the harder to acquire DR (red player here, thus that perspective.)
2) Once you factor in needing to pump 5 agil on the Erudite, the stat divide between High Elf and Erudite becomes equal in terms of total INT / CHA points.
3) INT is easier to acquire than CHA. (On non pleb-tier gear. Yes, opalline earrings are cheap, but we're talking dope ass Velious lewt.)
4) If you have to make a naked CR self clearing to your corpse solo, every bit of base CHA matters.
High Elf wins.
