He mostly played/wrote during the early Classic period. you can see in one of his notes where he mentions that DoTs no longer count as neutral damage sources. Which means he must have been playing pretty early after the game was released as that was changed really early on.
He also goes out of his way to mention velious/luclin "updates" yet never does for kunark, which again makes me think he primarily wrote that from vanilla through kunark, hence never mentions kunark.
The problem with charm and how much cha affects it is, is that the randomness of the spell is so great that whatever cha is possibly doing i's very hard to tell and to properly tested youd need a massive sample size due to that varience. A week or two ago on green at level 60, I was charming a level 36-36 mob with no special reists to magic and it broke 6 times in row within the first 2-3 ticks. other times I get back to back max duration charms. With variance like that it would take thousands upon thousands of hours of charm testing with the same mob to come to any decent conclusion.
