Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my first post. Average charm duration is completely meaningless. The concept of a mean only works for normally-distributed data. A lot of data does come from a normally-distributed population, but in this case that simply isn't true. For exponential data like this you can use the median instead, but that has very limited utility and generally doesn't allow the application of statistical tests. You really need to perform a deeper analysis of the data and extract an estimate of the core underlying probability.

What I meant is when you're in your mid 50s and you charm a low to mid 40 mobs, it will usually last a couple minutes on most charms if you remove the outliars. With similar conditions, his attempts on the ilis shaman rarely broke the 60 seconds mark. This suggests mob level plays a major role in charm duration.

As an aside, ironically I did notice a resist on the initial cast of Cajoling Whispers last night, so it can happen. It does seem very rare though, and I have to wonder if this shares the same 98% success rate that's applied to charm break rolls.

Since my mid 40s I don't think I've ever had an initial cast resist on any charm. Only resists I had was landing a lower charm on a mob that was too high. That being said I almost always mez + tash + charm. Considering a ton of charms break before 30 ticks I don't think it is the same formula for charm landing because I'm at like 100% success rate.
I've been thinking about this lately and in my 50s I think I got a single color slant resist and maybe also one mesmerization resist? Not 100% sure, I could swear it happened but it is VERY rare if even possible and those mobs aren't always tashed. But now that I think of it, it also has been a LONG time since I got a nuke or slow resist. Unless I get a crit fail on lull I usually tash everything to make root more stable and lessen the odds of getting a simultaneous root+charm break. I feel like except for charm, the last tash you get in your mid 50s really makes almost everything land for most of the exp trash but then again you're fighting mobs 10-17 levels below you so it is hard to know what does what.
Lull on the other hand... been getting fewer crit resists as levels go up but regular resists are still quite common.
