Game Mechanics: Ridiculous Critical Resist Rate for Necromancer Lulls

I have been trying out a necro and aside from the fact that I have yet to get a single group invite over 3 levels I've been doing ok. However, I have noticed that Rest the Dead has an insanely high critical resist rate compared to what I am used to on an Enchanter. Unfortunately this is not easy to parse from logs but I would guess about 75% of resists are critical. Basically I've gotten to the point where any time I get a critical resist I automatically FD. If I had to guess, I would bet that necromancer lull is charisma dependent and probably should not be.

I will look into seeing if necromancers are affected differently than other folks, but fails should be common.

i mained a cleric on live, i used to lull/pacify/whatever everything. hard resists were seldom.

Past 2002, it worked, sure. Before that, it did not.

Go try on eqmac pal

eqmac is Planes of Power era and should have no aggro for their lull/pacify spells.
