I wonder if I made a mistake rolling my ENC

[fugazi]

As a 21 ench / 19 cleric duo you could go to EK. Anything near the Gorge should be low blue so 1) charm will stick and 2) once it is low, it is easy to break and finish off. If you're feeling a bit more daring, you can go to Runnyeye and xp on the second floor where all the goblins will a solid blue and the zone's ZEM will help you out. The loot sort of sucks, you need to learn the spawn spots and roamers, but it is worth it as Runnyeye can carry you up to 25 in no time.

Thanks for all the advice folks! I feel a bit better about things. I'll have to get some more practice and try so more stuff. I am really curios, how are folks breaking charm? My ENC is my highest character, I can't afford a Goblin Ring by a long shot so I don't know any way to control a charm break. I'd appreciate any advice!

Thank again for all the context and instruction! I actually haven't played since I posted but I think I will return!

Invis yourself and stun/mez all the mobs. if you have enough space, you don't even have to stun them.

I never use invis to break charm. you lose targeting of the mobs and I screw it up all the time and end up invising my pet and stuff. Use taper enchantment. Cast it on your pet and it will dispel the charm, and then you've already got the expet targeted for a root or nuke. And it costs almost no mana. Sometimes it doesn't work, but that's maybe 1 out of 10 so its almost foolproof.

[Tecmos Deception]

Taper isn't THAT foolproof because it won't work as reliably against higher-level charm spells or against NPCs thst have buffs.

Assign a hotkey to "switch between last two targets" in your hotkey options and use that to invis yourself and still be able to switch back to your pet immediately to root/mez/nuke it.

Watch my videos if you care to. You'll see me hitting f1 to swap targets between myself and pet at the end of a pets lifespan so I am use my ~ key to swap between the two of us to break charm and reacquire target on pet quickly.


As for invising your pet? Lol. If you don't notice you are about to invis your pet instead to yourself, then using taper you'd also be as likely to dispel yourself as your pet.

[nostalgiaquest]

lol yeah, I'm a total newb still and I really need to hotkey that switch between targets. I've found tapering easier because it doesn't involve targeting yourself at all. I have my UI setup so the pet's and mobs life bars are right next to each other. So at 15% or so, reroot mob, target pet, try hide first since I'm a DE, if that fails taper, root/nuke. Little target changing required. I haven't had too much of an issue with buffed mobs messing that plan up yet, but I'm only lvl 25, so I assume that get's more messy later.

Invising a pet makes for a fun end to charm kill though. I like to spice it up a bit =P.

Charm oriented enchanters want a minimum of 200-205 CHA (with gear) So that they can be buffed up to 255 max.

You can find int and mana gear after that. Nothing wrong with your choice. Level up and don't worry about it. You have clarity use that to help ur mana.

I went 25 CHA and 5 STR on my erudite to help carry loot, but honestly I don't think these last 5 points matter at any level.
