I am wanting to get more into charming as a necro but it just seems so inconsistent. I can charm a mob 5+ levels below me and the charm commonly lasts less than a minute. This is hardly enough time to kill a mob with a charmed pet.

I've heard many things regarding the modifier for necro charm. Higher charisma, lower charisma, cha doesnt matter, higher int, MR check....the list goes on and on. I was hoping to get some opinions, ideas, or better, someone that has done experiments and knows something on the matter.

Thanks in advance.

nothing matters but the spell, mob lvl and MR and even then it can be quite random.
