Cool my charm now doesn't last long enough to cast Celerity on my pet with 231 CHA...

Charm was OPed, but this nerf is too much. 212 cha and charm dont last more than a few ticks on a blue con mob. If I am lucky a minute. Nerf is too harsh.

I have rechecked the charm calculations. One of the things to note, all mobs are not created equal. So as charm was back in classic, and on live for that matter, some mobs will be easy to charm. Some will be a nightmare. Use all the tools available, and experiment on different mobs, and you will find charm is still very useful. Just do not expect it to work the way it did, on just any mob you find.

thanks for fixing charm! I've been waiting for that update for a very long time, now maybe we can get some chanters in groups.

I feel sorry for any enchanters or bards who bothered to put points into charisma during character creation instead of STA (thank god I didn't). It was always a waste to invest in that stat on live and it looks like now it will be here as well. Might be time for a reroll.

Guise of the Deceiver doesn't change faction with dark elves. Prepatch: i could use the guise and be non-kos, postpatch: neriak guards are still scowling

Chanter illussion doesnt work either, but maybe thats how it was in classic, what do i know.

No, illusions worked in classic. its how a lot of players did quests and bought items (especially enchanters buying enchant bars spell down in neriak)

It must be your religion. I can walk around every single area in Neriak without being KOS, even near the necros.

Unless the patch changed this it's your religion (I'm agnostic as all enchanters should be).

This is a post patch mechanics break. Dark Elf illusion factions (at least from the mask) are now broken (i have heard from other enchanters that their illusions are broken too, but I have only confirmed the mask).
