Serious discussion about Charisma after Charm Nerf

[guineapig]

All I can tell you for certain is that in Plane of Fear for example, we often use charm as an additional means of crowd control. I used to have to change gear around so I had at least 200-203 charisma in order to be able to hold the mobs, is my charisma spell dropped for example the duration of the charm was noticeable immdeiately.

Since the nerf I can still hold mobs in Fear for a couple minutes when I need to, the only difference is that My charisma is usually in the 160's to 180's now. I have not attempted to keep a pet for full duration on raids as we don't need the extra DPS and the risk simply isn't worth it. It's noteworthy to mention that Planes mobs have a pretty high resist I'm generally charming something that is at most 1-2 levels below me.

I haven't tried really going below 130 charisma to test things out yet, sorry. Been concentrating on alts when not raiding.

I'll let you know if I make it to SolB and see how long charm lasts with different levels of charisma...
