How well can Enchanters solo these days??

[Snagglepuss]

Hi all,

I haven't logged in since last December, and I remember charm being very dependent on charisma levels over 200 as well as being ineffective pre-39. I've searched through the forum, but I was wondering if anyone could re-cap the current charm situation for Enchanters with regard to its effectiveness at lower levels and realistically obtainable charisma levels.

I solo-charmed on live almost exclusively to 50, but I would get very frustrated on p1999 when charm would only last 20 seconds or so at level 20. I read somewhere that charm is no longer as charimsa dependent? Is this true?
