Charm Time and Setup

[zelld52]

As others have said the level difference is the most important factor for landing any spell, not just charm.

You'd think that a mob that is blue con would be easy to land spells on - but it's not. As a 60 enchanter, I still have trouble landing spells on level 51-55 mobs. But, the level 40-50 mobs very rarely cause any trouble.

charisma does not have an effect charm duration. it supposedly has an effect on the initial cast - but the real reason enchanters stack charisma is to avoid critical fails on pacify.

even if you have 255 charisma, give your pet -40 MR in gear - if the level difference between you and the pet isnt large enough - the charm will break early and often.
