There's a good chance those repeated tick numbers was the hard cap on cajoling whispers for that level. Were you L50 for the pawn?

Ah. Yes, I think you have the answer there. The orc pawn data was collected when I was level 44, the data with a cap at 155 when I was 48 and the data capped at 161 ticks when I was 49. So you're right, this is probably simply an effect governed by caster level. Though the increase doesn't seem linear (+12 ticks from L44 to 48 vs +6 ticks form 48 to 49).

If you start with the most important stat as high as possible, though, it gives you more wiggle room to get more HP and MR.

Yeah I read guides saying cha is easy to get so go full sta or cha/int split, I went for a 15/15 split and regret it. Not a fatal mistake but I wish I went full charisma. Not all slots have interesting charisma options so going full cha frees up a bunch of those for more interesting gear.

That means a noticeable amount of pets will make it to the end, that's nice to know. Never noticed since I kill my pet after every fight for leveling but when you reach farming status it is sometimes more interesting to keep one around for a bit.
