I think the main shortcoming of that old post that claims charm isn't worth it is that it is not a fact, but an opinion. If there was data, such as "I charmed 100 mobs and charm broke within the first minute 50% of the time," then it could be used to tune the numbers.

what data did the staff use to set their charm rates?

It is highly unlikely they nerf enchanter charm here without a good reason. The best reason would be the provision of evidence that it is not classic. They do other non classic things on occasion, but generally they are not arbitrary, and are usually related to easing the burden on their guide volunteers, or preventing people from "breaking" content in some sort of manner that the staff feel is against their vision of the spirit of classic EQ. I suppose you could try to make a case somehow along those lines, but I doubt youll be successful -- the much more likely path to success would be the classic evidence.

im just gonna say it's very, very hard to believe that the people played on live who discovered tons of obscure shit were too stupid to notice that ENC can break the game with charms

We're never going to get a look inside the true classic values so the proof thing is moot either way. Instead we have to live with these arbitrary values that somebody pulled out of their ass that makes one class insanely overpowered. In Live you'd basically never have more than one chanter in a group, here I've been in several groups with 4 chanters and the dps is so far beyond any other class composition its ridiculous. Almost impossible to even take damage aside from one charm break every 5 minutes either. And I'm talking about level 20 groups on Teal or Green, with almost naked chanters.

Yes having played from just after launch in 99, I can say the charm I see on this server is nothing like how it was. It is stupid. It trivializes content, is broken OP and just ridiculous. It is the one thing I really hate about P99.
The only people who could possibly not want this changed are face rollers who want to continue to face roll their way through content. My question is, why aren't you playing Battle for Azeroth? Hate it. | ||

I'm sensing a lot of disgruntled melee players in this thread. If you enjoy melee in EQ, you are a mouthbreather.
That blurb from '99 sounds like some cleric's opinion on whether the chanter should Charm or not. Clerics in '99 were some slope-shouldered dude's fat wife or scabrous GF with the situational awareness of a mushroom. Apparently their husbands got old and now have opinions in this thread. | ||

My first character was an enchanter on fennin ro on launch. Charm broke a lot and definitely was not reliable. It definitely wasn't a strategy that I used to level up.
