Nobody is using dictate unless they have to.

Dictates appeal isn't the fixed duration, it's that it can charm mobs you can't with other charms because of the level cap.

You need to gear up your enchanter if you think boltrans lasts 1-3 minuets and often breaks withint he first two server ticks.

Also most people use the puppet strings to kill the biggest nameds in the game and aren't even enchanters and are even ugly lizards!

Strings just cast allure though thats 51 max??

The thing about chanters is you can't really gear them beyond just being level 60 with 255 cha when it comes to charm, and the CHA component isn't even that important- it's way more important for paci duration.

Boltran's will certainly last closer to it's max duration if the level differential between you and the mob is larger, but if you're charming lvl 50-53 mobs it's basically a crapshoot when it decides to break.

Just take whatever you think charms durations are now, and reduce them by 2/3rds.

I get that you're saying people use dictate effectively to kill difficult mobs.

Im saying that every mob an enchanter solo's should be that difficult.

Currently now, you just dick around in seb with a speed of shissared pet that breaks every 15-20 minuets.

I don't even have epic and have no interest in one really, like I said encs are super non-gear-dependent. You can die deep within a dungeon and get back in naked easily if there aren't any locked doors in the way. Vog is better than epic haste anyway for pets because of the atk bonus and the fact it's a somewhat slower haste, which means you have a somewhat higher chance of living on breaks.

Once you're 60, and have 255 cha, you're pretty much good to go, especially if you don't roll high elf because the gear required to get 255 cha as a non-high elf will also be giving you tons of int and mana. And also it won't always look like you're wearing white nikes.

Sure, I'm just saying that all that said charm should last 2/3 less long as it does.

I think it would have the largest effect on solo leveling an enchanter.

So calling all loramins to say "it encourages grouping"
