Keep in mind, CHA only affects the critical resist and not lull resist in general. The issue with it in green / teal is that at a lower level, even blues are much closer to your level than when youre 50+
I would guess this is most likely the reason. At higher levels the con range gets larger and you are fighting things a lot lower level than you a lot of the time.

On blue I created a pally twink with the idea I wanted to use it to pacify and pull. I invested in a lot of CHA gear. I was around 160 or 180 cha and at low levels I would still get resists. Around 30 it started to get where I could actually use it in Lguk but it was still iffy and would pull the whole room. Around 45+ i think in Solb and beyond and def 50+ in the kunark dungeon and the hole I would use it all the time and would not even worry about a crit resist they were so rare. I even quit doing stuff like equipping a crude stein to pacify b/c resist were so rare at that point.

Wow. So at low levels, charisma doesn't matter because you get so many resists anyway; and at high levels, charisma doesn't matter because you get so few resists anyway. So much for the new Charisma Cleric min-max meta.

Yeah maybe.... But is it classic that the crude stein, one item that was primarily made to help ogres compensate their lack of charisma while selling/buying to the merch, is one of the most overpowered items in the game ? I don't think so.

Many stats are completely fucked in p99.
Is that the purpose of that item? Because the difference in prices for the CHA delta it provides is absurdly low. I think that was one of those mechanics they started to implement but forgot or didn't give a shit about; like begging.

Anecdote time! My necro crit pulled on 2/4 Numb the Dead in Najena a couple of days ago against light blues.

As people have already said, its more about the ratio of levels.
Even as a 60 ench with 255 cha my sphincter would clench when lulling ilis or krup frogs.

There are no "light blue", just "dark green" cons...

Pacify line for pallys, and clerics worked fine on live , i never had an issue using it , i never played blue , so maybe its just screwed up with blue coding. /shrug

Anecdotally, I remember on live we used to joke about the pacify line being a pulling tool as it usually immediately aggroed rather than lulled.
