Pally critical lull fail
 

Has anyone actually side by side parsed with the same mob a same gear high charisma pally versus a dwarf average charisma paladin?

I mean like the same actual charisma upgrades like you’d have if reasonably well geared. So not base 45 charisma but the actually working charisma level of a velious paladin.

I just wanna know if it’s worth being a stupid human or high elf instead of a handsome dwarf just because of the charisma.

I think this is the closest thing I’ve read on the forums:

I leveled up in Unrest and gradually got rid of my Crusty and started using a crude stein to break the basement. The bump from sub 100 to low 100’s felt noticeable. I think a few piece set would be sufficient. Jester crown, crude stein, overseer signets, maybe a dragonskin mask from WW. Mine has a lot more pieces but swapping that much gear is a PITA.

Assuming it works as for enchanters, yes it's noticable.

A Dwarf will struggle getting any decent cha even with the glamour sword and max points into charisma. IIRC a dwarf with max charisma could would still have better melee stats than a Human or Erudite who went all sta (I'd go all cha). If you don't have a crown of narandi then kobold jester's crown makes sense and largely makes up for the poor charisma. Items like Matchless Dragon Bracers and Greaves of Distraction could help.

TLDR: Dwarf will be doable if you're twinking HARD, otherwise you will have a noticable difference when it comes to lulls.

A human should be a fair choice too if you don't wanna go HE. Almost same cha as HE and better stats.

It depends where you fight too and how actively you use lull spells. In a group likely never. Solo sometimes depending where you adventure.

Splitting two guards near a zone line? Easy. Over a course of a solo grind in lower guk you could see more 2-4 pulls with no easy escape.

I always picked safer spots. Roll the dice enough you are going to get snake eyes. Without a long duration root until 54 cycle-camping two rooted npcs is almost impossible.

Its noticeable. Human max cha paladin = ultimate min/max

Yes -- I'm not at home so I don't have my data tables, but I recorded data for a paladin and cleric.

At 100 cha, Paladin got crit resist about 30% of the time on Lull. At 175 CHA, paladin got about 10% crit resist on lull.

Cleric was the same. There is a formula around here, I'll dig through my posts, to find it.

dwarves cant wear robes, automatically worse. hope that helps.

150+ is really the sweet spot for paci
255 is best,but below 150 crits are noticeably more frequent.
If you have 130-140 from gear,with the glamour sword you should be ok for regular XP mobs.

MobRoll = ((((MobMR + MobLevel) / 3) / MobMaxMR()) + (RandomFloat(-10, 10) / 100.0)

CasterRoll = (((CasterCha + CasterLevel / 3) / CasterMaxCha) + (RandomFloat(-10, 10) / 100.0)


If the Caster Roll is less than Mob Roll, you get a "Critical" resist, and the mob will aggro.

this is why high elf is the ultimate min/max race in this era for paladin.
