Also, apparently I'm the only enc on the server who *almost* disregards CHA. Buffed, my CHA is around 170ish I think, been leveling my SK and haven't been on my enc to check. However, I am a firm believer that levels over the mob + tash >>>>>>>> CHA for charming mobs. CHA, at least how I remembered from live, affected the initial resist check (Your target resisted the Boltan's Agacerie spell.) but did nothing for duration once it actually landed. Classic may be different, but I can't say my lower CHA has ever gotten me killed from some mob not staying charmed.

On Live, from Velious to GoD (my most active period), CHA was universally accepted as playing a highly important role in keeping mobs charmed. Not just initial resist. I'm fairly sure that was supported by dev quotes. It was never huge, and we never discovered any break points ("get at least X CHA!"), but it definitely helped.
That said, having a slightly lower chance of charm break won't help much if you die more often due to having no HP. It's all about the tradeoffs. Swapping out 10AC/110HP worth of rings to gain 14 CHA is probably not worth it. Swapping out a +10 INT +10HP Stein of Moggok to get +12 CHA from RoIG probably is.
