I play a high elf enchanter and geared him almost entirely +int with the remaining points (5 I believe) in +cha. My unbuffed cha is 185 and 200 with my level 24 cha buff. I notice a very large difference in charm breaks between these numbers so I have a feeling (although untested) that the 200 soft cap greatly increases the duration of your charm.
With that being said, +cha equipment is easy to find and cheap. If I were to do it over again I would have rolled DE, maxed +cha and dumped the remainder into +int while looking for as much +cha equipment to get me to at least 200 then going for +hp (+55 hp rings are bauss!!!). Keep in mind that many pieces of +cha equipment also give +int later on so you really won't have to sacrifice when it counts the most.
