I killed around 24 green mobs(so charmed 12 of them) and was saw 3 of them break charm on the first or second tick, and 3 more break charm early. All of this was on mobs I hit with tash first. Root is similar breaking or outright resisting. The lull line is just totally useless to me, I see all resists with the occasional stick about 10% of the time.

Definitely for a druid at least you guys have sow and snare. For me charming is better than soloing with an animation but dear god resist rates are ridiculous.
I was charming blues on my 18 enchanter the other day and it was fine. You have to be able to deal with early root/charm breaks; accept them and move on. Keep your distance from the mobs so if stuff breaks early you have time to recast whatever spell needs to be recast (assuming you're outdoors). If every spell landed every time and lasted for full duration then this would be one hell of a boring game. Certainly charming on a low-level enchanter is trickier than on a druid (since druids literally never need to get hit unless they're charming indoors) but it is very doable.
