For charm specifics I first tried charming mino slavers at level 12. I pulled with tash, charmed, and then immediately pulled another to get them killing as fast as possible. Since the zone line was close enough I tried 8 different times. Only one time was I successful in killing the pair. I'm a high elf but wasn't geared at that point, I had over 100 chr though. I gave up got an animation out and changed what I was going for.

At 16 I decided to try charming again, got some chr gear out of tunnel and went to lavastorm. I was successful in the sense that I got levels out of it but I was using the najena zone line a lot. Typical kills would require almost a full mana bar. Chr at this point was 150 I believe.

At 19 I decided to try killing nek guards at the bridge. Soothe wouldn't land on blue guards so I gave up, got an animation out and soloed the single guard at lava zone and the stone guardians.

At 20 I did gorge hounds in EK. Lots of early breaks, lots of rooting so I could recharm, but it got me to 22. At that point I had my chr buff so I'm up to 167 now. Did crag spiders to 24, same thing needed a lot of rooting and a typical kill required 70-100% of my mana. At 24 spiders were being camped by 3 other people so I went back to gorge hounds to get a bubble of exp so I wouldn't delevel. Thats where I got the 50% break rate on greens. I was going to try getting some of my incandescent armor and went to fight shadowmen. Out of 10 casts calm landed once before it critical resisted and I gated out. Came back, resisted 12 times before critical resisting and I couldn't get a spell off and died.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread but what exactly am I doing wrong? Most guides and players suggest resists are so bad but I've been experiencing a nightmare of resists.

Sounds like you need to start investing in some charisma gear.
