Higher CHA affects the initial cast of mesmerize. After the initial cast, mez will last the entire duration of the spell if it sticks on a mob. Each level of mez has an assigned duration, and generally each successive level of mesmerize lasts longer than the previous. However, L49 Dazzle typically will last longer than L53 Boltran's BS. Confirmed by myself and by guildies. From what I have read, the spell has a lower chance of being resisted, but it does not last as long as Dazzle. Dun bother with Boltran. He was a dumb enchanter. Well-meaning, but I don't think he ever got invited to any raids.

A note about Glamour of Kintaz (that's the level 54 mez - Boltran's Agacerie is the level 53 charm upgrade to Allure): it's only slightly less resistible, if at all, but it
can mez higher-level mobs than the lower-level mesmerize spells, and that's where it comes in handy. It doesn't last very long, but it's the only thing you have that will mez a sebilite juggernaut until Rapture at 59.

From what I have read, extra Charisma will reduce the chance that your Lull gets resisted, and further it will affect whether or not the spell gets resisted in such a way that you get aggro from the resist. I don't know of anyone who has logged a reference-able test of this. I have high CHA, and my Lulls in Howling Stones at character L56 are rarely resisted, if that helps ya.

Pretty much, yeah. Straight resists on lulls are purely level/MR-based. Critical resists (the ones that aggro the target) are a second CHA-based roll taken if the mob passes the MR check. It's night and day going from a 250 CHA enchanter to a 110 CHA cleric when trying to lull. About 5% of my enchanter's lull resists are critical. With the cleric, it's closer to 20%.
