I'm not sure how you derived 1) and 2) from those quotes. I'm guessing it was this:



When I read that, I interpret it as:
"When charm soloing as an enchanter between levels 40 and 50, mobs you charmed could kill two other mobs before charm broke."

Which would be much more reasonable regarding his 2.5 - 3 minute standard charm duration if he's soloing low-mid dark blues.
Well I guessed a bit higher in level because a) from 45-50 is when mob HPs start to take off. A L45 mob only has 4k HP, a L50 mob has 10k, while the damage they do does not increase proportionally. So its right around then that charmed pets would have a hard time finishing fights. Second, even a hasted L45 mob is just not that damaging to an L55 enchanter, especially when its not dual wielding.

But we can argue the details. I just wanted to get the ball rolling with actual evidence rather than whining from enchanters and hating from the haters. It's a simple method of calculating charm durations rather than 'oh I remember this'. I like mathematics a lot more than vague memories.
