Half of P99 code base is from random old sites like that.
And there it is, the admission on an old classic site that Charm isn't worth it even in groups most of the time.

This post is so ignorant and dumb that I honestly feel like it might be a troll post.
You have to realize, we've had 20 years to min/max every single EQ strategy. Charming is one of those that has been super-focused on. People didn't understand the mechanics of Charm breaks back then. They also hadn't perfected the typical Charm killing strategy and therefore many Enchanters didn't think about things like rooting the non-pet mob, tashing things to reduce Magic Resistance, and how their level difference versus the Charmed pet could affect break frequency.
There's no coding difference between P99 and EQ classic era Charm that makes it operate any differently on P99. People have just min/maxed the strategy and have way more knowledge than they did back then. That's why it seems more OP than it was in the classic era, but in actuality it's not.
