Noone knows or will ever know the exact classic formula. If you possibly have non classic data already in use it's absurd to suggest you can't replace it with anything but proven classic values that can never be acquired.

what "formula"? are we talking about magic resist code? we can know it, or approximate it as best we can over a decade of trial and error, which we are
are we suggesting charm had a different MR code? we can know that too. we just need to do more digging
if this is about enc charm pet dmg, we can be pretty certain of that too, as far as it appears in logs, some of which survived
the invis breaking charm is something we can and should investigate further. i'm in full support of this or other classic nerfs as long as it doesnt present other technical issues and exploits AND its actually classic
i guess im not just not ready to throw my hands up and say "ok i give up, just nerf it with custom values" and i dont think we should be sending that message to the devs about any feature. its very, very classic that a shaman and enc can duo content made for groups. they're both strong classes that have unique weaknesses but complement each other well. and we definitely shouldnt be getting emotional and hyperbolic about this. its a game yes, but its also a museum project for the staff, which have signed some sort of contract to keep it that way. for all we know they can't go and rebalance things and make "custom" content because they made a commitment in writing to DBG to only restore classic... but that's just me talking, i dont know the extent of that contract.
