While we're at it let me add this as well..

So Torven sent me the logic they use on TAKP which I've given to the P99 devs. They took their code from a client decompile so it's as close as I imagine you could get to accuracy. A Trilogy client decompile would be interesting to see, perhaps the logic is in there too (TAKP's client code has a few extra lines to handle channeling AAs, they modify the roll a bit). But looking at it I doubt it changed much.
Based on what I see, channeling is indeed overpowered on p99.
Low level characters should start out with only a 10% chance to channel through hits, which climbs a hill from a minimum roll of 39 to a maximum roll of 370, out of 391, as you progress your levels and channeling skill. It caps at 95% chance to channel.
Additionally you get a level bonus to channel if the spell you are casting is more than 5 levels lower than you are.
Chance to channel is effectively capped at 10% until level 6. Then it scales slowly upwards as a function of level and channeling skill.
My level 3 iksar shaman was about 50/50 to channel through hits on p99 which always felt off. Her chance should be 10%.
A level 10 caster with max channeling and casting a level 8 spell should have a 16% chance to channel.
A level 20 caster with max channeling and casting a 20th spell should have a 31% chance to channel. But casting level 4 gate, they would have a 44% chance to channel due to level bonus.
A level 55 SK with 210 channeling, casting Feign Death (level 30 spell for them) would have a 73% chance to channel (due also to level bonus).
That should give you an idea of how it scales.

At level 1 on P99 you have the channeling success rate of level ~30. This ridiculously successful channeling rate on P99 greatly benefits Enchanter especially at lower levels. Really though this is a whole other can of worms about why P99 is so easy and everyone just stacks up at max level easily zerging raid mobs.
