The issue here isnt the level cap of the charm, but rather how reliable charming was. essentially it didnt matter how strong the NPC was, because charm was so unreliable it was going to kill your enchanter and then probably your group. (or just the enchanter if solo).
The charming level cap continued to increase as the levels increased which is expected, but this is not what is being debated. The debate is that charm was too unreliable to use to the extent in which we do on P99. Basically it keeps breaking and you can't rely on it for anything worth relying on it for.
a 1200hp rune isn't really going to change how insane NPC damage output got. As well as the gear by the time charm got nerfed. unless you are talking about higher tier players (time geared etc.) but this once again was NOT the norm.
When we are talking about available gear, it also kind of negates your arguement because that kind of gear was not available on the velious timeline. I'm looking for changes in the reliablity of the spell itself. Out of era gear is irrelevant.
Show me AAs, or evidence that the spells themselves made it EASIER to charm mobs in later expansions, and then we are onto something.
