On P99, for whatever reason, mobs become completely unable to resist if you're sufficiently higher level than them and they don't have higher MR than whatever is the default for trash mobs. It wasn't actually like that back in the day, or even to this day on live servers (including TLPs). It's a "feature" unique to P99, or at least to emulated servers. Basically a bug. Using a level 60 character at ABC, it wouldn't have mattered if you had 1 charisma when casting on the mobs that are below whatever the threshold is for a 0% resist chance. Charisma makes a pretty big difference when you aren't casting on mobs that are like 10-15 levels below you. Your assessment of charisma's effects on crit fails isn't really valid outside that particular context.

The level gap between a level 60 and spawns in ABC is no different than a solo paladin though. In the early levels the PC vs NPC level gap is pretty close so Charisma is more noticeable but devoting starting points to help in Unrest is short-sighted. Soloing a melee at some point you are hunting for the easiest dark blues you can find.
This certainly isn’t trying to buck the trend for enchanters farming chardok who cap charisma. It’s also not saying a paladin’s proper lull kit isn’t occasionally useful. Just adding a counter point to so many theorycrafters on the forums saying dwarves are a dysfunctional pick or god-forbid that most new players should add CHA to elves and humans. Especially if one is more of a grouper since you have CC watching your back and the paladin is by far the most durable class that can lull.
