(BTW, it'd be great if we could get links for all your great work, so that, should this stuff ever get to Nilbog, he can reference it more easily).

Im not sure how to edit the wiki, but I can look into that, but for now heres some helpful Enchanter CR links:

Cha affecting charm: https://web.archive.org/web/20031005.../enchanter.asp
Charisma: This affects amount you will be paid for goods by NPC merchants, and how much they will pay you. It also affects the saving throw on certain Bard and Enchanter spells (charms in particular). There is much debate over the true importance of Charisma for enchanters. It seems that the truly defining element which impacts on charm durations, mesmerise resists and other supposedly "charisma" based spells is actually the targets Magic Resistance. Some people claim that it makes a large difference. Studies run at Casters Realm have been inconclusive, so you may choose to say "better safe than sorry" and add some points at creation.

Q: I have been told that charisma is important for the enchanter. But other than getting 100 cha to get best prices from NPC what does Cha really do? And other than charms what spells does it effect? I heard it helps the color flux and Mez series, is this true?
A: Charisma is the base stat for secondary save throws on Charm Spells. It is thought to also affect mesmerises but this seems to be far more dependent on MR and Level.
The true impact of Charisma is still widely debated, and many Enchanters have decided it's usefulness is not as significant as many believe, opting for a higher HP and AC score instead.

Charm Strategy Guide, "It's True Power"

CHARM SOLOING - ITS TRUE POWER. - Haloface, Ayonae Ro
Everyone takes for granted our class' main power.
CHARMING.
I have always overlooked this spell as more of a hassle than anything. Charm, it breaks, you get the crap beaten out of you, you loose lots of mana, your group is angry etc. It can be a real headache. But, if done right, it can be a force to be reckoned with. Here's an example.
At lvl55, I am currently snooping around Sirren's Grotto. I love the zone, and for most people it is a real struggle, the mobs hit fast, the mobs hit hard. So.. I use this to my advantage. Right by the WW zone, there are 9 wulruses. They sit and spawn in pairs, and are spread far apart. The great thing is, is that they con indifferent to everyone. So I pop out of the zone, cast my jboots, zone back in. I change my INT gear for my CHA gear, bringing my CHA up to 220. This really isn't hard to do. To get a 7 piece jewellery set, costs somewhere in the region of 800pp. And then a crude stien, 15cha, like 20pp. Camp the +5 cha earrings in estate of unrest with ease, and of course our quest armour pieces, Incandescent, are also easy to get with great CHA. And let's not forget, we already have a 50CHA buff in our spell line up, and the lost INT can easily be made up with our int and gift series of spells.
So after getting a decent cha, I buff myself, our shielding spell, my highest rune (makesure to tack a few stacks with you, as without the assistance of a healer we tend to hit the dust fast), and then begin.
First off I charm one of the wulruses, the other will aggro, which is when you charmed one will attack it. Move down the hall, and let them duke it out. First thing you will want to do is tash the mob, slow, DoT (which is a great debuff too), and finally cripple. The mob should have the str and agi of a drunk gnome, which, although not greatly having an affect on melee output, really increases the damage done by your charmed mob. After then, I simply buff my mob with a haste spell. Seen as this is velious, the mobs in SG do tend to have a very large amount of hp, in the region of 10 - 12k which is a serious amount. So the fight should last around 2 minutes, which is precisely why you need a decent CHA. And sometimes with a good CHA, the charm will not stand the duration of the fight, and in that case, you'll have 2 very angry wulruses doubling on you for 150, and stunning. DO NOT try to be a hero, even if one of the mobs have 10hp left. ZONE! The zone is 2 feet away, and it is amazing how fast these guys can chew you up and spit you out.
Anyways...
After slowly diminishing the wulruses spawn, you may have a long time to wait. The spawn time is in the area of 20 - 30mins. In that case, take your new found friend to the end of the tunnel, where you will pop out near the 'Well'. Here, is where the Enthrall's hang out. They have more hp, hit harder, and can cast. BUT, unlike the wulruses, carry loot. Commonly a quest gem, and rarely (although that is still not that rare) a decent piece of Netted Kelp.
There should be 2 spawns that hang out by the Well, and one tends to wander. When he is far away from the Well, on his rounds, pull him with a tash and have that /pet attack hotkey rdy. Do the same spells on the mob as you do for the wulruses, and he becomes easier than any other mob. All in all, a great zone. Great for us, seen as every other class simply lacks the power to bring down a mob there. Root bombing would dry up mana, pets here are suicidal, and a mob here can never be solo'd melee'd.
Trust the power of our CHARMS, it can be our best friend. Now I just can't wait for Dictate, and test my power out in Western Wastes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Downside is, I don't think wayback machine links stay reliable over time, but.. it's a start!
I will say, there is not one comment that I've found on this site that disputes charms lasting a few minuets.
If this endeavor does result in a massive charm nerf, to all the enchanters out there this is all I have is this to say about that. |
