The entire resist system on p99 is wrong and easymode compared to Classic Everquest

All non-damage spells are supposed to resist 3% of the time at minimum, except Tash, and it's 11% of the time at minimum if you're not 11 levels higher than the target. This also applies to tick saves (although I slightly misspoke earlier, as it's a 50% chance for Charm to check for the tick save, although it's 6% minimum chance of resist for Charm tick saves, so still the same 3% minimum for the best case scenario).

Best case scenario with Charm is going to be that it breaks every 2.2 minutes on average and then 6% of the time on every charm break you will get a resist on either your stun or mez. Then on top of that, root will not be a guaranteed hold on the target you're trying to kill and most worthwhile targets will be resisting your spells at an 11% minimum rate, and if they summon you might be interrupted on even trying to cast your stun/mez, since channeling should fail more often.
