I just wanted to also note that the issue with charm apparently does not exist at higher levels as it functions exactly as I remember it on live. This is based upon anecdotal evidence submitted in the discussions by higher level enchanters here on P1999. They are getting full / near full duration charms. (I also was getting very long duration charms in my upper levels with my Enchanter on live.)

So, there's some calculation which is considerably off from where it should be for charm at lower levels. I don't know if this is associated with the spell itself or with the creatures at this level range. I am about to hit lvl 24 and get Beguile (our next spell in the charm line). I'll see how it works compared to my experiences at lvl 12 - 16 when I was trying to charm as I had on live.
