Does Charisma affect enchanters, Dex - necros?

[beentheredonethat]

Hi guys,

I always was wondering this, but never really got a full understanding. Does Charisma affect enchanter spells, or Dexterity for necro spells? And is there some formula which shows how much it affects it if any?

I've heard people say that there is a benefit, but it's very low. Some have said it's a huge benefit. But I could never really get a good concrete answer on how much does it really matter exactly.

Anyone can advice?

I don't have any statistical info for you, but the other enchanters I've talked to have noticed no noticeable difference in the duration of charm with different amounts of charisma. That being said, myself and other enchanters I know still wear charisma gear while charming. In other situations I wear int or hp gear.

I have no hard data but I think charm works like selling to a vendor. At crappy levels of charisma you get negative modifiers, charm breaks frequently, once you get to a certain minimum level it doesn't have any positive modifier.

Its pretty noticeable on my druid, my base charisma is only like 70. I have to equip some charisma gear to get up to 105 and my charms are a lot more stable. Mob level has a bigger effect than charisma though, whites or mobs that just turned dark blue break a lot more often than lower level blues or light blues.

It does have an impact on your Vampiric Embrace procs and I think plays a factor with melee skill gains.

Dagger time!

If CHA did affect charm on live the difference between 100 CHA and max was too small to notice. It did not affect mez and I dont know about lull.

How I'm reading it (i only glanced at it) is charm makes a periodic check (probably per tick) which does use lvl, mr and cha. See here:

Search for "PassCharismaCheck".

Pretty sure druid and necro charm has nothing to do with cha.

On that note i think dex helps your channeling.

Charisma helps with lull aggro as far as I can tell. I rarely get aggro from calm resists when I have 255 char, and it happens more frequently when not in charisma gear. As for charm, I have no idea how much charisma really helps, yet I still choose it over int/mana gear.

Well I know that CHA has no effect on druid charm. I read that on this forum.

I thought it did with enchanters though. Im surprised this iss till up fer debate? No one knows for sure?

Cha affects charm for chanters. Seems like lull, not 100% sure on lull.
