51 Enchanter puzzled at the Hole Entrance, need help

[Atroxan]

Hello all. Im trying to solo the hole entrance right now. All I get are resists when I attempt to lull the mobs, which always end in a crit resist and I have to swim to zone. Do I just have an unlucky spawn set where they are all at the highest level, or am I dong something wrong? Thanks in advance

heh, was just able to lull all of them and charm one. Charm broke the very second I landed a Tash on a target. FML

Did you move into wings or genocided basement? I know people who got 60 in basement but at 55 I thought xp per kill got slow. The mobs are 42-46.

I've been wing-curious but the logistics of CRs look painful and you rarely have a cleric in zone.

By 55 you should be clearing the north wing IMO - then if you are a glutten for punishment go into south.

But I prefer seb when the deluge of north wing exp starts slowing due to level.

charisma close to cap to help with crit lull resists? EC tunnel junk can get you to about 200 then self buff takes care of the rest.

charm randomly breaking is.. random, tash, high charisma, and level difference helps make em last longer but can always break early. As long as you have rune/berserker spirit up a few breaks shouldn't be a huge problem, keep a couple aoe stuns memmed just in case.

I have 218 CHA buffed. It was just wild I went for almost an hour of just about every mob resisting my lulls. The number of resists dropped once I was able to kill them off slowly. I was just frustrated because I had very few resists the session before.

Seems like a bad beat on spawns and also bad rolls on paci. I got more paci resist in HS north than hole entrance on my enchanter. Purely anecdotal but sometimes the mobs in this game are fussier than others. Some times a camp I can cruise through no problem without early charm breaks or crit paci resist on a Tuesday becomes a pain in the ass full of lots of breaks and resists on a Wednesday. RNG gonna RNG

Sometimes mob level variance will explain it. It will land easy on the lower level spawns but the higher ones will give you a rough time. Sometimes all the spawns will be higher level.

RNG gonna RNG sometimes. My charms are usually stable on velks spiders and the other day it broke 5 times in a single fight on a watcher that was tashed, with 255cha.

Sometimes when calming it will work first time on 4 mobs and the 5th one will just resist until crit resist for some reason. Crit resists are annoying but at least we have the toolkit to deal with them.

Never went to the hole but I know its a good mage spot so stuff is probably not too resistant but I remember reading rock golems are very magic resistant if not immune in some cases.

I had a similar experience at the hole entrance at 51. I moved to Howling Stones and stayed there until 60.
