That is certainly possible. I'll admit that I haven't really got round to working on the problem properly. This is partially because, as I mentioned, you definitely do want to keep mob MR low in order to handle the charm breaks smoothly. But this is something to keep in mind for future study.

The test comparing durations for the orc pawn versus the EJ skeleton is interesting. I would expect that a 46-level difference would completely saturate any level-dependent effect, but a 10-12 level difference I would have expected to be small enough to show an impact if there was one. I'm happy to volunteer two hours supporting further testing with either a 60 druid or 55 cleric.

One possibility that occurred to me is that level difference is factored in an exponential manner, such that small level differences have an appreciable effect, but beyond 10 levels or so it has shrunk to a vanishingly small level.

If you're happy spending several hours doing nothing other than staring at a mob waiting for it to break, drop Feressa a tell in the game. But it is pretty boring [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
