Enchanter - charm questions

Hello,

I'm level 21 at the moment and haven't done much charming yet, mainly because my CHA is relatively low. But, at 20 we got Sympathetic Aura which raises CHA so I've been trying it out. I am fighting only in groups at the moment and had a few questions. Note, I'm trying to keep the same mob charmed right now, not killing them so not sure if that has any bearing on my questions.

1. Does my CHA only matter when I first cast the charm spell? In other words, if my sympathetic aura buff runs out while the mob is charmed, does that affect the charm duration?

2. Since Tashani only lasts 5 minutes max, will it keep them charmed longer if I re-tash after 5 min or is it a one-time thing?

3. How do you know the best weapons to give charmed pets? For instance in Oasis, the orcs have all sorts of weapons so when I charm one, I can give it a sword, club, spear, staff, 2 swords etc. Not sure which combo will inflict the most damage.

Thanks in advance!

1.) I believe charm has periodic CHA checks throughout the duration. So if your CHA buff does fade, you'd want to refresh it.

2.)If tash fades, usually a safe bet just to wait for the next break and re-tash, no need to waste mana breaking too early in most situations.

3.)Weapons generally to force duel wield and for some procs at the highest level. What you use should not effect the damage. There may be an exception to this, I know mage pets can wreck early on with such items as an oggok cleaver with high dmg. I haven't studied this extensively.

I'm not 100% on #1, maybe someone will come into this thread and science the shit outta it. There's a bunch of threads on pet weapons and stuff and getting an optimal setup at the highest level with all the different pet toys. But generally speaking early on you're best off with just torches to force duel wield. Stick with charming as low of blues as possible to get the best possible charm duration. There's a huge -MR set you can build if you're serious about group charming:

2x Adamantite Bands (-20MR)
Rusty Spiked Shoulderpads (-10MR)
Riptide Spear (-5MR)
Tome of the Eternal (-10MR)
Astral Legs/Cloak of the Titans (-10MR)
