Enchanter charm isn't classic, we all know this

I get that EQ knowledge has increased as have faster, more stable internet connections. And many folks want the conversation to end there (and they are mad!). But what I'm interested in knowing is where the p99 mechanics came from -- how did they arrive at the resist checks and what not they currently use?

And it's interesting:. Enchanter Charm is really the only thing people are complaining about right now, in terms of class mechanics.

Theres currently no other spell/spells that people have identified as not being "classically spirited." Yet it is being complained about, and quite frequently so, meaning there is a standout level of class-power that MANY people have identified. This has been surmised for YEARS now.

The launch of Green/Teal has only cemented this suspicion as we're now witnessing completely ungeared Enchanters Charming with nearly the same efficacy of a 255CHA Chanter on Blue.

Anecdotally speaking, I just watched a lvl 18 Chanter sit in the CB Throne Room last night Charm soloing. He had an Orc Emissary charmed and it lasted effectively the FULLEST duration EVERY TIME he charmed it.

So the defensive arguments are as follows:


1) it was always like this, just nobody in the first two to three YEARS of EverQuest figured it out.
2) it was always like this, just nobody in the first two to three YEARS of EverQuest was "skilled enough" to pull it off
3) it was always like this, just nobody in the first two to three YEARS of EverQuest discussed their discovery of this extremely overpowered mechanic
