Help a newbie chanter?

[TheFishyOne]

Sorry for the thread necro, but I just wanted to thank Vermicelli for helping my noob rear end out yet again! I've read some of your posts on here, and it's like you're some sort of enchanting goddess (Which makes sense, since you ARE, in fact, a Gnome. =) )

I ultimately ended up using a setup very similar to your's, only I'm 25 now, so no Theft of Thought, aand instead of level 4 Mezz and ToT, I use AoE Mezz, and a slow, since I'm not grouped with a shammy about as often as I am, and when I am, he ain't slowing. =D. What are your thoughts on AoE Mezz? I personally have found it rather useful for when a random brings the almighty wrath of Grand Central Station down on my poor group, and I've only mezzed myself with it once. I'll definetely have to find a place for lvl 4 Mezz, though, to better facilitate charming.

Finally, is there any way to tell whether a dark blue mob is low enough to try charming? I have 196 CHA self buffed, but still have nightmares about constant death by chain charm breakage. =P

I try to keep my reaserch skill current when I can. I recently picked up 8 research spells from 29-39 for 200plat, so I should be good for a while. Thanks for the offer though!
