Charm, viable when?

[Ropethunder]

I tried this the other day when my enchanter reached level 12. With 201 charisma, tashing first, the first dark blue I charmed held for 5 minutes.

After that it seemed completely random of charms breaking < 1 minute, ~1 minute, 2 minutes, a few seconds (on greens). It was so ridiculously inconsistent that I just gave up.

Very disappointing.

wait till you fellas have a lvl 46 pet running round smashing guards and charm dosent break for 15 mins.

I was looking forward to working with charm and was disappointed. I heard I needed cha > 200 so I accumulated pp and got enough gear to push the cha of Thoughtseize to 203:

Stein 15
Rod 12
Veil 9
Rings 14
Bracers 14
Hood 13
Medallion 9
Drake Legs 5
Nobles 5

Even with all this gear charm was useless. Quite disappointing.

This is depressing if true.
