Charisma - for the lulls!

[Shodo]

So i've been soloing dungeons a lot lately while doing homework, and as a result have had to make obscenely prolific use of soothe. Unfortunately, I get crit resisted around 20-25% of the time. I've read that level is the major component in these resists, but some people have also suggested that carrying some charisma gear might help.
Does anyone know of a magic number one should shoot for to not get a stupid amount of critical resists? Would 20 or 30 extra be enough to see a big impact? I'm currently sitting at 55 charisma as a dwarf paladin, so there's a lot of room for improvement.

55 is horribly low. My troll shaman has more than that unbuffed. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I would try for at least 100-110. Ideally the higher the better.... charisma gear is relatively cheap.

You definitely want 100+...and it's a pain having to switch lots of slots so try to invest in high cha items like a siryn hair hood and a crude stein as a minimum.

Personally I'd reroll a SK and not be subject for a cha check when lulling the dead, and FD when you do get a crit resist [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I actually started one, and may pick it back up at some point. But ultimately I decided to start with the knight I had already put 30 levels and retarded amounts of non-level time into. Have to slim down my alt time for school, heh. Guess i'll just have to buy some charisma gear - at least i'll look prettier while doing my barrel rolls!

CHA plays a small part in lull/charm/resist. It is mostly Your level VS the Targets level + targets MR.

Lots of debates on Lull resists on p99, if its higher than live or not.

I can't say how true this is here and for pali. on live, I played a 50bard with 255 cha and experienced something like 2 resist on a whole ldon dungeon, with frequently not a single agro on the resist. I can't say the impact here, but on live and for bard it had a great impact

I always thought it was level check for resist, then if its resisted it checks cha for the crit resist

hum, I think you're definitely right... now that you talk about it... with 255 resist most of the time did not agro mobs
