I'm sorry, I didn't mean an actual MR buff, I mean an increase to their racial/class magic resistance.

The mobs in this sample are all from howling stones south and east (2 devourers and 1 sepulcher iirc).

Evidence? And please don't say 'Well back in the day I talked to this guy" like you usually do.

Look I believe charm is somewhat overpowered although not insanely so like it was before Kunark here. From a pure balance standpoint a 20% nerf to the average duration isn't unreasonable. But based on what I have read in Xornn's guide, charm here is already weaker than it was on live. I even found quotes of people on live who were charming in the planes before Kunark. Unfortunately it took Verant a while to really understand their game, and the first couple expansions are full of serious balance issues. That's just classic.

I'd be happy to be wrong [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I just don't trust people's feelings when it comes to this is all.
