My primary recollection with classic Charm was that the overwhelming majority of Enchanters regarded it as worthless/suicidal and rarely/never used it.

You're right, that WAS the overwhelming majority opinion. However, NONE of those enchanters had 255 charisma. I played an enchanter when that mindset changed, and after that charm was used much more often.

Same story with any of a slew of techniques that have been discovered SINCE classic, that allows classes to be played NON-CLASSICALLY by classic rules.

CHA 255 enchanters should be able to viably charm pets. It should always be hit and miss, and a dangerous proposition, but in a somewhat controlled environment, it shouldn't be an issue.

Ahh an opinion in regards to how CHA effects charm based on personal experience! This is what I was looking for, thank you Hasbin.

I really want to make a DE chanter, because they are the coolest ever [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but I dont want to gimp myself with the CHA thing.

As a chanter I strongly recommend you put all your points into Stamina. It's the only important stat you will not be able to max out via gear (and possibly a self buff) for a long time. For int and charisma, you should be able to hit 200 without much difficulty by the time you hit 50 and that's before Kunark is released.

Agree with guineapig here. I made the mistake of maxing cha at creation and now wish i had done stamina also. Without planes gear and only using self buff though i now have a 255cha, my int only sits at 166. Manapool sucks until i get into planes raids and upgrade gear. Great for charming, but anything other then that your manaool wont support much
