I vividly remember charm being too unreliable to use, and people raging at enchanters for trying to use it in our groups. This is also why everyone fawned over the Magician pet. Nothing came close to it... P99 is not classic at all when it comes to charm...

Do you think it’s possible you experienced this because enchanters (just like everyone else in 1999) didn’t fully understand the mechanics like we do today?

Most people were likely:
Not maxing charisma (OP said they were but he wasn’t an enchanter)
Charming too high of levels mobs
Were not focusing or -mr spells and gear

If you skip any of those on p99 you’re going to have a bad time.

There is strong truth to this. Unless you had someone take you under their wing or you decided to visit castersrealm.com, you learned your class through trial and error. I remember having to check Allakazam for the list my spells as well learning what they did.

Yeah honestly the biggest things I remember as far as actual gameplay mechanics go was that 1. So many people didn’t bother debuffing a mob’s MR...and then they’d try and Charm and naturally that wasn’t a great idea, and 2. For awhile people had no idea that one of the saving rolls for Charm was level difference...I remember being in groups where people wanted the charmed pet to be the highest level the ench could get the spell to stick on! Lol

We have 10+ pages of people saying "it's the -MR and Cha gear" ... and yet when it comes to Druids it's crickets.
