What's the consensus on how much INT and CHA a soloing Enchanter should shoot for? Is 200ish CHA basically a requirement for charm soloing, INT be damned? If so, are starting points better spent in CHA or INT? It seems like INT would be preferable given the relative abundance and cheapness of +CHA gear. Never played a chanter so I'm curious how to strike the right balance between two such important stats.

Cha is cheap to come by, but when you get into the better gears at higher levels (and I'm not even talking about BCGs or VP gear, just planar and hiero and such), you'll have an abundance of int.
Tecmos is a dark elf, and I put 5 into int at creation, and without insidious robe, sleeves, or gloves (so at least 15 int), and with NO int on ears, robe, belt, shoulders, pants, boots, fingers, offhand, or ranged, I'm still at 197 int selfbuffed.
Looking WAY down the road, it doesn't seem like the great (but not totally super uber) gear in Velious really gives you much more int or charisma than Kunark gear. There is a lot more hp and stam and ac and mp and resists on everything, but not much more int and it actually seems like LESS charisma. So I'd definitely recommend against points into stam at creation, even as an erudite or high elf, unless you're positive you're gonna be decked in the super high-end raid drops. Better off making sure your int and cha are topped off and having the option to swap in pure survivability pieces or whatever.
