Testing Charmed Pet -MR Gear

[Throndor]

The way it works is level disparity check. If that fails:
-MR check....if that fails
CHA check....

Now, Mykayla of ROI did substantial testing on the effect that CHA has on charming, and essentially came back with the formula that for every 10CHA up to 200 CHA = 1% chance of passing the charisma check in the event where levelcheck and MRCheck fails. CHA from 201-255 has diminishing returns, but its approximated that 255 CHA is equivelent to 25% chance to successfully keep a charm when it would otherwise break. With base CHA hovering around 100 to 120 at the base level for any race combination of chanter, this means that the efficacy of gearing up to 255 will see an increased "resistance to charmbreak" of approximately 225 to 250%, when looking at the equation from the bottom up, considering the completely disregarding 100-120CHA chanter.

Conversely, the difference between 89% chance to break charm on MR and Level fail at 110 CHA, vs the 75% chance to break charm on a MR and Level Fail at 255 CHA = 18.67% increased efficacy in maintaining charms if CHA is maxed vs gearing entirely for HP and INT with gear that does not have CHA on it at all. I wont go into the details of LevelCheck and MRCheck and how that plays into the charmbreak formula because those are static values and they're irrelevant to the formula since the CHA check is a save that is rolled on 100% of the time where MR and LevelDelta fails.

I always use 2 band, shoulders, and a tomb just for good measure and sometimes I feel like the whole -MR thing is a lie lol. There are times when I'll have a mob break charm before my lv.4 mez even wears off of them... multiple time! (how insane right!?).

I always felt CHA accounts for substantially more than 10%. Naked CR's in HS come to mind.

To be fair, a big part of a CR are Lulls, as well, where CHA plays a huge role. So maybe I'm a little biaised.

Im with you man. Lull already sucks at CHA cap, and even more so naked.
