Change to charm?

[Yally]

Hello all, I have been on vacation a while, and uppon my return I noticed that charm was changed to a random durration. That is all I know. So...out of the goodness of someones heart, could they please clarify? Here are some basic questions running through my head...

is there going to be a counter balance so that enchanters can still actually use charm ( as in....an almost insta-root, or a super fast cast on charms so that breaks durring fights can be fixed somehow?) Also, is there a minimum duration in whitch charm is guaranteed to last? What is the max duration? 20 mins? 30? Lastly, will charisma influence duration or only resists?


Thank you so much for your time and I will try to look into this myself if i can, wish me luck :roll:

from my experience:

- max time is about the same it was
- cha really helps
- debuffing your pet is sort of useless since the charm outlasts the debuff (tash) usually
- being able to recharm your pet immediately IMHO offsets the risk factor.
- so far i've NEVER had a charm cast fail (lvl 51, about 200 CHA) and it has never worn off after like 1 or 2 minutes. so im guessing there is a minimum time it lasts

new strategy: sit at a bigger range from your pet & mob it's fighting so you have time to root or even recharm it when it fades.
