So if i'm forced

<p>To root and nuke like a wizard because charm is so incredibly useless, why wouldn't I just role a wizard or a warlock?  I really like the idea of this class with CC and charm, but it seems almost a thing of the distant past.</p><p>Really, how would it be game breaking if charm actually held for its full duration?  Even with the Charm AA maxed and expert spell level, it seems more of a liability than anything.</p>

<p>Some advices:</p><ul><li>Get your hands at a master version of charm. The master version is much stronger then the expert one and it's harder to resist / break. A lower level version @master is better then a higher level version @expert. Higher level versions just extend the max. duration.</li><li>Max out your subjugation skill.</li><li>Get gear with +subjugation.</li><li>If your charme still breaks often put some AAs into dreamweaver's Trance (it's in the wis line in the enchanter tree).</li></ul><p>With this tips your charm should hold mostly for the max duration.</p>

<p>This. I struggled with having charm stay for a long time myself. The charm AA helps, but you really need to have a master level charm before it will last the full duraction with any reliability.</p><p>And as Besual mentioned, having a higher level of charm (i, ii, iii...) just increases the potential duration. its the rank (apprentice, journeyman, adept...) of your charm spell that really matters. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>I've stuck it out a bit and its getting a little easier.  For one, at the time I posted, I was locked at 12 and taking on yellows/oranges.  I've hit 20 and have the master charm on research.</p><p>We'll see how it works in approx. 14 hours. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

You will notice a world of difference. Also master Hostage at levle 23, and put points into it.</p><p>Thats all that needs to be said.</p>

<p>As a raider only I don't even have my charm and mezz spells on my hot bars. Heck, don't even remember the name of the group mezz. War, enjoy where you are now...since at higher levels you are going to find that charm isn't even worth having anymore. Just take a possessed essence pet and let it go at that. So much easier and it never attacks you.</p>
