If this is your secondary char or if you have a friend I'd go out and buy
some +cha gear. Right before you charm quickly toss it on and you'll get
lower resists and better times ( well perecentage wise that is ). You can
find some cheap stuff though like trhat mug ogre guyards drop which adds
like 15 cha or something and in general charisma gear is pretty cheap if I
remember correctly. Either way though find what cha items you can. Off the
top of my head I can think of that mug, some cha rings, probably earrings,
bracers, and a veil. There is more I'm just not sure which is what right
now. Heh haven't managed to get my gear but I can tell you from the
shaman/enchanter buffs I get for charisma that my charms do last a lot, I
stree a lot, longer then normal and less resists.
