Robe of Dark Beguilement  

 

actually there ARE far far better robes than this-with the SoV Robes being the first that come to mind. During the last fan faire (i was there if that means anything)the development staff was finally asked the timeless question on the role of Charisma in Mezzes, Charms, and Fears. They responded by pointing out that charisma had an almost neglegable effect on mezzes, and that it had NO effect whatsoever on fears, and that it is barely factored in on each tick on the saving thows for charms. Charming as a form of crowd control is uncommon since most things that need to be "stopped" can be mezzed with "Dazzle" (if 55 or below), "Glamour of Kintaz" (if lvl 57 or below, and "Rapture" (if lvl 59 or below). Anything that cannot be mezzed will most likely be charmed with "Dictate" since it has a fixed duration charm of 45secs and a spell that has NO saving throws that take charisma into accout. The main determining stat on all 3 of these spell types was finally pointed out as being your Level. This robe isnt all that great in that it lacks some of the main stats that enchanters need-Hitpoints, Mana, Agility, and Resists.
