Getting past the l37 limit would help a lot. I think that was one of the
more depressing things I found about high level. I didn't realise how
much I'd come to depend on charm to bail out healers and casters from
frenzied mobs until I couldn't use it anymore.

Unfortunately, from that reply from GZ posted a while back, I can't see
that happening. It seems he feels that having our charm last 15 sec
compared to whatever time an enchanter's lasts isn't enough, so he
doesn't want us to be able to charm at high levels. He said it would be
too powerful.
