Simple Mind Control question

When I successfully cast Mind Control on an enemy in PvP and it breaks prior to the 10second duration, what stat reduces the possibility that the spell will break early? Is it either spell penetration or spell hit. I am pretty sure it is penetration, but I would like to confirm before I purchase several gems. Thanks.

Spell penetration only lowers resistance buffs. As in, if your target is buffed with

, and you have

, it would make their total shadow resistance drop to 50. Only situationally useful, and not what you need for mind control.
Spell hit is what you're looking for. There is one resist check when you first cast the spell, if the target resists at that point the MC just fails. However even if the MC goes off sucessfully, there are more resist checks every few seconds (every 5, as far as I've read). If the target resists any of those checks, the MC will break.
There are other reasons that MC will break early in PvP as well, trinkets and distance mainly. Nothing you can really do about that part.

Great to hear. I have a couple spell hit pvp gems already, so you just saved me some gold :) thanks.
