Charm broken badly

[ProteusTielaxi]

<DIV>While charm has great potential, there is a very nasty bug, that will get us killed quickly.</DIV> <DIV>Once a mob is charmed, it gains ALL group buffs. When charm breaks, the mob retains the buffs, including our high MR and mental resists. This gets us killed fast!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This means we must waste time casting dispell, sometimes multiple times to remove these buffs. Even then, it still seems they retain some of them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The other issue is that charmed mobs seem to very rarely use specials. If I charm a caster, I expect it to chain cast. Usually, they just melee..<img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Also, if you dispel the group buffs that the charmed mob gained, after charm wears off, it dispels all the groups buffs as well.

Was this after Today's patch? Because is was supposedly fixed before. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>P.S. --> We do know that they touched the code due to the Patch Notes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <P><STRONG><FONT color=#ffcc00>*** Spells and Combat Arts ***</FONT></STRONG></P> <P>- Charm spells will no longer cause an encounter to break when they wear off.</P></DIV><p>Message Edited by Nerjin on <span class=date_text>05-04-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:29 PM</span>

It was never fixed as far as i know. As soon as I charm a mob while i am grouped with others, it instantly "loses" life. Its actually gaining the priest buffs and getting about 20% more max HP.  As soon as I nuke the former pet the first time it uses the spell ward built into the group buff we have, and it has insane mitigation vs my spells until i debuff it with gloom, despair, and ravaged psyche, and you can watch your ward thing regen every tick even though you werent nuked.  Sometimes i can watch a clerics reactive heal be repeatedly triggered on a former pet as well, I dont know if this is coming from a group reactive heal or something else that happened right before charm broke, but i do know that my former pet isn't a cleric mob when i see this.

Nothing angered me more than dispelling an ex-charmed mob and seeing it dispel some our group's concentration buffs. <div></div>

yeah I don't have experience with this due to my low level but I hope they fix it in the upcoming patch, I also think a longer charm time would be sweet....oh by the way does app1 charm have same time as master 1? like do they keep a monster charmed for same max amount of time?
