Interesting idea.  Not sure how exacly I'd use it if it ever went live.  3 second charm and you have to ensure the mob dies in those 3 seconds to get the secondary effect.  Would be tough since while charmed you cannot damage a mob directly.  I suppose you could charm when the mob only has a sliver of health left then hope it can grab and maintain agro and take enough damage to die.  Would be chalenging to use with a 6 second cast. I don't know, what was your vision about how this spell would be used?

<P>no no no, see what I'm saying is this kills anything u cast it on in exactly 3 seconds.</P> <P>U get no loot, no quest reward, and no exp for the kill, but when the mob dies, which it will always do 3 seconds after being charmed by this spell, it does damage to all surrounding encounter mobs equal to a % of its health.</P> <P>You don't kill the mob urself or do anything to damage it after the charm. The charm kills it immediately after 3 seconds. I know this sounds way too powerful but it has no point unless used on a group of mobs and also would be hard to use soloing. What I'm suggesting is using it in group situations for tough encounters. its like a mez for 3 seconds that kills the target and does a good AOE and kills the target.</P> <P>I would also like to see an AOE spell called confusion that causes mobs to target their own teammates for a short duration.</P> <P>Improving the spell increases the chance of it landing and the chance that it will last longer.</P> <P>Basically I am looking for more group friendly spells since charm is so solo oriented currently.</P>

OK I see where you're going.  Yeah I'd use that, but I doubt they'd implement it.  Here's why I think so, If you could explode group mobs and damage the remaining group to 50% hp you could attack a group of 5 explode 2 and it would kill the rest.  You'd be able to wipe big groups of similar mobs in a little over 12 seconds (2 casts).  Would be great but I doubt we'd see it.  We'll sooner see them fix our charm IMHO. Still a creative idea.  Possible it could be tuned to make it not over powered, but I doubt SOE is looking for additional spells right now.  I don't meant to say you shouldn't post ideas.  I'd keep posting any spell ideas you think are cool, who knows you may get lucky and catch a developers eye.

yeah i think it would be a powerful spell as well for group killing, so i added the 300 second recast timer. I think 5 minutes is enuff imo. That would mean maybe once every 3-5 groups perhaps and almost never twice per group in the end unless its a tough long raid and it does not work on heroic mobs. I am sure it needs a ton of tweaking but i was bored and thought of it.

Of course since it's a charm...it would have a chance to break every second with the average lenght of charm being 0 seconds and if you were standing too close...it would hit you as well.  Haha. <div></div>
