Charmed pets

[DngrMou]

<p>Hello, Necros!</p><p>I've watched other pet charming classes grab some really powerful pets lately, but I can't seem to find any undead anywhere that do much at all.  All time record for my level 80 necro's charmed pet was about 550 dps...until charm broke, and it killed me.  (SoF).  I'm looking for reccomendations for good charmable candidates in various instances....it's plenty hard enough to find groups as a Necro, and any utility I can bring to the table is going help.</p>

<p>Charming a decent pet is difficult and generally not worth it on typical instance runs.   However, it does help solo heroic content.  I grabbed a pet for COA one run when I was running with a scout/ melee heavy group and i was noticing my dps was sucking... so I grabbed a pet (think it was one of the roaming skellies).   He parsed about 2k on best fight but only did 700-800 ZW.  </p><p>Subjugation is important.   I can get mine up to 500 + claymore proc (569 iirc).   With that level of subj I can get pretty much full duration charms in any undead (blue ones in basement the best imo) in KC.   Will get about half-duration charms when I solo Vaults.  The level 80-81's in Seb will occasionally last 10 min or more but anything white con or above is generally unreliable.  However, there is a couple names you can take down easily with the charm pet in seb (tainted souls? i think).   If you have the patience, you can solo the top floor of Sebellis with one of the charmed pets but you'll be at the mercy of RNG and random breaks. </p><p>My favorite pets are the roaming skellies in Vaults.   They do respectable DPS and when you trigger TH you'll see 10k heals <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  </p><p>There are some insane pets in Guk (for a short period you could charm the assassins which could one-shot the boss of the zone... but for some reason they made them uncharmable >&lt<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.    For some reason a coercer can lock these down whereas I cannot... even with comparable subjugation.     Plaque of flies (dot that tics for 17k each tic) FTW!</p><p>I wish our charm was a bit more reliable especially against yellow cons.    It's bad enough being outparsed by the coercers but seeing them lock down a pet that's superior to the mythical necro pet in every way sucks. </p><p>If you're soloing the SOF I like the zombies that stun.   The second tower has 2-3 extra zombies so you can charm one and still activate the tower script.   I dont do it for the dps but do it for the stuns.   Practically no pet healing required when you are rocking one of those. </p>

<p>Enoa, you rock.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  thanks for the detailed answer!  I'm off to check my subjugation, and see what sort of trouble I can keep my Necro out of.</p>
