You can charm any even or ^ mob of any encounter (well, level-dependent) and your charm will last 45 seconds and will have a 20-second recast.
Um actually we can already charm ^ mobs up to orange I think and have a 8 seconds recast timer. The charm lasts only 36 (?) seconds through.
However while this sounds quite useful, it really isn't in most fights. For soloing it won't work and when you are in a group the added dps doesn't makes up the hassle you have to charm the pet, keep it attacking and deal with the aggro after charm breaks. It is not like in EQ1 were a charmed mob could outdamage everything (and thats understandable).
I personally would rather like to have the illus pet, but all in all I think it their pet and the fixed charm are more or less even. Message Edited by Blubby on 03-02-2005 03:09 AM
If the spell sticks for 36s and you can recast it every 8 seconds, why is there ever a problem for when it breaks? You should have plenty of time to refresh it before it breaks. I fail to understand.
