PoG animal charm (druid)

[Silvurwolf]

yes, i know. druids shouldn't kill stuff in Plane of Growth.

I am just testing my limits as a druid and i dont need faction anymore, just wondering why "a gale wolf" isn't considered an animal, or "a glade stalker" either for that matter.

The wiki says a gale wolf is a wolf, and a glade stalker is a bear. I havent seen any other mobs listed as an animal that i can't charm so it seems unique to this zone, any reason other than to prevent druids from charming them?

Those mobs should be flagged as animals. I'm fairly sure they are in fact.

Are you sure you weren't just having level cap issues on your charm?

[Silvurwolf]

yes, i am sure. They are listed as level 51. druids can charm up to level 53 and even if they are above level cap it just resists.

I am getting a message that says this spell only works on animals. I am not even able to cast.

Pretty sure rogues could pickpocket from pog mobs and you can't pick from animals so this makes sense to me.

[Tupakk]

They should be if your using the right spell. Nice little guide here with names and drops

from your guide...

Put bards in your caster groups to dispel silence (many boss mobs with this AoE affecting your casters/healers (clicky heals still work though)

DALD.....is that a change from later that you could click things while silenced????

[Silvurwolf]

it seems they should indeed be flagged as animals (i see a listing of dire charm for gale wolf for the website you mentioned thank you).

I am also 100% sure i am using the right spell (call of karana), i can't even glamour of tunare them.

[Tupakk]

Resisted or says no?

[Erati]

if it says "this only works on animals" it means the mob isnt flagged as such

you wont even fire the spell off to see a resist message, the spell gem just wont press

this is what is happening.

[Xeras]

They are animals, but there are old comments on Allakhazam (2002) that say they are immune to charm (at least in the case of a gale wolf).

This has been my experience, as well.

Ele, I summon you!

ice burrowers are animals- fun fact

If a burrower procs on a mob does it hit you too when charmed??

[Erati]

Ice burrowers are too high for druids to charm here, but you can use IVA to sneak by them ( think goblin ring )

Maybe post this in bug forums? Might get a dev's attention faster. It's clearly a bug.

Try charming fire crocs near the firepot room in timorous. Wont work on them either

Now I wish we could charm them...they might look like giant floppy noodles, but they'd be pretty bad-ass!

[Silvurwolf]

I wasn't sure if this was a bug or not.

Can this be moved to bug forum, or do I need to have substantial proof and create a new post there? Thanks
