Once PoP came out I did a lot more charming. Critters in PoP seemed to do lot more damage, and have more hit points and that made a big difference. We would do 3 man groups: 2 chanters and 1 cleric, and kill that centaur looking boss in PoN. You had to use two chanters so that when one charm broke, the target would stay on the other pet. At that time, clerics could CHeal those pets for a ton because they had way more hitpoints than a player, which made CHeal really really efficient and effective.
I think the big change with PoP was that most critters did a ton of damage compared to pre-PoP stuff. Or maybe it was the bump in hit points that PoP critters got. I mean, I don't recall anyone ever using charmed giants to tank Vindi for example. Of course, Vindi isn't slowable and I think that big centaur lookin' guy was.
