Considering they're hitting me at level 54 for 100+, haste it and the DPS is nothing to laugh at. Ten druids/rangers charming a level 40 mob with a permanent, no-risk charm, even if the level 40 mob only did 50 DPS, that's 500 additional DPS... nothing to casually dismiss.
Yeah, they will hit you - a PLAYER - for that amount, but they will come nowhere close to that against a mob like Sev. Moreover, don't you realize that bosses AoE Fear (which pets can not resist, certainly not these animal pets anyway) AND there is specifically a limit to how many pets are allowed to attack bosses?

First you're telling us the stuff you could charm would be too low level, then you're challenging us to find any animal mobs to charm in high-end content where this would be relevant, so I did so.
One mob in Emerald Jungle does make a "high-end grouping zone", which was the exact statement I used and, as I just described above and in other recent posts, my original statement that Charm Animal would be irrelevant in the hardest areas of the game remains completely true.

You want to *fix* EQ and make it what it should have been? Fine. Why don't you start by removing class-based XP penalties so every class is on the same equal footing (which Sony/Verant later did in Velious after they discovered the huge gap between hybrid and melee classes they had originally designed to warrant such a penalty never manifested itself). And then, IN EVERY CASE, make it more advantageous from an XP perspective to fill up a group with players than it is to XP solo, thus motivating people to... you know... group and work together.
I completely agree with all of these things. Where did I ever say that I didn't? Such a thing is exactly what I want in the game. Thank you for mentioning this because it is definitely very important.
