I played a mage on live for a long time. During pop i really started using pet canni a lot. I crunched numbers and built all my aa's around it. I got up to around 200 mana per tick while actively cannying. I could chaincast dd's on all mobs, even with cain pulls. It was glorious!
But me and the other mages that I spoke to went a long way towards keeping this a secret. The times someone posted guides on the boards they sometimes got pressured to delete it. The nerf-bat was real. I have tried to find evidence of pet canni today, and havent found any. Not that i'm good at searching...
My point is that the nerf-bat was real for chanters too. I have no doubt lots of chanters were charming their asses off, but why would they share it outside their guild? Things were nerfed all the time.
