Can you imagine how strong a 59 char with a 46 pet is in sebilis, given that the pet will never break? Right.

ps. it also has a -1000 mr resist check.
Dire Charm also:
-Has a 72 minute recast timer! Something goes wrong, your game crashes, you get kicked offline, your pet dies, you get trained... RIP.
-Wasn't infinite duration at release, but did last a few hours then I believe
-Was dispellable. Ouch, a 72 minute recast being dispellable, lol.
-Wasn't anywhere near as good as regular Charm.
-Doesn't seem like people even used it anymore after Luclin, because of the above. Regular Charm was just way too much better.

But you're right, they didn't see that Charm was an issue, which is exactly what the problem was. Seems like when parsing started to get big in the MMO community all of a sudden charmed pet DPS gets cut in half and they start taking up to 33% of the EXP LOL
