I have died on my 60 necro with AC build to a hasted, torched level 44 pet. It's uncommon but not rare. Sometimes you just get chain interrupted and can't get a single cast off. It's extremely frustrating to watch a mob chew through 2300 HP while every single cast attempt gets interrupted. Have even done the Benny Hill kiting around trying to get FD off, but it's not a short cast.

In classic EverQuest (ie. what this place is trying to recreate) charmers died uncommonly (if not commonly) from
un-torched, un-hasted pets. The idea of giving a charmed pet a weapon and haste would have been crazy to the vast majority of charmers, because (just like you) they didn't want to die.

If anyone doubts that this thread should exist, just use Dolalin's amazing classic evidence search tool,
https://search.eqarchives.org to search for yourself.
If anyone can present evidence that classic charmers were regularly and safely using haste and/or any weapon (I'm not sure the torch trick was universally known back then) then I will buy them beer IRL ... or at least Venmo the money for one.
