[Yttrium]

Quick background. I did standard newbie stuff / grouping 1-35ish, Crushbone -> Unrest -> Mistmoore. Swarmed 35-45. Now I am almost 46 and hit up GD giant charming.

Question 1:
Bard guide recommended Orb of Tishan. I can't figure out how to use it, if I charm and try to whack a giant, he hits me instead of the pet and these guys hit hard. What is the sequence there?

Question 2:
Killing giants is fun and all but its been 20 years since I really did much end game, I guess where do I go from here? What levels can I start to raid, should I be searching for groups for loot or stick to soloing and grinding out exp, any specific factions I should work on etc. Just trying to break into the end game and not sure where to start.

Thanks!
