Anecdotally I can recall being charmed by evil eyes which had an animation pet up.

These suckers are nasty. I have a level 20 necro and they attack me on site... Normally if you hear a "heartbeating" like you're holding your ear to someone's chest, then run unless you can take them. They con black and blue to me but they do some nasty crap.

I was medding and I heard the sound, but I didn't know what it was. I was sprung up by the evil eyes pet which was slashing for around 20-25. I engaged my pet on the eye, knowing it casted spells and hoping to interrupt them. Well it didn't work - the eye cast charm on me and I couldn't resist it. It murdered my pet, and then proceeded to send me in battle against a lion. I was loosing horribly beacuse I'm no melee fighter. After a few moments the charm broke and it cast fear on me and I started running. As I ran it casted insanity warp about 5 or 6 times until it's pet chased me down and killed me. All I can say is, if you're not ready, you will die.

Evil eyes are the funniest beasts in my opinion that I've encountered to date. My buddy (19 wiz) and I (15 Warrior at time) were fighting in W. Karana, beating on Gorge Hounds, when he lured this thing over, he sicked his pet on it, but the evil eye charmed me, my bud, and his pet. We walked around against our will for a few minutes, until my buddy broke the charm. Evil Eye decided what better person to take him out, then me? Eye sent me over, and I did a number against my friend. At this point, I'm begging not to lose hold because I'm in a bad way right now. By the blessing of the gaming gods, I got caught on a tree while following the Eye, and was a good distance when the charm broke. It was time to haul ass out of there. These eyes are dangerous, unless you are strong, fast, or have high resistance to magic, don't mess with em.

Im a level 22 druid and I started killing these at 20. A word of advice, the first few you encounter are cake. Yeah, you'll get the crap kicked out of you and you'll get all freaked -out by what they do to you with those so-called "charms" of thiers. But its all a ruse to get you to take them again and again. I have found its better to solo than group wit these cause they charm you (or members) to attack the party and to heal it. They can also charm pets as well. I was with a level 22 palladin (I was level 21) and I killed my pally by nuking the crap out of him and beating on him whilst he tried his LOH. The next time we aced it really easily. The trick is to have one beat on the pet, while one beats on the eye and have someone who can heal nearby (or blast on the eye). When soloing, buff up and ignore the pet for a few and (as in my case) beat on the eye and blast it whilst it tries casting (sometimes this actually works, They dont have many HPs), then go after the pet. Imagine my dismay after a vicious battle with ones pet and upon killing it, another pet came along to whale on me awhile. But Ive killed 5 of these, 3 soloing, 2 in a group. Ive died once soloing and 6 times in a group. Whats a drag is when you die, you have no idea where you will end up. If you get charmed, and start running for parts unknown with little health, do yerself a favour and just turn of yer computer. You'll save exp as well as the headache of wandering all over the zone shouting "Has anyone seen my corpse???"
