So I don't really mind nerfs to charm soloing because (lets face it) it was insanely OP if you were even moderately good. Besides, the whole point of EQ is to group and meet and chat up random strangers. And if you have a goblin gazhugi ring and a good supply of mobs you can mostly get around this anyway.
What's more irritating to me is (as pickled says) this is a pretty substantial nerf to enchanters in small groups, since a charmed pet will easily outdps 1 tank + 1 dps class (plus, that dps class now has to be rogue/monk because a mage/necro will just supply another pet. So realistically, if you want to have a charmed pet you need at least 2 monks/rogues in your group. That's kind of uncool).
