Game Mechanics: Charmed npcs do too much damage

[Splorf22]

Nirgon you rely too much on your memory. Just because you talked to an enchanter who liked to charm green/lb cons is not proof that charm sucked. In fact if you talk to most enchanters here they will only charm lb pets. It's mostly those of us that learned with the (insanely OP) Pre-Kunark charm and then couldn't quite give it up that charm higher-level stuff and figure out ways to make it work. Like when The A-Team charms those splits in Sky, recharming by yourself is basically impossible. You get to run around screaming for help while someone else mezzes them.

Heh tell that to a enchanter friend of mine who soloed the king room in guk. It's not easy but they have the power of a necromancer. Err oh yah this was pre expansion at 49 too.

enchanters are nearly useless too (except for the occasional charm against something like Venril Sathir's guards which RARELY works).

Well I've played both, my enchanter I only took to 40, but my necro went to 50th pre-kunark. From what I saw in my many trips to POF/POH is that the enchanters did a very good job, of charming things (as long as they weren't scarelings ) and I did alright on my necro up there. There were times when I didn't feel I was that useful, but we all contributed to the end result.

So as always some people can do it and some people can't, but the mechanics make it possible.
