Ponied up? There is no denying an army of charmed pets was way overpowered. Honestly, I think people are misremembering a lot of things regarding classic charm. Lots of enchanters didn't even use it, epsecially on raids. Hell, most necromancers and mages weren't allowed to use pets on raids. People were so completely illogical and unreasonable regarding any pets whatsoever on raids, and that continued well into Luclin and maybe beyond. It only takes a few idiots that can't control their shit to make people flip the fuck out and say enough is enough, no more pets.

However, the enchanters I knew that were good at it and knew their shit, were literally gods in classic. I don't know about your server, but on mine the first classes to solo lower guk (king and ghoul lord) in classic were enchanters and necromancers because of charm. In exp groups with a shaman and enc, the exp flowed even well into POP, until they nerfed it.

Making enchanters take it up the ass like this (and that IS what you're doing) is NOT classic. If you want to nerf charm fine, but let's be reasonable about it.... even if it does not fall in line with classic, someone needs to look at the resist checks and tell me it's not completely fucked up. There is a middle ground here that will let enchanters have some of their deserved power and appease the haters at the same time. Let's get there.

Thanks.

An army? How about one enchanter, with one charmed Cleric in hate making or breaking a KS group? Literally doing more DPS than any other group filled with DPS classes. Doesn't take an army, pal.

I don't know how many times it needs to be engraved into your thick skull to realize Enchanters were a utility class. Not a DPS class. The truth of the matter is that the Dev's do their best to recreate a classic experience. This isn't some personal vendetta against your class. They are simply doing what they believe is truthful to classic (which many people, aside from the squeaky wheels complaining, will attest to). If you want to disprove them, work less with "OMG CHARM BROKED AFTER 1.32 SEC AND THE MOB TOUCHED ME IN THE NAUGHTY PLACE" and work more with solid evidence to disprove that the system is currently incorrect.

If you chose to play the class simply for Charming alone, you chose the wrong reasons. Ya'll are bitching quite a bit about the game not being easy any more for you. You came here knowing full well that classic EQ was not, which separated it out from the rest of the MMO's that followed.
