Nope, Fansy would pull giants with proxy agro. Then when he'd run over a group or person, the giants would switch targets because of that "proximity" agro. Same deal with undead, unless you had a fair bit of agro, you could train them over anyone in your path.

That's why as a bard, swarm kiting, you'd charm one, and make it attack. Any mob that you haven't casted on (which should be all of them except the charmed one) will turn around and pwn that single charmed mob because of proxy agro. Basically allowing bards to kill mobs like giants, specs, rockhoppers, etc,. extremely fast. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Back in the day, you'd take all 8 specs at one time so you could be the most efficient. It's better to take 2-3 now. I'm finding it even quicker to just avoid charm all together and dot kite. =/
