Completely wrong.

FD removed charm from any pet. And yea this bug is slightly annoying. You can't bail on a charm fight anymore without risking yourself by dismissing your pet before casting FD.

It also makes charm killing too easy for necros (w/ high charsima, but that's another story) since you can just charm and FD any agro onto your new pet.

negative played a necro in 99

i could charm frenzy fd and clear room repeat this was live

whats not classic are necro pets, a 49 necro pet with fine steel daggers was a monster. Was live for over a year. Mage pets were not as buffed as they are here. I think mage pets should be revered to live, Hell on live mage pets didn double attack or dw for 6 months. Yes played release. yes this was an issue

the delay on fine steal was in

hell giving your newb pet a 2 hander pre 20 would up its dmg considerably and has no effect here

quit the qq

necro charm and fd is fine

NECRO, By Richaard (1/28/2001)

There are a couple of things you can do to break charm. Cast Feign Death, Gather Shadows, or Hide. Any 3 of those should break charm. There should be a way to cancel out charm as normal. I personally dont understand why Verant forces you to wait untill spell runs it's course when you should be in control of the mob.



Edit : When they are at it... Devs should fix the trick that allow you to click the 'go away button' to break charm just before you finish casting your charm spell.

What about "pet go away"? That's how chanters do it, you just click the button.

Not for long.

If I recall, FD would break a charm, if you were FD for like 2 minutes. I cannot remember exactly at what point in the timeline it worked like this. For that matter, you lost all pets if you were FD for too long. I will research it more and see what I can put together.

Thanks for the clarification.
