P99 Enchanter Strike

[Rais]

Charm was never reliable in classic eq. There was hardly ever charmed mobs on raids. There was always 1 or 2 enchanters on raids.

Enchanters were also the richest on classic live servers!

I agree with this... I played an ENC in classic heyday. Charm was always a risky proposition.

Don't know how it is on p99, but if it's almost risk free then that's not right. If you charmed in a group it was a pretty big deal. Helped a lot, but it required a lot more of the healer and yourself (attention and reaction wise). Charms broke frequently.

Its probably still better here then in 1999. I can still have a group with two chanters with two pets, and with tash and malo it rarely last less than 1.5 minutes, and frequently over 3 minutes.

Its not a guarenteed max duration anymore boo hoo, still works effectively in a group situation, and thats where you should be anyways. Stop keeping your mana regen to yourself!

i can prob say the reason it was not reliable in classic was that no ench thought to max out cha and tash + malo the mob. We know so much more because this is an 11 yo game. i don't know why everyone is crying about how all the pet classes are so OP. im sure if we knew back then what we now know EQ would have been different back in 1999.
