People still comment charm is bad in groups.

It depends on the group, especially in vanilla and new server.

Charmed pets only increase exp if there enough mobs around to keep the killing going. If you clear your area and have a charmed pet you are adding lots of risk and difficulty for very little gain.

Sometimes folks don't want the best exp per time...they want the easiest exp...so there have been times when I've sighed playing my cleric when I wanted to chill while playing and a chanter shows up that needs to be baby sat b/c they are likely to die on every charm break. Pretty much changes the laid back easy watch youtube group into a headache.

But, yah...chanters that don't charm usually are crappy.
