I hate with a capital H using shaman/necro/sk mobs as pets

its one thing when you're 60 and camping nameds for loot...sure...you get that dedicated charm pet going because you need it to get through the named (A4, etc)

but for pure xp? nah. you really dont need to torch or haste at all...just charm a mob, send it into a room of mobs, root em all on top of yours and watch the hp melt

this is why HS is so good...your pets are constantly getting harmtouched which is DPS...without all the butt pucker from a ballistic missile of a pet eating your ass for dinner

I like to feel the power

I even sometimes sit close so I can watch the quad triple digit hits

But one thing some people forget about chanters is you are only as strong as the mobs can get

When I was leveling in Sol A I could charm a goblin and do whatever damage those could do. But a twinkled monk with a tranquil staff could (and would, I saw it) come in there and do much more damage than those goblins. Nothing could hold a candle not only to a twinked monk’s damage but also their ability to solo, killing stuff higher level with fungi tunic

Charmed chanter pets really only got nuts at the very end of the leveling process, before that twinked melees would shit all over my damage, and maybe still can

So when people say chanters are OP, they aren’t all that impressive to me while leveling, compared to twinked other chars that benefit directly from stats and weapon ratios. At the very end game yea, sure tho
