To save you from having to find out the hard way here are my personal guidelines for charming:

1) Dont aim too high. Better charm something in the lower blue area if you want to keep it for a while. Additionally, if such a pet breaks, it will prolly not kill you so fast.

2) How to charm:
a) Always buff yourself with your charisma buff. Generally get high charisma.
b) Mez (ALWAYS use level 4 spell with short duration)
c) Tash (if somebody can cast malo line, thats a plus)
d) Charm
e) Park pet a few meters away. When it breaks it gives you a bit more time to react.
24 seconds after b) you got your new pet

About pet haste: If you got a very low blue or even green pet, haste really cant hurt much. I usually only use augment on pets, need mana for recharms and CC in a group. Better charm something a bit lower and haste instead of a bit higher without haste. Same damage but way longer charm duration.

And one other advice for chanters level 16+. Always buff your own MR. It's really nice when puller brings mobs too close and you already started your AE mez to resist your own mez [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Self mez sux.

Wow, this is great stuff guys. Far and away better than I was hoping for even. Thanks so much for all the great feedback. Now I just need to pound out a couple more levels to get to 12!

Just to be clear, tash lowers magic resistance, so this is done to ensure your charm hits home correct? Thanks again!

A charmed pet every so often gets another try to break charm. If it has MR lowered this try is more likely to fail, resulting in a longer charm duration. So always keep MR of pet as low as possible. Landing a charm is no problem even without tash, keeping it is the problem.
