Calling all Charm Killing Pro's

It is threads like these that remind me as to why so many players are still quite shit at the game, even after hitting lvl50.

Pets take xp when solo and it deals most dmg. Pets dont take this xp when grouped.

Mobs vary in level. The level difference between you and a mob is a big determiner in how long a charm lasts. Mobs also got varying levels of MR. Some got a higher base mr. Some got/get buffs. Charm blue mobs that are as low as you can go.

Damage in EQ is rng. Sometimes you hit nonstop. Sometimes you miss a lot. Mobs do the same thing. Mobs also hit or miss more depending on their lvl and that of the enemy.

And enchanters need room. Solb sucks, because theres no room. Bring a cleric if you go there.

Also, get -mr gear. Rings. Shoulders. Humanoid mobs use em. It helps, a lot. If there is a cleric, give the pet AC buffs.

I dont mean to sound snarky, but if you didnt know all of the above before hitting lvl30 on the chanter you must've used EQ as a distraction instead of a game you actively play. It is all right there. On these forums. The wiki. The chanters ingame that you can ask for info and tips.

It's posts/debates like this that make people play this game 15+ years later. Obsessing about minutiae are all part of classic eq meta.

Ask a question- get some (probably) wrong information, then another guy comes on and confirms the wrong information and even ups the ante (corpses poof !?!) and then when there's evidence to dispute these claims everyone goes full tantrum and tells each other to sheet the fawk up etc. Literally could have found this identical thread 15 years ago on Castersrealm forums. Classic as it gets.

if a duo you still get half xp. half for you and half for partner. pet gets none.

what happens if u get a mob down to 10% with pet, break charm, re-charm same mob, then kill it with pet. is it 50% of the 10% that u need to deal for full xp?

We haven't gotten a clear answer on this one either. Someone mentioned earlier proposing that what you're asking would be accurate. 50% of remaining HP vs total HP.

I'm skeptical on that, so I plan to check it as well. Someone get me a lab coat, I want to feel smert.

This is accurate and my experience with early charm breaks in WL and in Kaladim. But, I was wrong about the "1 point of damage" in a group, so take it with a grain of skepticism [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also, people are kinda being a dick, and OP was kinda being dickish at some replies... But a lot of people are trying to speak with authority and are just flat out wrong, so what do you expect? Answer people's questions not for them but for the many more who will never post and ask, but will google this two months down the line.

I believe it but all the back and forth has gotten me to a place of "just go check everything and document the shitballs out of it or you're gonna have a bad time, mkay?"

I don't wanna have a bad time!

Yep, at this point I don't think anyone (asides from Tecmos) can speak with actual authority/reliability.
