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

Don't give your pet anything that you can't afford to lose. And prepare yourself to break charm and eat a death in a pinch.

Same advice as for gambling [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My problem is that I am romanticizing the idea that -30MR worth of gear means charm won’t ever break anymore…and I’m going to ultimately be let down

I still haven’t sprung for the adamantite band yet, gonna test out just -20 next session

Just play a different class

Nah only ever been interested in chanter. The entire reason I signed up for p99 years ago was I had this dream where I was playing a chanter in EQ again, and it was an awesome dream

1 bubble from 58, where I really commit by scribing bedlam, biggest purchase I had done

That being said, if anyone wants to give me some sweet alt twink gear I could totally see myself trying that out as well

Let’s keep the options open a little bit

It's anecdotal, but was not impressed by first use of -20 worth of MR gear (was testing this out)

Experienced 4 breaks total in the process of killing about 7 mobs. 2 of the breaks came back to back. This is with 250cha, and the charmed mob to my knowledge not having any already high resists, also being the lowest possible level of blue, I believe max hit of like 124ish

After doing a few more hours using the -mr gear. It seems worthwhile to use. It only takes 2 seconds to strap on, and assuming you know the area and can always protect the pet, I noticed maybe a slight reduction in total breaks, although its hard to know if its placebo without a proper test

I think you're doing great. It's really fun to monitor your progress, see the advice come in, watch you learn and adapt [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Thank you for continuing to update your story. I think you're gonna blast to 60!

Do you have any post 60 plans, or aren't you going to think that far ahead?

Just camp the bands yourself
It's a few hours and you'll still get XP from some of the frogs.
If your going to use pet gear,accept that your going to lose it now and then.
2 bands works,you can easily get -47mr on top of tash with the dagger from chardok.
Very worth it if your reusing a pet over and over,or holding one in a group.

Just keep distance and use toggle target. Pet breaks, toggle back to last target(pet), mez and recharm. No clicking spells/targets needed.

And yes ggr speeds up killing so much without having to back pets up and break.
