Charm Animal question

[guineapig]

From what I have heard you should have about 200 charisma to reliably charm on this server.

Haven't tried yet because I just haven't seen the need to charm anything while in exp groups and haven't bothered to purchase the appropriate gear.

As a druid I don't really have any desire to try to charm anything in a group (especially if CHA really makes such a difference on this server). It would just be fun and helpful for soloing, or dicking around farming low level loot.

And it's the principle of the thing! I don't like having spells that are useless [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Half of my class defining abilities are broken in one way or another...

Druid charm needs to wait in line [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i remember charming dire wolves and mammoths with my 55ish druid in WW all the time, had like 80 cha and it would almost always last max duration, i think the cha for charm really only affects chanters on live. not sure if this helps but i remember as a druid cha not mattering at all in terms of my charm. GL hope it gets fixed

Whether it is bugged on this server or not, did Druids ever use charm often in classic? I can't ever remember using it, nor can I remember seeing anyone use it.

[Malrubius]

Yeah, Druids charmed all the time in classic (or at least some did). I have a friend who primarily soloed only in zones that had animals for just this reason.

just something to note. I started charm kiting the dwarfs at BB docks at level 28 as a bard with 163 charisma..as most know these mobs are level 35 and so they were dark red to me. I'd say my charm stuck for full time 50% of the time at that level. the other times it normally stuck for at least a tick or two. It definitely stuck long enough for me to level from 28-35 in a very very short time period.

EDIT: Something else to take into consideration, i died once and was bound at kaladim, decided to run over and try the dwarfs at the docks naked at level 45.. i have 110 base charisma and charm did not stick AT ALL, it would drop after 3-4 seconds if i was lucky. so level 28 with 163 charisma was way better on same exact mob level 45 with 110 charisma. gives you an idea how powerful charisma is.
