Charm was this overpowered back when the Guildwars server was running as well. It was great keeping another player permacharmed no matter their magic resist.

Meh charm is fine I just think people know alot more about the game this time around so stackin cha has huge effects no one did that lol. This server is about having a classic experience no about whats balanced if we were worried about balance we'd have to look at the core of the game like rangers not being able to kill light blue cons where as necros can solo all the way to max level lol. Charm is no more broken then that is.

Difference being that rangers sucked in classic and necros owned in classic. Charm was not this powerful in classic. It's not about balance - it's about something being broken.

I think you have it backwards. That's apparently easy to do right now and not much of a challenge. It will be A LOT harder after they fix it (which will finally make it worth trying! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ).

haha nah i understand how it works. you see, i dont wanna put forth the effort of getting my cha to 200. I just want my charm spells to work decently like normal and i can FD and smoke when it fails.

It takes 2kpp to get a full cha set.

Wow I must be doing something wrong then.

In a group yesterday in Guk (with 214 CHA) we decided to get rid of a tashed/charmed Dar pet because it was breaking every few minutes (just like it used to on live).

Can someone let me know the /haxor command for always maximum charm please?

Level of charmer?

I had the opposite experience yesterday. In guk our 45 enchanter maintained a dar pet the full duration every time he charmed it, and he didn't even have full charisma gear (though close). Then, moving to solb, he maintained an LDC pet the full duration every time. LDCs double for 130 + dot. It probably accounted for half the group's total dps. I did 35 in 2 hours and 36 in 2 1/2 hours with a monk's 20% penalty and no cleric. The only risk came every 15 minutes when the enchanter said "ok, need to recharm pet" and the group would help root it while he re-tashed/charmed.

I'm glad a dev finally responded to this absurdity. I was losing the battle convincing myself I didn't need to make another alt just to mess with the absurdity of charm. Now I can fight the urge.

And maybe if the importance of charisma is toned down I can actually solo guk lord again on the necro like we used to be able to do. Well...that is if "guk" mobs ever stop hitting like raid mobs.

I think, if you are going to kill the bard AE.. than make a enchanter worthless as well and .. just change the name of it to crackdealer.. Maybe charm is over powered.. but.. what else do they have?.. honestly? they are like the caster version of a ranger without it.

By this argument we should make one of the rangers moves overpowered to compensate.
