NPC Charm Priority

[bulbousaur]

The devs on live admitted that for years the enchanter mobs were able to charm player characters far above the level that they should have and they finally fixed it. I recall being charmed by GREEN sirens and the frustration with something I should have resisted easily.

Pending update,

Enchanter class npcs will now actively charm players.


There are additional specifics that will be investigated. For example, I don't believe they are currently able to charm summoned PC pets. This should be possible, and they should keep them. Classically in live, if you lost control of a summoned pet to an npc, the npc retained it indefinitely.

would this block them from casting charm again?

No, it should allow them to keep the pet until they have a new target to charm. At that point, if they landed charm on a new target, their charmed summoned pet would poof and be replaced with the new target. I think npcs considered charmed summon pets just a replacement for their own summoned pet, which could be replaced by another. That's the way I remember it working at least.
