I've given it the good ol' college try today in EK earlier. Had some mixed success with learning charming, and a lot of fumbles. I kinda wish I had a coach or something to tell me what I'm doing wrong, because I don't feel like I have the technique down. But that said I'm just going to chalk it up to the fact that I'm only level 22 right now, and that the charm spells I get later will actually be far more reliable at later levels. Maybe I will be more receptive to it when my charms aren't breaking a second after I cast the spell on an animal. xD

Once you get that super long snare duration spell (Ensnare?) charming on druid is extremely safe, I would recommend getting some sort of timer thing to watch the duration of it, like n-parse or GINA, I use n-parse. Break your charm (with invis/hide) before snare is up and re-snare/charm. As long as everything is always snared it should be very comfy, just try to avoid charming things that run at SoW speed like griffs, though griffs are probably fine with snare management, too.

Edit: Also as far as I'm aware higher level charm spells DO NOT improve your charm break rates, they just let you charm higher levels, you typically want to use the lowest level charm you can get away with, your level difference to the mob you are charming, and CHA for enchanters(not sure for druids!), and target's magic resist are what change the chance of it breaking early. I would recommend always trying to charm the lowest level mob you can use for what you're doing, Especially since you have a paladin tank to take the hits, a lvl 15 mob will be better than trying to charm a level 20 mob that breaks constantly.
