I know it's not classic, but...

Yeah it's tough to compare a fungi + tstaff + CoF fully buffed monk to essentially a naked enchanter. That level of twinking sub-50 is just going to destroy everything. I'm honestly not sure DPS wise how it would compare. I'm fairly confident that a fully kitted/buffed rogue charm pet is still going to clown even a twinked monk. Regular warrior mob charm? Maybe not? Not really sure. Charm DPS overtakes even the most twinked melees at a certain point but it's debatable exactly where that point is. It also sounds like you aren't hasting or giving your pets weapons. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing when soloing if your goal is to get both mobs low and break charm/nuke method. But it certainly isn't the most optimal way to do the most DPS with charms. In a group setting with weapons and haste the damage will be considerably different.

I mean ok, I know you can give the charmed pet a torch or w/e and haste it, but honestly that never really appealed to me for leveling for a couple reasons:

1. I don’t like dying
2. You have to give up 50% exp every kill. I’d rather break it and kill both, or if the target came out way ahead than that’s the new pet
3. Even all tricked out and a higher level, these guys seem to be only able to kill 3ish mobs before they are too low health, unless you want to be berzerking buffing them over and over which gets mana intensive. You can break charm and mez/blur them but that feels kinda awkward, kinda slow (waiting for their health to chunk back up)

I’m sure at near max level there’s some really underconned monster pets you can set up though, but that’s probably more for a fun factor or farming goal than exp
