What does a crappy chanter do in pvp anyway without charm? Pretend you're level 35, a human in an FBR and mid level gear. How do you smoke that Warrior? Rogue? whoever? What did I do? I mez'd and ran bc there was never enough mana to nuke, much less root and nuke. Might have a chance if I had pet with me but since the chanter pet was so weak, the melee would kill your pet in a few seconds and then you were toast. What's the spell strategy? Sure, I could kill a wizard... pet classes? melee? Let this newb know how you were doing it?

I bet a lot of people agree with you but few are going to follow through beyond the 20s IMO...it's harder to pvp charm than most remember I think. Most of the time it'd last just long enough to wipe the grin off your face and you're back in the "oh shit" mode again.

Here's what I remember even when Charm was enabled, especially if not the initiator of pvp:

You are engulfed in darkness.

SK running at your ass.

"oh shit! time to charm this bastard!"
"I will mez, tash and charm his ass into the deep end of the pool baby!"

WHACK You've been hit for 244 damage.
WHACK You've been hit for 244 damage.

Cast mez
Your spell has been interupted.

WHACK You've been hit for 324 damage.
WHACK You've been hit for 120 damage.

cast mez
Castersmash resists your mez.

WHACK You've been hit for 324 damage.
WHACK You've been hit for 120 damage.

LOADING... please wait.

Not that it happened all the time ..but was often the story. So sometimes when the reflex to say "Charm is OP!" might not be the case. We folded like lawn chairs when anyone resisted anything we did. Sure, there were some badass enchanters out there, I just never ran into any.

Charm was really only highly effective as the initiator of pvp. When attacked, my enchanter was likely toast by any melee class. yes... I was a shitty pvper but I saw a ton of same shittiness chanters fall to the same.

Charming players is going to be downright game-breaking. With that said, I'm all for it.

It didn't break the game for the 2+ years it was enabled. Why now?

The fear bug was the best, when you could fear someone in your level range and have your level 50 friend one shot 'em.

For the 2+ years, the majority of people playing PvP (at least RZ) weren't even PKs let alone people who only play to grief others. But yeah, I'm for charming because I don't play this game for 'fair' PvP on an archaic combat system.
