still think id rather just have war / enc / cleric and chill the fuck out

get a backstabber and go ham, cleric can do the pulling in that trio...if its ugly just DA to the camp and let the enc clean it up

either way war still better than knights
On what basis? A charmed pet can tank and dps easily. The third melee is there for support and to pull if the ench doesn’t want to.

If the ench doesn’t want to pull, a ranger is great outdoors and snare the pet. Sk or monk indoors. They can split tank.

If the ench wants to pull, a pally can rip pulls into camp, help root, spot LoH the ench. Split tank.

I see a warrior offering very little in a low-man charm pet situation. They lack flexibility for their pure melee combat table, but have no tricks like a monk. If you are exclusively fighting summon mobs they would be a solid pick to keep the ench from getting summoned on a charm break…but you could also just get a second pet class.

Charmed tank is way more tedious and unstable. Ench NEVER pulls, what kinda trios are you running lol. A high functioning war will pull, tank, dps, taunt mez'd mobs, interrupts spells and have an array of clickies and procing weapons. Sounds like you have never played a cleric, ench or war.

I’ve logged hundreds of hours in lower dogs/spiders with my buddy. Ench and cleric duo. Done seb with an ench and me on my cleric. Howling stones with ench pulling. The hole? Yep, that too…same combo. Geos? Yea enchanters can even pull there.

I’ve pulled with my pally in Seb and the Hole with ease. I’d post my Magelos but since I’ve been here since 2011 it’s plausible I’m not just making stuff up. It’s how I know a SK with rest the dead, snare, and FD might be able able to out-pull a warrior who has a bow, or that an ench can pull stuff.

After all that time it never occured to you that chanter shouldn't be pulling?

Generally capable people who pick a CC class want to control situations. Offer all you want, if it’s a stubborn enchanter it’s not going to happen.

At least that’s what AI told me since as you said, I don’t even play these classes. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
