No one will solo Brother Z without strong clickies. Even with strong clickies... I don't think any pets live long enough to Donal's BP them reliably. Magic immune means no slow and slow is what trivializes EQ. Charm is a close second.

Brother Z duo with strong clicky is doable. I think I've done with 3 and Brother Q with 2. I think both are doable with 2 probably, but the pets in South Karana are far superior to those in Rathe Mountains.

I also want to try a trio of Kazen Fecae + the subsequent Necro epic chain some time. Would be pretty intense consider Kazen hits for 1k, and the other Necro epic guy is aggro linked requiring kiting.

Curious to what you charm in SK for qwinn? one of the centaur merchants?

There's two bard NPCs.

Kelkim Menkia (51 Bard Epic NPC)
Baenar Swiftsong (50 Bard NPC)

The former summons but is a total beast. Just weaponize both, and 2 clerics to CH, and you're set. (Though breaks are extremely scary, and that's why you have DA and CH Sky Necks). When we duo'd it the fight always burned 90-100% of our mana then we had to use 1 or 2 charges from CH Necks. You really need a CH landing every 10-15 seconds or you will lose a pet.

Basically when I'm doing a solo with Puppet Strings, I will usually do a quick search on the wiki and figure out what 45-51 NPCs are in zone and test the MR of them with root/snare to figure out viability as a pet. There are a few 51 NPCs that are absolutely beastly pets that most people don't think about because they are quest NPCs. The problem however is that you cannot kill them and loot pet gear you gave them.

Bard Epic NPC in Lake Rathetear I also used to solo the 3-mob chain for Twisted Bone Earring/Necro Epic crap on my Druid a few times. <3 epic NPCs.

How did you get haste on the pet as a druid? Are there casters nearby that will buff the pet before you charm it?

Note: Target Type = Pet. Not Animal.

This spell + shield of blades make Druids an extremely powerful wielder of the puppet strings. Shamans with their haste / Torpor and a cleric with a Donals are also extremely potent puppet strings handlers.

I didn't realize that Druid spell worked for charmed pets. Very nice

Sham has it made with strings bc of malosini and charisma buff too.

I'm pretty confident charm checks class of caster, not class of spell.

In other words, CHA doesn't affect a druid or shaman's string charm duration.

Malosini on the other hand is a fantastic addition to strings. That being said, when you're stringing level 51 and below mobs, unless its a really MR one, your run of the mill base-stat mob wont break too terribly much and if they do you usually have 9 more charges to go through.

As Eratani said, I really want to duo Ragefire with 2 druids, but I don't have the desire to sock it for 20 hours to do that. Just for the lols of saying two druids killed ragefire.
