Lv. 14 v. 24 Druid charms

[kjs86zskidoo]

For druid you just want to look at 3 things: mana cost, casting time, and max level mob.

So in your instance, you're looking at 70 mana / 4 seconds vs. 120 mana / 5 seconds.

Absolutely use Befriend Animal until the mobs you're fighting are too high level, then you're forced to go up to Charm Animals.

Same as the jump from charm to beguile at level 34. Only use beguile when charm stops working.

The only exception to this rule is when you finally get Call of Karana at 52. Same mana cost as Allure, but takes 5 seconds instead of 9 to cast. No brainer to use immediately at 52.

Charisma won’t affect druid/shaman/nec charms (or is believed not to).

Try charming slightly lower level mobs or proc a tash stick on them before charming.
