CHARMING AND MEZZING

[ithaqua]

A hasted mountain pooka absolutely destroyed stuff in GoD and there were pretty good pets in PoP too, as long as command of druzzil (or their dru/nec/mag equivalents) could land they added some serious dps.
Charming got nerfed hard in OoW though, capped charm pet damage to 200-300 from their normal melee hits of 1k-1.3k

ah yes maybe that is the patch im thinking off unless there were multiple charm nerfs over that period from luclin to god. like i said my memory of then isn't 100%.

I just know charm dueling mobs in chardok turned out to be a super fast way to go from 50-60 during velious. on our server, chardok was a ghost town with everyone off trying to figure out those frozen dwarves, giants and dragons.

It’s the only charm nerf that i remember, the other changes that i know of were minor and more of a buff.
Pets forgot how to break mezzes and you had to do some minor direct damage to mobs to get exp at some point, was solved nicely with those pottery ceramic bands with the clicky lv1 nukes. Aa’s and focus effects added some real convenience to charming too with total domination aa for less breaks and instacast rune and faster casting for when it eventually broke )
Charm is OP on p99 but it was OP on live too

Was quite funny that 65 warriors with full defensive Aa and ornate+ armour were struggling to survive against xp mobs even with defensive so people used charm pets instead. VI decided the mobs dps was only an issue when charmed 🙃

GoD was a nice xpac to go back to once overlevelled/geared. Iirc oow tier 1 and lvl 70 was almost sufficient?
