. Gives a great opportunity to whip out Earthcaller or some Word of Whatevers.

Meant to say Earthshaker obviously.

Why does that bard pet instantly pull aggro after re-charming? If that was a mage pet the aggro does not go back to the pet like it is that charm pet.

I also noticed "Damn, Bards have to recharm like crazy..."

Yea unfortunately the higher level bard charm sucks. It only lasts 3 ticks and costs mana.

The lower level one lasts 4 ticks, and costs no mana, which makes bards probably the best dungeon soloer from 27-51 if you're good but unfortunately most miss out on all this and just swarm. Having your chant dots rolling while swapping targets for charm drops the mobs insanely fast.

When charm fades its an aggro wipe. Think hes juggling between mobs.

Lol P99 enchanter charm literally never breaks early

It will always last until the exact end of the spell duration even if tash fades

Get fucked, sub-par classes. I didn’t pay real $$ to Nilbog for power to have your class compete

That's completely fucked. Mages are currently hamstrung by this mechanic not working like that. When a mage pet dies the mage gets ALL of the aggro that the mage pet built.

It's a totally different mechanic and works the same for all charm classes. When you charm a mob it wipes his memory. When the charm breaks the Bard has a single point of threat, but that's it - no additional threat nor any of the damage dealt by/to that pet is remembered.

Bard charming is usually done by swapping back and forth between two mobs, using this mechanic. IE:

Charm pet 1
Dot up pet 2
On break of pet 1 (which has only one point of aggro on bard), charm pet 2
Dot up pet 1

If a bard has to keep the same pet for some reason (ie trying to kill a named that he cannot charm), then the bard has to either kite the named, not use dots/slows on the named, or use his threat drop song to remove his threat
