I dont think you are nerfing it quite as you think you are but none the less its an interesting EQy discussion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you want a real charm nerf make a shit ton of mobs commonly found immune to it.
36 second charms would severely constrain Enchanter charm soloing for XP. 36 seconds is not that long in EQ. A lot of pets would require a second cast of charm, which would take a big toll on mana over time. I think in most cases you'd level faster and safer with the animation. Maybe not, though. At least charming would take more skill and be more risky in that case. Right now it's simply a faceroll tactic and trivializes the game.
