Only 4 ways to handle CH
- Melee stun (bash/slam) - unreliable with charmed pet

- Mana sieve - unresistable
- DPS through it - since pet ended up with 45% hp, I might try this just to see if it's possible
I chose option 3. I sieved him 7 times. At 50, it's 310 mana drain per sieve, so 2,170 in total. Checked logs and pictures to see what spells he cast.
He attempted to cast 6 spells and only 1 of them was interrupted. None were resisted.
Immobilize on pet (80 mana)
Retribution on pet (240 mana)
Sound of Force on me (120 mana)
Word Divine PBAE (304 mana)
Nullify Magic pet (50 mana)
Nullify (pet interrupts)
After that final nullify attempt I landed my 7th sieve. That means I drained + he spent 2,964 mana. He may have actually had more mana, but after my 7th sieve my pet got in 2-3 more rounds of melee, then he started running before he cast anything else.
I am curious what the mana calculation is for NPCs.
On a side note. I casted Tashania (unresistable) and used the level 24 slow Tepid Deeds (most mana efficient) 5 times and it only landed twice. Never let it wear off. Other than Tash, mana sieve, and slow I cast strengthen once on pet after dispell to keep top buff slots full so charm was less likely to be dispelled.
