Generally that is wise yes.

You charm a Griffawn and attack a 2nd Griffawn.

Always keep the mob your pet is fighting rooted (at lower levels you can snare since root duration isn't great). When your pet is low on health (less than 10%), invis yourself. The reason you want to do this is two fold.

1. If you let your pet kill your target, it will yield 50% less EXP because your pet did most of the damage. However once you break charm, the damage done doesn't count, assuming you didn't cast on it, it is as if no one has done any damage to either mob.
2. Building on the above, you have two mobs now at 10% or less that haven't been hurt by anyone. With two quick nukes you can get full EXP on both mobs.

Sometimes fights aren't even and you will have to break your pet early or just suffer that 50% exp hit, if you charmed a higher level mob and it destroys your target. Conversely if your target is getting destroyed it is wise to break charm, kill your pet then find a new pet to fight the mob that beat up your previous pet (keep in mind this mob is still chasing you around while all of this is happening).


When you charm something and attack a non-charm able (see animal) mob, you run the risk of more uneven fights and if your pet gets beat up early you can't charm that mob you attacked to replace it, you have to find a new animal to fight the non-animal.

@ Falkun - mostly that is due to CH BP. I'm curious how many of those duos were done without CH BPs. Atleast those involving clerics.
