Not mentioned here was the stealth nerf of gnoll fang drops in Blackburrow, or the nerf of exp for fang turn-ins.

As a 23 chanter, I observe that charm has a much longer duration now. Pre-patch, it was around 2 mins (I toyed a bit with green death beetles in unrest), now it's much more usable. I will try some soloing with that.

The risk of dying when charm breaks can be lowered by rooting the mob you fight AND the mob you use.

Does this server check CHA for Druid charm? If so if your cha is low it should break within 30-60 seconds. I remember on live you need full CHA gear to hold a raptors for approximately 3-5mins. Now I have almost every charm piece you can get currently and it puts me around 175CHA. At the moment quading is more efficient if you have the mana for it 2400+

Can we talk about charm?

How do you guys - the developers - feel about the new change?

It's not mana effecient to hold a charmie in group anymore... breaks every 30 seconds even with 210 CHA. Yes, I had a handful of casts (over 4 hours) that held for 2 min+, but they were so few and far between.

All the fun in playing a chanter is Charm. Currently, as long as I keep haste/clarity up on everyone I might as well just go AFK for 15 minutes until they wear off.

So, what's going on with this? Working As Intended?

Well to keep you on your toes if you want to take the chance to charm i guess. But it is abit wtf when the mob is mala/malo + Tash and charmed with 255 cha to have to break within 5 secs 2-3 times in a row. Yes all you good for now is to buff and afk 15min till you have to redo buffs.

Groups these days handle up to 4-5 mobs at once so not that much need for mezzing. Just alot of rooting. Next i think they go mess up the root to randomly break like charm which was how i believe it was like on live too. I think it is already in, because the roots seem to break early on the higher lvl mobs before timer is up on it. O NO

hate to rain on the chanter parade, but during this era they were not ever considered a ''pet'' class or a ''solo'' class, at end game they were considered group support.

Vendar. Nothing changed with charm between Kunark and Velious. Yet in Velious suddenly people were charm hunting constantly. You know what changed? Peoples knowledge.

I noticed what appears to be a nerf to the exp return from gnoll fang turn-ins as well.
