Hi. I don't usually post on these sort of things, but I'm wondering if the charm nerf was intentionally as drastic as it was? I remember following the initial thread regarding Druid Charm being broken and that it should last on average around the length of ensnare: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ht=Druid+Charm and you guys seemed to confirm that by the second page.

Since the recent patch, my charm on 'a Vicious Raptor' (level 43-45) as a 54 -55 druid, while using Call of Karana and Glamour of Tunare, has been lucky to last more than a couple minutes, usually breaking every minute or so if not more frequently.

While the only post I was able to find regarding charm being 'too good' was http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=33223 and didn't apply to druid charm.

(druid)Charm Duration before the patch, at least for myself, was certainly not cruise control for exp, and I already was constantly on my toes and playing with the risk of being raped by my pet on a charm break (which happened a little too much in sol B...). I'll look into it more, but mainly I just don't understand what happened and why.

EDIT: also, I recognize it could all just be an unlucky string of RNG. I don't mean to sound whiny and you guys doing an amazing job with this server! Like I said I'll keep looking into it.. I don't get to see or chat with that many other druids at my level to compare the experience with it though

tl;dr Druids became a lot less fun to play [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

PS Did the math in my head so it may be off a little.

PPS all of these are with a 54 druid and a Glamour of Tunare'd Dinus.
