Shaman's don't get higher level charms after 34. Druids do. A shaman can never charm in chardok or any other high level zone.

In the 20's and 30's though, they should work about the same. (Edit: VVV Charisma don't matter none VVV)

Not doubting this is true, but how do we know? Is this how it was on live? Someone did tests here? I'm curious.

Shamans also get a lower level charm that druids do. At level 29 you get "befriend animal" which druids get at level 14. At 34 you get "charm animal" which druids get at level 24. I never experimented with it but after reading these posts I kind of wish I had.

Someone who works on code confirmed it.

Here is how I canni-dance:
(others may have a better way of doing it)

Cannibalize is my 3rd spell slot.

Canni macro is my 3rd hotkey and reads as follows:
/cast 3
/pause 25
/sit

I just hit my canni macro, without watching ticks. Sometimes I fizzle, but I have enough time before /sit that I can Alt+3 and cast Canni before I sit even with a fizzle.

Note this time works for Canni 3...YMMV.

Ive been trying to mess with this to get it to work, but so far nothing Yet..Doesnt matter how I write up a macro, my fatass wont sit unless I literally hit the button to sit. Am I doing something wrong?

Why does a shaman need a CoF?

One less Spell to clog up your spell slot. God knows there is never enough slots for a Shaman. It doesn't drop half way between a fight. Helps overcome the Agi, Dex loss on a Fungi. More HP for Canni, I could go on but you get my drift.

Try it with the pause before the cast on the same line. Like this:


/pause 25, /cast 3
/sit
