Usually it lasts long enough for you to find one other mob and then have the two fight ... which is all you need, because what you want to do is make the charmed pet fight another mob, and then when both are low (<20%) break charm. Two reasons for doing that: 1) you want to kill your former pet for XP, 2) if you don't break charm your pet will take half the XP when you kill the other mob.

I say "usually" because the mob can sometimes resist it early, which is annoying as you then have to re-charm your pet while both it and the other mob are trying to eat you. But that's pretty rare, and the rest of the time charm fighting will be very effective: you can essentially kill two mobs for just the mana it takes to charm one and then maybe a nuke each to finish them off at the end.

Awesome! This is just the description I was needing, thank you for the details!

Yeah, just have an inviz spell up and cast that on you. That drops the Charmed pet. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Not sure if Hide works?

Hide works, but it works inconsistently. Sometimes you'll have two mobs at low health, try to break charm with hide, and it fails, so you have to cast Camouflage instead. By the time Camo finishes one of the mobs is usually dead. You can adjust your timing to account for that, but then you wind up breaking charm earlier, the same as if you didn't use hide (which means the mobs will have more HP when it breaks).

So basically your options are:

• Hide - fast but inconsistent
• Camouflage - slow but consistent
• Goblin Ghazughi Ring - fast and consistent

... which is why the ring is so popular.
