People keep saying that slow exp is equally as challenging as fast exp, and that grinding takes no skill. This is nonsense. I have a level 60 Bard on blue99. With blue99's exp I killed literally tens of thousands of NPC's, so I have a lot of practice. This has helped me on red99 since most NPC's are actually more challenging than red players. Red players are a lot less tactical and efficient than NPC's. They also have much less hp usually. This is why I can attack a spectre with another charmed spectre, and it's usually a pretty even fight, but if I use a charmed spectre against a red player, they become confused and usually die without much effort. NPC's also have better spelling and grammar than red players which implies that they're smarter.

can confirm hearing about this noob using charmed spectres to engage in pvp, as server best bard I had many hearty laughs at this. Bad players are bad, can't excuse em for it - just praise the spiroc lord for them.

As risky as 12 second charmed pets are (especially if you get rooted/snared/mezzed or are up against multiple people) they're very effective against solo players in outdoor zones, especially shitty ones. See here:

Good luck getting any solo non-pve kills against people as a Bard without the dps of a charmed pet.
