Druid Charm vs Wisdom

[dbparden]

I have a level 20 Halfling Druid all shiny in Crystal Chitin Gear but I am wondering if I should have focused more on charm gear vs wisdom? He is carrying a Crystal Chitin Shield and a Skyfury Scimitar.

I am not sure I will do the kiting thing (solo) but maybe. I mainly duo with a Wizard so I was thinking I would send a pet in to tank/assist the wizzy. Any thoughts?

What do you mean by charm gear? Crystal chitin already has fantastic AC at level 20 for mitigating damage taken during breaks. Add in some hp so you don’t get spiked and you are golden, right?

I have a friend who plays a chanter and I know charm is important for him so I am asking is it something I need to be concerned about as a druid with a charmed pet?

[Jimjam]

I’m still unsure of the definition you are using for ‘charm gear’ in your op.

It’s different for druids than enchanters as druids don’t have a charisma component to their charms.

For my own early druids ‘charm gear’ basically came down to surviving breaks. Managing mana to maintain a decent emergency reservoir felt more like a gameplay thing than gear.

[dbparden]

You are right, I meant items that increase my charisma (my bad). Basically I dont know what I dont know about playing this class.

Will I need a Goblin Gazughi Ring as a Halfling or will I just be able to hide to force a break?

[Jimjam]

Good point on the ring. Massive oversight by me! Thank you for pointing it out.

You’ll never ‘need’ the ring, racial hide sometimes helps, but the ggr helps a lot more on account of being infallible.

It’s a great convenience item, worth having, but your toon won’t be junk without it. At 20 you can do the camp to xp for a couple more levels using a tiger pet. Find a spawnpoint that works best for you and lock it down. Sometimes let the mob run on the spot while snared at low hp if you need to recoup mana. Often enchanters are nearby for c.

Great suggestion, thank you!

Charming as a Druid sucks - I wish you the best of luck
