So 5/6 mez resists (discounting 2 self-mez attempts) and 2/2 charm resists (granted, could be level, I was interrupted by at least one stunning kick). Also Gimpster and Daldaen both thought the MR was wrong before my previous thread was locked:

My last few experiences with those wolves showed they held charm about as well as I'd imagine once Tash and Malosini were on.

Now the unfortunate thing about these guys as pets is their level range. Meaning they range from 52-56. Only the 52-53 versions are charmable and the 56 version is immune to your AE mez.

It is entirely possible the spawn set we got on beta up was 1 level 55 and 3 level 56s. Unfortunately I think they all share the same max hit so the only way to confirm this was to have a level 54 player con them ( all mobs blue to them are charmable ) or you can use a 53 (white/blue charmable and red immune to mez). Apparently tracking by con on a ranger also sorts by level within con colors, so theoretically a ranger could tag the lowest wolf on track and he should be a viable charm target most of the time.

I'll get on tonight and poke around. I think I have a level 53 alt beta copied somewhere.

Daldaen and Speedi helped me out with some DRUPOWER. Daldaen picked out the low level ones with his wizard to make sure there were no level issues, but they are still consistently more resistant than L52 Kunark mobs.

• Charm was straight up resisted about 50% of the time, L52s in HS south or Sebilis will resist charm maybe 5% of the time
• Mez/Slow were resisted about 30-40% of the time compared to ~10%
• Charm durations were not that terrible though

Personal opinion: they resist about the same as a Kunark mob 2 levels higher.

So yea, they aren't immune like your initial assumptions, however they are a tad more resistant than they should be.

Maybe a 10-15% reduction in MR would yield the expected resistance level for these NPCs?
