Date Posted: 2/21 9:00am Subject: First try with new Minstrel charm on live servers (not good)
Me: Level 38 minstrel on nimue.
I log in Lyonesse and head over to Cornwall and charm a grey Cornwall hunter.
I target a green boogey and tell my pet to attack (I have my sword and shield equipped).
The pet draws it's bow, seems about to fire, then, before firing, it draws its bow again. I guess due to spell pulses? This happens two more times, and eventually the targetted boogie wanders in and aggros my pet.
My pet it taking a lot of damage, so I step in and beat the green boogey down.
I find another green boogey, tell my pet to attack it, then switch my target back to my pet. This time, it actually pulls the boogey with its bow. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not.
I release the pet and it attacks me immediately. After a quick beat down, I head to Snowdonia to try charming some Arawnites.
I charm an Arawnite shameness (level 36 I think it said) by the lake shore, and she buffs me with four or five melee buffs, including AC, STR, CON, and haste.
After about 1 min (while I'm still looking at the buffs), she resists a charm pulse, the buffs drop, and starts to cast on me. Since I have her targeted, she is recharmed instantly, and she starts to buff me again.
After putting on two buffs, they drop and the shameness starts to redo the buffs. This repeats in an infinite loop for about 2 minutes before I run and release her.
Close by, there is a Arawnite warrior. I charm him (level 34), and send him to attack my ex-pet (the shamaness). The warrior wins easily, due I suppose to the 2 hand axe it's using hehe. I only use 1 shout on the shamaness, and only because I want the battle to end quickly.
While the pet is medding, an orange warrior (39+) pops and aggros my pet. My 34 pet is getting clobbered and I run off and release it.
I head to a different camp and am looking for another potential pet, when I am attacked by the orange warrior I left (about 2 min earlier!). I sprint and barely make it to the guards, who kill the mob. Why he chased me down, I'm not sure. I was quite a ways out of aggro range (so I thought).
After medding, I head back to the shore where I expect the level 34 warrior ex pet to be. I see him quite a ways off, still a bit hurt...and sprinting towards me. I am very far out of his aggro range, yet here he comes 
I recharm him, and sit to asess this for a couple of minutes. During this, he resists charm twice (I'm level 38, maxed instruments, he's 34), but is easily rechamed (I think he only hit me once).
Pushing my luck, I head to the camp with the warriors and headhunters. A patroling headhunter aggros me and I stand still so it can hit me. My pet attacks, hits, and still the headhunter is attacking me (I have not damaged it at all).
I stay still for a few seconds more, while the headhunter attacks me and my pet attacks the headhunter. Eventually, I'm at half health, the headhunter has 15% of it's health gone, and it still attacks ME.
I stun and sprint to the guards, and camp out, sortof dissappointed.
Oh well, that's my 2 cents worth. Anyone have a better experience with it?
