Yeah, it won't work with a player if you do just one charm -
the mob will turn on the player doing the damage eventually.
It *will* work with multiple charms. There's a 2-person
"kiting" method that works similarly. One person with SoW
nukes/taunts a mob to get it mad at him and runs in circles.
The other person stands in the middle and blasts at it.

I've wondered what'll happen then too. I've never tried it
because I'm afraid of Merv instantly whacking the guard
because I'm no longer a valid target and the guard is on his
hate list, and I'll take the faction hit. Tells us what
happens if you do try it. :-)
