Hey Beatdrop....
The reason why your charm did not stick was the fact that you were still
grouped with the Magician. When grouped all spells and effects that are
harmful to your group members does not hit. I know for a fact that charm
works. Heck I used it on my bride to be two patches after the PvP charm
patch and it worked without a problem. If this is not the case then my
bride will spank this poor bard when we duel this coming Saturday...

We were the same level (29) and I said what the hell. He had a fire elemental pet that was blue to me so I decided that the only way I would stand a chance would be to try to charm him into fighting his pet. Well, let me just say that I thought charm was only nerfed on the PvP servers and NOT in PvP mode. Wrong! So I start the duel with the thought of charming him. Hit the song, and wait, and wait, and wait... no pulse! WTF? So I try charming his pet that is now attacking me. Resist, resist, (thinking cool, its pulsing, gonna work), charm sticks but no charm! Instead I got a message saying 'This NPC cannot be charmed.' Dammit! NOOO! Meanwhile, I am getting the hell nuked out of me while trying to figure out what to do next. So I die. I pop back up and my opponents health bar is down (still grouped) and I hear 'Beat, Demi is getting the sh*t kicked out of him.' Come to find out, after looting my corpse, that after I died, his pet agro'd on him. Strange charm bug is what I am assuming.

My new tactic is just like how I would fight a wizzie, below him to death. His pet wasn't hitting to hard and I think I can solo his pet by melee and songs. So, I think I can take him by just staying on his butt and keeping his spells interrupted.
