Hmm if he was "training" then they were attacking the giants chasing him. I
solo HGs a LOT and I've NEVER dumped a giant on a group. Your pet is doing
ungodly dmg to that giant it's attacking (80-100hp/shot) it's VERY pissed at
you when the charm drops. On top of that your PET is very pissed when charm
drops as well. As a result, unless somone ATTACKS one of the giants you're
working on you aren't going to "Train" anyone when doing this.
