You don't have to take a hit if that's what you mean, no. If you are
backing up you can do as follows.

1. recharm pet till it sticks.
2. hit f8 to target closest non-friendly npc.
3. hit hotkey with /pet attack
4. hit accelerando hotkey
5. hit f1 twice to retarget pet

that way the pet will initiate the conflict. The couple of times I tried it
with FM giants it worked 100% of the time. That's how I figured ou it
wasn't an outrunning issue.

Oki, I was afraid of that. Is there anything that can be done? I've
tried chains on the target so the pet can start the combat and have the
target turn around but with the shorter-than-normal durations I'm
getting when charming giants it's hard. I suppose that's my only real
choice tho, yea?
