Subject: Charming Giants


Got a question for you guys who do alot of Giant charming. I seem to have a
particulary hard time getting them targeted on each other. Any suggestions?

My general charm tactics are as follows:

- find a critter, charm it, fire up selos and start looking for an
opponent
- find an opponent, recharm my pet, re-target the opponent, let my pet
get real close to me and give it the attack order
- Fire selos back up....back off to maximum range..recharm as
necessary, doing big circles around critters if charm is resisted
- when pet is getting low on health, do a health check....helps if you
have critters that run when they are low on health..as the
opponent will run if he is losing
- Either chant kite, fear kite or pull out the weapons and kill the
remaining critter if health is low enough...or find another target and send
my pet back into the fray.

My various problems are:

- my initial charm wears off to soon for my pet to make it to the
target to attack, so I have to redo the entire charm, get close to pet, tell
it to attack etc.
- both critters run at me, the pet is behind the target and the target
keeps running at me instead of turning to fight my pet
- targeting in general. F8 targets the closest hostile, but what if
both are uncharmed?


Any suggestions or do I just need to practice more?
