Very true. As a matter of fact, there was a Necro who was kiting the
spectres all around the lake, to the consternation of the orc highway
hunters. This same necro charmed a spectre that we were fear-kiting. He
then proceeded to run away. Eventually the charm broke and we fought it,
but it wasn't until after I looked through my logs and sent him a tell that
he apologized and said it was an accident. I wasn't too impressed and it
didn't surprise me that a little later he sent a shout to the entire zone
to help pull some spectres off of him.
