Hmm, good to know. Still, it doesn't change the strategy of
hitting charm over and over on the off chance that the charm
will expire if you're trying to stop kill stealing. The range
is pretty big (my new fetch song :-), so you can back off far
enough that when the charm expires, you can recharm before
either mob can reach you. This is obviously not viable in
dungeons.

I was wondering what happens if your pet does 99% of the
damage, then dies. Do you get the kill, or the person who
delivers the final 1%?
