So I'm returning after a long time off, as a druid. Before I last retired from EQ, I made it into my 60s around the PoP days, and after months of leveling I was excited to get the Dire Charm AA so I could finally have my own permanent pet that could do something worthwhile (better than the Nature Walker's Behest Pet). So I spent some of my previous few AAs on Dire Charm, and got some use out of it since at the time PoP zones more or less all had at least one animal mob that met the requirements. Now, many years later, I've blown past my 60s and just recently made it to my 80s. Is Dire Charm still usable, or are those AA points now lost to the sand of the time in a skill that really has no use for actual groups and combat?
Like many things put into the game, they put in an ability that had a very short lifespan for usefulness. Besides once they nerfed charm in general I think it ruined any usefulness Dire Charm ever had.
