Oh yeah, that'd be me.

He only sets me aflame because he loves me.

Did anyone try charming the green-named spiders in pre-searing? I remember reading a few posts about it, but recall the outcomes.

As for Scapes, he's a nice pet too. A bit prone to violence, though.

Lunarhound · Mar 25, 2005, 12:57 AM // 00:57

Do you mean the moss spiders? A friend of mine charmed one this past beta. Very cool. They'd go great with a necromancer/ranger, if anyone were ever inclined to play such a combination.

I don't believe that you can charm any of the insects found in Pre-Searing Ascalon. Besides, the skill is called Charm Animal; last time I checked, insects were not animals

Edit: Scratch that, since it seems from the above post that you can. Doesn't make sense, for the reason above, but whatever floats Arena.net's boat. You just had to post that right before I posted this, didn't you?

Did you actually see the spider as a pet? Because the general consensus is that they were /not/ tameable this past beta.

Hey, but that's useful in PvP, no?

*bites off Aria's right leg* What? I'm hungry.

Yes, it certainly looked like he had one following him around and fighting for him. I'm pretty sure it was a moss spider... It was one of the small ones, that don't drop down from the trees. It was definately a spider, though.

Scaper-X · Mar 25, 2005, 01:04 AM // 01:04

Most interesting.

Perhaps my lizard was tameable as well. Wish I'd tried it Sunday rather than just have gone off of what happened earlier on in the beta.

I'm starting to doubt myself, now.

I wish I'd bothered to take a few screenshots.

Mss Drizzt · Mar 25, 2005, 01:40 AM // 01:40

If he was partied with you then you should know. The spider would have shown up in the party window as part of you group.

Lews · Mar 25, 2005, 01:41 AM // 01:41

Everyone seems to be forgetting the CAT! No, the Lynx is not the cat.

Loviatar · Mar 25, 2005, 01:45 AM // 01:45

whats his names stalker(puma /panther type?) i mentioned that

is there another big cat somewhere?

Scaper-X · Mar 25, 2005, 01:49 AM // 01:49

There's the Lynx (which has additional modifiers) and then there's Melandru's Stalker.

The latter is charmed by all who complete the second ranger quest in Eden.

Not for "charm animal" purposes, but insects are animals. Did you think they were plants? They're specifically members of the kingdom Animalia, phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Uniramia, superclass Hexapoda, class Insecta. Not only are they animals, but they're the largest class of animals.

Epinephrine · Mar 25, 2005, 02:40 AM // 02:40

As an addendum to the above, spiders are not insects either, though they are still animals. They are in fact also arthropods, but diverge after that point falling into the class arachnida (subphylum cheliceriformes), along with scorpions, whip scorpions and ticks for example.

Has anyone actually charmed a bear? I heard they use a Charm Breaker skill or some such.

worthless · Mar 25, 2005, 02:41 AM // 02:41

how do you tame bears and such? or wolves... i always got intterupted... do you have to have high beast mastery?

Scaper-X · Mar 25, 2005, 02:49 AM // 02:49

Unless I'm mistaken, the higher one's Beast Mastery, the less time it takes to charm an animal.

...dependent upon the animal, of course.
