Let us charm mobs to be pets

I love pet classes, my favorite was the Minstrel in DAOC.

The Minstrel could charm mobs, even mobs of a higher level, to be pets. You had to keep a song continuously going to keep the pet charmed. If you wanted to do something else too, you had to "twist" your song with the other thing. A mob higher than you could still sometimes break the charm and attack you. This was great fun!

I used to have a blast charming a tree, and then hiding while in a PvP zone with the tree out. Players coming by would sometimes attack the tree, thinking it was a regular mob, and then I'd jump out. AHA!!! :smile:

ESO's pets are so limited, it would be great if we could charm nearby mobs to use as pets.

    I always wanted the 'young wasp' that 'adopts' you occasionally

    massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of
    mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it. ”

    Tomorrow... Tomorrow does not look good either.

    82. Victory laps after killing the dragon with my 1d2 bow is considered in poor taste.
    83. My gnome does not like big butts and he cannot lie.
    84. Not allowed to talk my fellow inquisitors into buying a 220lb pull crossbow.
    85. Not allowed to talk my fellow inquisitors into buying an industrial strength flamethrower.
    86. Not allowed to make a superhero with a 99% chance of dodging even after the -10 penalty for a successful called shot.
    87. There is no such thing as a dwarven katana.
    88. My bard does not get a bonus to perform if she is obviously not wearing anything under her tabard.
    89. The elf's name is not Legolam.

    I remember the Creature Handler class from SWG years ago. You had to tame the creature then train it for it to be useful. It was a fun class from what I remember. I could go for something like this.

    I would like something like this as well. Maybe a new hunting type skill line or something.

    one thing that would be cool - to allow some (of the more suitable) pets to advance in status, perhaps over time, to be mounts.

    Exactly. Maybe make it a new skill line, or a morph. Finish a questline and get the ability. Or even make it a charm potion that is hard to create.

    I'd put it in the summoning line and make it replace one of the pets the Sorc can already have out.

    It all depends on how it will work.
    I played this other MMO where you also had 3 factions (WvWvW)
    And there players had mirror images, pets and such and pvp was some of the most frustrating I have tried.
    half the time when you killed something it was a pet or a mirror image and you got NO reward from that. Not fun at all.

    That aside, I would not not mind the ability to be able to tame an animal for assistance if it is done in a nice way.
    But that said, for pvp in the game's current state It would probably just cause so much more lag. And lag is not something that we lack in Cyrodiil right now :wink:
