I find all charm animal spells to be horible, I have CHA 150 unbuffed and it lasts so little time u have to constantly keep re-charming your pet. I find once a pet goes bad it goes bad sooner and more often so might as well kill it and find a new one. I only use this spell as a temporary solution to a multiple pull, if no enc in group. It also lets me know what buffs are on the mob incase we need to dispell something bad. But I would never use this to hunt and rely on, only dire charm should be trusted for that. Plus you can buff up a DC pet.
