Notes

• Upon using this skill, the target animal will immediately become hostile during the skill activation time. If you have high level henchmen with you, they are likely to kill it before you can finish charming the animal.

• This skill doesn't benefit from higher Beast Mastery, making this skill essentially "unlinked". Presumably ANet decided to file it under the Beast Mastery attribute line because it is required for most Beastmastery skills. However, higher ranks in Beast Mastery will benefit the animal once it has been charmed, much like the inherent damage bonus of various weapon mastery attributes.

• For more information on pets, please see Animal companion.

• PvP-only characters who equip Charm Animal will always get an Elder Wolf as their pet when entering combat.

• The only animals you can charm which are automatically hostile are the Wolf and the Black Bear in pre-searing and the Aggressive Lions/Lionesses in Jahai Bluffs.

• Warning! Any Hero will be stuck with the first pet they tame, they can not give the pet up and get another, so think carefully about your hero pet choices and evolution.
