Bards, jack of all trades and master of none is no longer the right definition for our class. Take out the first part and let the latter stay - Master of None, that's more like it.The Charm song is a RIP OFF, period. 6 minutes re-cast time? At apprentice III the charm breaks after a little over 15 seconds and cannot be used to charm mobs that are 1 or more lvl higher than the caster, nor usable on mobs that have ANY kinds of arrow (single or double) even when the mob cons green. What's more, even if we WERE able to charm a mob, we cannot issue an attack command or else charm breaks...that's not really a charm song to us who are used to Original EQ.I could understand we have no Selo in EQ 2 for game balancing, but at least give us a little better ability to handle multiple mobs situation. If the developers think there's nothing wrong with Charm song breaking in 15 seconds, that's fine - but at least reduce the 6 minutes recasting time to like, 30 seconds? Or fix the song to match its spell description. (I.E. Charm a mob and issue attacking command without breaking the charm and the mob FOLLOWS your attack order). If the reason behind the charm song not able to issue attack commands to pet is about bards using charm song for risk-free solo experience, then let it be this way but change the charm song to a mez song with a reasonable recasting timer.
