The power cost was still listed in the description, at least on the level 20 one I used on Test (45 power).You can't use it for backstabbing and stealth attacking, because the NPC is considered your ally while charmed. Cheap Shot is more useful than Bria's for that.They removed the verbiage about our ranged stifle working at all on Epics so it was never intended to work on Epics.The spell in its current form on Test is such a huge letdown from what charm used to be that I have absolutely no desire to continue playing EQ2, let alone EQ2 as a troubador, whatsoever. Trust me; if you enjoyed using charm at all as a Troubador, once you have seen this change for yourself, you will be devastated and not have any illusions at all about this spell being useful. Any game where the designers feel empowered to make this sort of overwhelmingly negative change to a class-defining ability is just not worth playing, let alone paying to play.
