I posted this in the kunark spells area. I will repost here:

I am by no means one of those who will whip out the spreadsheet. I was seeing what felt about 25% resist rates and i do not remember it that high. I know its that "I remember" game but i got numbers that are still way too high in my opinion.
My unscientific test:
Got a high level player to root a dark blue pirate in Firiona Vie. I proceeded to cast a series of songs over and over on the mob and count the casts until resist. Then counted how many resists in a row. Then proceeded to count over again upon successfull lands. Here are my numbers.

I am only looking to start the conversation... however if we are looking at this high of a level... time to reroll because these numbers seem way to high. No instruments were used that affected these songs. I have 117 Charisma at the time of the test.
Can i get someone to run numbers and confirm? I know its a small sample.
Again... the key is the first number is successful casts and the second is how many resists. As soon as i got a success i would start over.

I was a lvl 30 bard casting on a generic dark blue pirate in Firiona Vie. I hope my layout makes sense. Bard songs i believe had lower resists than mages or similar casters due to the very short duration along with the fact that Charisma helps offensive spells land. I am unaware of any stat that made say wizard spells land better outside of lures. I have absolutely no clue how bard songs are coded in comparison of other castable classes.
Last night while grouped i seemed to have a bit more resists but mostly used benificial spells. The SK in our group as a tank however struggled big time.
P.S. the sheer volume of bard gear being sold in EC is awesome... keep dropping in price.... cmon big money no whammies!
