I never said you twisted songs in order to use aoe mez, I said you CAN twist other songs.

you can train a whole zone to a bard and if he knows what he's doing he can keep the entire zone locked down with mezzes (while still twisting a song or two in) if he is competent.

You cannot twist songs and AE mez, the AE mez song does not last long enough to permit that function.

The fact that, 2, or even 4 bards can even contemplate doing something like this indefinitely is still broken at a raid level and nothing like the way it was for classic. NO amount of enchanters could pull off the same thing, and they would only be able to stunlock it for as long as they had mana, which WAS classic.

Lucy and
EQDiva would disagree that it was "not classic". According to Lucy, it was changed from PBAOE to Single on 9/24/2002. Since we are prior to 2002 on our timeline, the song is in line with "classic".

my first post also commented on DPS, which was also completely accurate. charmed dps is the best dps in the game and bards are one of the four classes that can charm. that puts them somewhere near the top of the DPS tier list as long as there are appropriate mobs / pulls for them to charm from.

Bard charm lasts 3 ticks, just like everything else. If you think it is viable for a bard to permanently charm a pet, you are crazy. If the bard or puller grabs an add? Great, charm it, but don't keep 1 spawn locked down because you want to recharm a pet every 18sec. For all intents and purposes, I would not include charm DPS into a bard's "typical" DPS setup, but that is only my opinion as a practicing bard.
