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

Lucy 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".

I'm not saying the song wasn't aoe during classic, i'm saying it was resisted a shitload more than what it is now against mobs lvl 30+ to make it unreliable and dangerous to use on live. which it was

This use to be an AE back around with Luclin came out. Shortly after it was changed to a single target mez, probably because the AE version got alot of resists.

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.

you don't permanently charm a pet. but even if you have a pet charmed only half the time you're going to be outdpsing most classes, charmed dps is
just that good. any bard dps scheme that doesn't incorporate charming is pretty stupid unless there's simply no other way to charm or you are PBAOEing. personally i believe that it should be part of your normal CC routine anyway. 3 mobs into camp: mez one, charm one. 2 mobs into camp: charm one. and so forth.
