There are two different types of bard charm. The first one bards get lasts only three ticks and is mana-free. Higher level bard charms cost mana but can last over a minute.
Charm is "supposed" to last on average longer than what people are reporting here. Resist calculations have changed since launch, but given the relatively low resists on most classic mobs, tash plus a level difference generally made charm effective and max-duration charms could at least be seen. Instant breaks were always possible, but an average of less than 30s on anything that isn't extremely magic resistant is simply wrong.
