Another class question: Bards and Charisma

[Lhancelot]

I have a bad habit of creating tons of alts so I often ask questions about many classes. Well, I decided to mess on a bard now.

My question is, exactly how much impact does charisma have on bard songs?

I have sent random tells to some 60 bards, and one in particular who always has been helpful in the game and seems to be very knowledgeable told me that basically he found absolutely no difference between high charisma and low charisma regarding his lulls, mezzes, etc.

He also stressed that raw hps, sta, resists were best for survivability purposes. Again, he said cha was one of his least worried about stats.

I believe the guy, I just want to hear what other 60 bards have experienced when it comes to lulls and mezzes and their charisma.

Thanks in advance!
