The changes that were made mainly have to do with mana. Unless the spells file was updated too, the pulse based mana may not be fully functional. But it should be close.

Bard charm should last a duration of 3 ticks. The buff on the caster wears off at one tick, because I did not change the basic mechanics on how buffs are refreshed, and lacked details on how bard charm totally should work.

The charm should last 3 ticks though. The charm will have to fade before charm can be resung/landed again on the mob. The aggro for bard charm should be totally changed. You should be able to recharm, and charmed mob get aggro back pretty darn fast. I am trying to reproduce the classic bard charm behavior.

The resinging of songs, should no longer give a faded message too.

Those are some of the things I was working on for bards.

I haven't seen a change in the mana song because I still saw the icon, so I didn't think a change had been made, and it no longer works on me, so I wouldn't have been able to tell if any more mana was generated.

The charm changes were spot on, it's exactly how it used to work in Classic (as far as I can tell).

For mana regen, sitting still generates a lot more mana than it should, about 12 mana a tick at lvl 50, when it should be just 2.

I would really like bind sight and mez song to be fixed before we lose that extra 10 mana per tick, if at all possible, so we have some new toys to play with while we lose some other ones.

I appreciate all your work Haynar, it's always best in class!
