Game Mechanics: Game breaking raid issue: Sirran the Lunatic

[Nirgon]

Here's the patch I recall that fixes charm on Sirran and other mobs..

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20000428.html

Corrected a bug with "Song of the Sirens" that caused an unintended level-cap to affect the spell. Bards should now be able to charm everything that they once could with this spell.

This fits the time line matching what I remember. The fact that he is able to be hit with dictate here is very much incorrect and I don't see where anyone posted any evidence anywhere that dictate should land!!

Here's why you don't see it in a patch note IE SoE/Verant policy (see risk and reward):

Though it is not our policy to announce changes to individual NPCs, we did want to let you know that you will see risk/reward disparities corrected over the next several weeks.
