As far as permacharming mobs. Bard spells tend to last 3 tics. If you don't sing anything ut that song then it's sort of permanent. However, charmed mobs always have a chance to break charm every tic. This goes for all types of charm from any class. Basically what you do is don't stop singing the charm song then you might get hit a couple times by the mob but it will eventually come back under your control.

That's how it works on p99. What's the complaint exactly and how should charm normally function to be more classic?

I never managed to charm a mob while it was already charmed on my Live bard since I started it Apr 1999.

Mez yes, charm no. I would have to wait for it to break or use invis and recharm.

Oh sorry, I didn't explain myself well. Currently if you don't interrupt your own charm, it will recast upon breaking. I suppose this means that it breaks more often on p99 than on live, but the functionality is almost the same: you get an "indefinite" charm so long as you don't get stunned or you don't cast another song (or go out of range or something).

Although I do still think they should change it to be more classic, it's certainly no reason to reroll.

Ah, true. I take back what I said. All Bards except me and Mashiro should reroll as rangers.
