I know on my Enchanter, Charm is so utterly useless with 115 Cha I wish I had never bought the spell. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I'm told it's 200 Cha or bust by a lot of people. Right now, I'm lucky if it lasts for fifteen seconds.

Yes, you want as close to 250 as possible on a chanter. If your dealing with planar mobs you also need to have malo in addition to tash to have it last any reliable length of time and preferably a blue con mob with lower magic resists to begin with.

The charm code has recently been tweaked to reduce the reliability of charm for chanters and help a little bit for the other classes that don't generally have high charisma.

This effects druids, necros, shaman and bards.

I specifically want to know about how bards are being affected these days.
