if charm resisted more intitially and on re-charm even with tash so it took 2-3 casts like a base 100 MR penalty to charm i'd feel better even tho its not coded on the live spell data, it probaly was hardcoded in the client or back end server side for a base 50% chance resist lol on initial charm (not charm break)

It's true charm was not a thing in era. That said, it should have been and I consider the current setup to be more appropriate.

I never saw a bard swarm until PoP either, but I chalk it up to so many people being on broadband with shitty computers playing on inconsistent unreliable game servers as much as anything. Everyone was too risk averse to try high risk/high reward strategies rather than go the safe and slower ways.

I played enchanter to level 12 on rallos zek, anc can confirm that you could charm a person long enough for him to kill his whole group, or his group to kill him, before they nerfed charm in PVP.

So if it worked for that I bet it worked pretty good PVE

I do think the zeks had the highest concentration of high-G skilla gameplay
