I used deep slumber, which is just the higher lvl superior verison of it that ignores caster level vs mob CR.
Spells that use caster lvl vs mob CR work ok on normal quests usually. But almost never on hard/elite/epic, due to the huge boost in CR monsters get.
Deep slumber will bypass that issue and work on higher difficulties for casters with good DCs.. So not, not a low dc bard. It's still just a regular will save CC spell, you still need a good Dc, and thus charisma to land it.
So while the spell works, and has a decent 1 min duration.. It's nothing too hot to bother speciing for to make it work often. Better CC spells for bards remain the various dance spells. Espeically the orb, and irresistable version.
