You don't like being forced to "freeze" to ensure your maximum dps output. I can understand that. But let's be honest, all jobs have "their own burden" : melee need positioning (rear/side) that is trouble on some fights, mages have a cast time that requires no movement for a period of time (on AoE heavy fights, it's a pain).

Bard had no trouble at all; only Bard. And they had / have a secured spot as being the only support job, bringing unique mp/tp regen and more magic damage (before MCH appeared).

Now, you can still dps "on the go", but if you want to optimize your damage, you have your "own" problem to deal with, which is fair in my opinion.
