Bard - they broke my job

I never said BRD is BLM. My issue is we went from more mobile than them in a reactive sense to less mobile than BLM or SMN in reaction. It's common sense: 20% chance of a free move (Straighter Shot), or 40%+5% (Firestarter + Thundercloud) plus one guaranteed free move on demand per minute (Swiftcast). I'm not directly comparing the playstyles of the two jobs, I understand that BLM has leylines to worry about, and a much more sensitive rotation. But movement is not about the rotation, it is something everyone has to deal with, so comparing movement options for ranged jobs is not moot, the mobility-in-reaction-to-something-happening options are better on other casters (and of course MCH) than on BRD, fact.

All other jobs got to be more what they were before. BRD stayed MP/TP batteries and lost their move-king status.
