Sorry, fixed it for you. The same could be said for ANY job too stupid to avoid the mechanics. In fact, this is actually more common with classes which can't move as much than it is with those who can. The number of black mages I've seen who absolutely MUST cast that Fire IV spell because they're sitting in their circle and don't want to leave it is insane. And don't even get me started on melee classes who want to keep attacking the boss when they should be running off to deal with adds or other mechanics elsewhere in the arena.

Any player should use the full range of skills given to them, knowing when to dodge and when to deal with boss mechanics regardless of their job. Blaming bards just because they have the benefit of mobility is just people looking for a scapegoat.
