Asking for bard on stormblood patch..

[Rongway]

there will not be a reason for even level 52+ bards to need to hold still in combat.

You should park far enough away from party members that they do not get hit by AoEs targeted at you, but close enough that you are affected by all beneficial party AoEs. If you are not moving to dodge or to handle a mechanic, you should be standing still so that other party members are not forced to deal with mechanics targeted at you, in addition to the mechanics targeted at them.

Wanderer's Minuet and Gauss Barrel were a boon to the rest of the party. Casters and healers the world over will miss them.
