What I find funny is in 2.x, all the good BRD stood still and rarely moved because moving around lost autos, and that was a good chunk of DPS (especially under Barrage. Oh, boy, I do remember BRD who ran around after using that and ugh...so bad).

Only time I remember my static's BRD moving around a lot was when he had to do movement-intensive mechanics (like Renauld duty or that tether in T8); any other time he basically was another caster.
