I think you should make sure that they know that they need to queue in as bard, so they can plonk at ice and keep themselves as far away from the enemy as possible to maintain the PvE(P) experience. RP walking to the closest small ice should be encouraged in this build, as well as making sure to delete alliance and party chat from your UI, because they don't pay your sub so you shouldn't have to listen to their mind numbing call outs for "Big Ice", or suggestions to coordinate with your team. Yuck.

This is funny because i play as a Bard and i'm always at the top of the kill list on the new Shatter, because i snipe everyone who only hits Crystal and don't even look at their own HP... i don't even hit crystals at all, i just kill people, i even go after them and hunt them down if i need to, i care not about the crystals, Crystals in that mode are a trap...

Small ice is a lie. There is only big ice. Big ice is a lie. There is only farming battle high at the big ice.

Yes, Bard is quietly awesome right now in Frontline, at least compared to what it was before 6.4. Still not first tier at all really, but quietly good for the team. In CC it's just overshadowed by MCH which is ridiculous right now. Also in CC Red Mage is similar to those two jobs and while not as ridiculous as MCH, you can get more legit kills (i.e. not just timing your shots to score the credit for the kill) with the RDM limit break. So I feel like BRD is just good for the team in Frontlines but in CC it's just not top tier meta, so you will feel the pain when you draw a match with good players, but still fun a lot of the time.
