Some kind of Bishop revamp

Im not sure I can 100% co-sign the bolded part.

The fact Nexon introduced Vengeance of the Angel shows that they are aware that many bishops feel as you do. They are aware that some bishes want to attack and kick ass like the rest of us. The fact that the skill was added leads me to believe that this skill being added will not be the last thing Nexon does to try and get battle bishops a bit more into the mainstream.

here is the skill if you have not seen it:

Vengeance of Angel: The pure rage of the angels takes you over, giving you 50 magic attack, 20% defense ignore, increasing your attack speed by 1, Angel Ray’s damage by 20%, and Angel Ray’s attack count by 1. Toggle skill. You can only use Teleport and Angel Ray when this skill is active. [required level: 150]

animation:

in saying that, battle bishops post-Vengeance of the Angel wont be in a terrible spot. As a matter of fact, with so much free crit, I reckon people like ThatWasMyKil will be putting all other mages to shame.

I do like the idea of casting a debuff to make enemies weaker to a certain element I think that is very neat and you have something cool there.

Im not so sure about the bless and adv bless change though. It leads me to believe a situation of "Its really crappy(if the priest is poor) or its insanely broken(if you have ThatWasMyKil giving you a slice of his 250% main stat range through bless)." will often occur. Since most people feel as you do (bishops are for parking on ropes and auto-casting HS), I feel the former situation will be predominant over the latter.



Im glad that you're taking an interest in this kind of thing and encourage you to try some more changes, see where your mind takes you.

Oh yeah, I'm not done with this. I'll definitely be working more on this thread after I get my work for today finished. I'll probably be able to post more later tonight.

Oh yeah. The bless change makes it so a funded bishop can train any new character he wants without ever having to worry about not ohkoing constantly.

Yeah, I've been trying to think of a formula that'd take the Job and delay of the skills into account.
