I don't know how common active, high level bishops are in your world, but I know at least for our runs, they prefer bishops to be spamming dispel on the statues, and have everyone else attacking; and everyone attacks the bodies, bishops included. All damage is wanted! The more people on the run the better! It's still fun, regardless :3
I have a 191 Phantom and I agree that it is a fun class. I only have about 60k buffed on it, so I'm pretty weak in comparison to my friends that have mained it..that, and I'm not too comfortable bossing on it yet.
They're...mostly extinct and my group can't afford to have a Bishop with less range either because I'm doing triple duty as a buffer, backup crasher and DPSer/healer and my friend helps out with dispelling sometimes. It actually works out better for me if we have fewer people because I'm only using a medium-end laptop to play and it runs smoothly, plus our regular timeslot is so late that most people are asleep.
It's really too bad that Impeccable Memory has a cooldown because a Phantom with lesser range could still provide tons of utility by cycling through skills. Since you have a Bishop you'll be much more handy than Phantoms are currently unless your group has a Bishop and needs a different buff like HB/SE. It's worth a whirl though if you're interested, I still think anyone really looking to enjoy the best of everything without spending too much can do no better than a Phantom!
P/s: My range is only 75k. T_T I estimate I'll be at about 78k by the time I'm at level 200 which is when I'll be aiming for party runs to help me gain some more experience. I also thought initially that I'd make my Bishop my sub-main but that went out the window once I realized I'd still be paying too much for equips to keep anything other than one main.
