buff revamp

This would not work as you image. How many people would now have buff mules, like bishops, and refuse to add a real bishop to the party? While it may seem like a good idea, there are probably many ways people would exploit it. I would rather have a party buff range increase for more buffs (like making adv bless have the same range as HS?). Maybe change some of the buffs so they are party buffs?

As someone who has a bishop mule specifically for skipping third job at aliens I know exactly what you mean, but honestly people are going to look at any new system and think "How can I use this to benefit ME?"
