About Bishop changes:
Blessing Ensemble appears to only affect the Cleric itself, and no one else in the party? It seems like it's designed to make it so random parties for PQs, MP, etc does not punish a Bishop for partying with another Bishop. If it does affect other party members, suddenly it's a wild scramble to find 3 Bishops to constantly party with for +60% exp.
Bishops now provide a lot of support for damage, rather than useless healing that everyone can get from potions 90% of the time. Heal provides a +damage debuff. Big Bang stacks tons of defense ignore. Primary DPS appears to be Big Bang now too. With the way Genesis is set up, I wonder why anyone would want to put more than 1 point into it unlike the other two Mages... hmmmm
As a note, no hypers have been rebalanced, at least none of the Magician Hypers. I would expect these in another patch. I can see Vengeance of Angel allowing Big Bang to be used as well, or removing the restriction entirely.
