Crimsonwood Keep Bonus Drop List

Bishops are a support class. Why do we get a bunch of support skills rather than Meditation.

Meditation is a support skill. As a support class, shouldn't WE have gotten meditation instead? You know... to SUPPORT A/Ms with a slight damage boost. Granted if we really wanted to be a good support, we'd have to be able to use a meditation that gives like 40 or 50 matt at the very least.
I think Bishops got Genesis because it was supposed to be unfair otherwise due to Blizzard and Meteor.

I hope Genesis 30 goes back to 1bil+ meso again. Way to easy to get it now...

Meteo 30 - cheap
blizzard 30- cheap
Gen 30- omfg its too easy to get even though it costs 5x as much as the other two. make it cost like another 5x as much plz.

By the way, support classes are supposed to have GOOD support skills that other classes will always be requesting due to its use. So far (at least coming to mind) I count a whole ONE. Holy symbol. Dispel is over in a corner hiding somewhere, but its there, sorta.

Bless- can be done without

Heal- since when (in a training party) do we see "Why haven't you healed me?" from serious players? Because its not THAT great. Useful at bosses to an extent, but its nothing that others can't take care of themselves.

Holy shield- It sees some use. Key word: some. You don't see anyone complaining at you if you chose not to max this any time soon.

Resurrection- Before you start biting back at me for this one, yes i DO realize how great it is to be able to revive people in this game. But if you're really looking for bishops to be a "support" class, then only being able to use this excellent example of a support once every 30 minutes is a bit of a downer. We may have been the ultimate support at Pink Bean final stage, where ranged characters are practically guaranteed death as of now, if we could resurrect as often as possible or maybe with 1 minute cooldowns (that way people don't get sent back to town).

Better support skills out there:

Hyper body: Survivability is an awesome thing to have especially with the laughable HP that non washed archers and sins end up with. This alone almost makes DKs a better supporting class.

Sharp Eyes: This gives a huge boost to sins and archers. Even Buccaneer's get a great boost from this (though its not as great because we cant abuse it as quickly as sins or archers, but still).


I'm not saying bishops should've gotten either of the above, but I instead would like to point out that a "support class" should be getting some of the best support skills. Go ahead and nerf genesis down to a total of 300 base attack at max, but give me the following party support skills:

1)half mp cost for everyone (AMs would be more than ecstatic to party us)
2)% magical damage reduction or reflection (mana reflection party skill perhaps?
3)Buff that nullifies the next X physical hits with a 10 minute cooldown. Maybe like 2 or 3 hits?
4)+60 or higher matt boost (for boosting AMs)
5)Hyper Regen- Boosts everyone's HP/MP recovery time to like 3-4 second intervals and increases the amount to a respectable size; at the same time, allow for hp regen to work while moving. This is a buff that'd further make us useful while training and people would want us to be there to... get this.... support!

Give me these and a few more and then I'll gladly call my bishop a support class.

I'll leave it at that, if you wish to retort, feel free. But at least realize that my point of view is at least partially correct. Though it wont happen. Bishops will still be called support classes by some even though we don't have the best buffs out there, save for 1 or 2. Besides that, we have pitiful buffs that training parties will almost never ask us for.

Though back on the topic: Why haven't we seen any SSs of E-wand 8 T.T I could really use one for my bishop :3
