Bishop/Priest at Bosses - Hardest wroker?

So far as being a bishop...bossing is easy Just stand around an heal, and i wouldn't take crap from an attacker, i dont think any bishop/priest should.

Bishops also need to keep track of their party members to ensure they're actually healing them, and they're not goofing off away from the party. Plenty of times I've had idiots climb up to the platform and are sitting there not getting healed. It's sad, but I have to actively tell them they won't get healed if they're up there.

They also need to maintain buffs. It's not like you can cast Bless, MW, and such at the beginning and it'll last through the whole thing. Then there's the idiots who get out of range again. Then there's the buffs with cool downs like Holy Shield (and Infinity, even if that is just for yourself). Then there is your summon if you're using it, and that thing doesn't have a timer in the corner to let you know when you need to recast.

Then there's Res, and the complications related to it. I know I've died at least once trying to hammer out the details of a party shift, because I got 1/1 and bumped while typing something. The worst part is that no one should even die at all during these sort of things, but due to lag, and stupid chat related crap like I just said, it still happens and still needs to be taken care of.

Then there is attacking. Not a requisite, but I'd feel as though I wasn't doing my job if I didn't help all that I could. I don't see how a Bishop could sit back and spam Heal while Zakum is bobbing there doing nothing, and think that they're giving their all.

It takes more diligence to do all that than what other classes do. Other classes need to spam attack, watch their HP/MP, and maybe one or two party buffs. Bishops have two things to spam (heal or attack, depending on the situation), watch their own HP/MP as well as their party members' HP, and make sure multiple buffs remain active (or in the case of HS, ensure that they're active at the right times).

That said, bossing as a Bishop "can" be easy, but those are the Bishops who aren't doing their full duty to the party.

Just take out the word priest because there are quite afew people who organise runs that are big papaya because they don't allow priests because they don't have revive. Well, thats how it is in Broa.

It's to be expected... There are plenty of Bishops who can do the job and do it better, so why would they be interested in someone less qualified.

It'd be like asking them to take a Hermit instead of a Nightlord. It'll only happen if the person has good connections. If this 3rd jobber thinks it's unfair, they have a very simple choice: get higher level to get the wanted skills.
