No impact? Are you really one to say that current Lukless Bishops will stand losing 600 mil mesos and have to level 10 times more regardless of what happens, Ms. Level 200 who doesn't care? You believe there is no impact and you're choosing to ignore it instead of inspecting the possibilities objectively.
Think back to how rare it was to find a Priest to train with before 4th job came out - if you were around back then. Then think back to the increased number of Bishops after 4th job came out - if you were around back then. Then think back to the FURTHERED increase in number of Bishops after Elemental Wands came out.
Take away that factor that caused the last increase. No impact? A cause and effect sequence will be logically followed by the reverse effect if that cause were removed.
Or maybe you didn't know how hard it was to find a Priest back then to train with because you're an I/L and had to solo Gig Vikings. Or maybe you did the occassional Viking party that was oh so dependent on an active Priest HS slave who didn't have the mindset to attack. But maybe you weren't a warrior or a Hermit who relied on a Priest and HS to train effectively. Maybe you didn't have to spam L>HS to Hime or L>Priest to Grims for hours because you had the option to solo and break even at Squids and Vikings. You I/Ls and the other F/P mages trained silly fast and effectively with Poison Mist and Ice Strike while us melee classes were burning pots so fast to the point that we are forced to merchant.
Maybe that's the mindset that drives you to push on these Bishops even more. But please, be kind to us fellow non-mages and give us the option to level fast too with our much needed Bishops so we don't get 2%/hour. Does it really hurt your pride that much that Bishops outdamage you by 700 damage at Skelegons?
You obviously want more people to sympathize with AMs more and promote this fixing of this "glitch." I'm not arguing for Bishops for sake of fairness or balance compared to AMs, I'm arguing against you for sake of everyone else who trains with a Bishop or owns a Bishop, someone NOT like you.
To those who says they don't care right now, just imagine yourself telling yourself later down the line: "I'd be training so much faster now if my Bishop can 1 hit KO. But too bad they can't because these Ele Wands are nerfed because I didn't care. Oh well there are always AMs, but they don't have HS. Even if they kill faster, HS for a party more than 2 still outweighs one AM doing all the damage. I guess I gotta suck this up now."
Eos, you are smart, and I can easily see how you may abuse this intelligence of yours on an issue that would personally benefit you by directing only part of the argument at the ignorant majority. However, you're a bit too conniving to publicly ignore the impact this would have on Bishops and the rest of the training community, or perhaps not ignore, but to push this in a direction to benefit AMs that you want it to at the cost of others.
