Impact on what? The bucanneers? The Sins/NLs? This is statistically worthless in any sense of the term. SouthPerry has 4000 members or so, and most of these members trickled in/know this forum from OTHER forums, which in turn only encapsulate a minor fraction of the population. There are 40some members reading this right now, and the statistical "high" was recorded to be a whopping 500. This is supposed to be conclusive evidence that no one will care? How many bishops/archmages are on this forum anyways? How many are on Sleepy, or even Basil, HS, or MT? Most bishops will just grind all day anyways, with the same going for archmages. This is a specific issue pertaining to our class, not others. The fact that most people are responding that they don't care alludes to the fact that *gasp*, not everyone is a mage. The breakdown within the community in and of itself would be a far more poignant example of the point brought up in our other discussion that you seek to refute with this parody of statistical evidence, but then again one may never be able to tally the numbers in that respect.

I'd say fixed. They were never supposed to be the way they are now, and you know that if you've ever owned one, so as far as I care, and I AM a bishop, the other bishop players do need to put up or shut up. The mere name of the wands and staffs imply they were more geared towards AMs having the advantage anyway.
A more conclusive air of authority would be "I AM a bishop WITH AN ELE WAND" instead of simply declaring yourself a member of our class. I don't own an ele wand, but their implementation in this version was so poorly thought out that bishops suddenly finding their damage nerfed as a result of a "fix" will find themselves with a justifiable fury over a potential "fix", since the wand didn't even give a bonus before, and certainly didn't tell people that they were getting reductions either.
