This "impact" is in your head.
There will not even be a statistical blip from this fix as far as population goes.
People stopped playing priests because prior to 4th job they had absolutely nothing to offer beyond being someone's HS mule and/or heal slave.
These weapons didn't change that. Genesis did.
Genesis isn't going any where, and being related to 3rd most destructive grinder instead of #1 isn't exactly the end of the world when there are 10 other classes behind you day dreaming about being able to wreak the level of destruction your whiny ass can but isn't satifised with.
Genesis isn't the only thing that changed it. You can't ignore the impact these lukless elemental wands had on the increase in the lukless Bishop community, which is more or less half of the existent Bishop community remaining.
This impact to follow is in my head because there has been no change yet. And you can't prove that there is no impact until (if) this change actually happens.
I laid out to you the facts on the table already: People do make Lukless Bishops solely because of Elemental Wands - I did myself and so did a few of my other friends. I had quit my Priest at 11x. I continued it to a Bishop after I learned about the Elemental Wands. It wasn't because of Genesis alone. It's at level 150 right now and 1 hit KOing Skelosaurus barely (85.4k max damage atm). I wouldn't be bothered to train and level him another 10 times with a Shine Wand because I already can't stand how slow it is that I have to still primarily 2 hit KO.
People will quit because of lack of motivation, slowness on leveling, and being economically crippled. You cannot refute that. I have seen it and it has been proven to me over and over in my 4 years of playing and leading a guild.
