The "Bishop Ult vs. AM Ult" thread

Give me a pineappleing break, Priests are not enslaved, that would imply they don't get anything out of it. I wish I could leech 3 jobs then get the best mob skill in the game while still being wanted on boss runs. Seriously, stop with the whole "OMG BISHOPZ HAV IT HARD QQ" bullpumpernickel.

No one said that. All that was said was that if they couldn't attack in 4th job, THEN they'd have a hard time. Leeching through 3rd job can be fast, but leeching through 4th would be so slow that Bishops would probably just quit playing and then there'd be no one to heal, dispel, and resurrect at bosses.

SR can still beat Explosion because Explosion's hideously slow, most F/Ps training there were using Mist for the majority of the damage.

Explosion is stronger in every department than SR. It being slower is irrelevant, because it still does higher DPS. And it's not like it takes a few seconds longer than SR to cast, it takes a fraction of a second longer, and at the same time, hits a great deal harder.

The reason FP's used Mist is because Mist allows for EVEN GREATER DPS. The DPS on Mist is limited only by the amount of monsters on the map and the map layout. SR and Explosion can only hit 6 monsters at once for an absolute max damage, but Mist can be damaging the entire map of Grims at once. Mist is also effective because the player doesn't need to stop and fight, they just walk around, drop a mist, kill off the dead monsters from the last cycle, and keep going. I tell you, that's a whole lot easier than having to stop at each platform and slowly where down a few grims by casting SR like 10 times.

So yeah, to sum up: Explosion is higher DPS than SR, and FPs use Mist instead of Explosion because Mist is EVEN STRONGER, not because Explosion is weak (although, as an aside, Ice Strike IS stronger DPS than Explosion).
