He means better damage for half the MP.
Bishops already get all these supporting skills to aid themselves, too. AMs get, what, Medi? +20 MATK, oh I'm so scared! And yes, the staves did help AMs, but only a very little bit.
I'll compare the 163 staves with a Dragon Wand.
D. Wand- ~123
Ele. Staff- 181 (that was the only one I could find)
Thats about 3x Medi? Wow, big boost. If the elemental effect was added, you add a quarter of your MATK to your damage, plus that 3x Medi extra magic attack. and that was a bad staff, too.
However, Bishops can use these wands without penalty, making any advantage null and void.
edit: @Technolink: Yeah, AMP ups power, at 2x the mp. The NLC pots fill the mp gap, but for that much mp and time, Bishops do 2 Genesis spams, so there is still a damage gap. Yes, NL damage could be nerfed, but considering that Nexon handed them a 30 atk star, (albeit a hard to get one) I don't expect it to.
