When Big Bang hits I'm going to have to reassign SP on a bishop.
Skill table reference: http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=32673
I have not been able to understand, with all the new and changed skills, just what is going to be useful for training.
Up until now this bishop served mostly as training partner, drop farmer, and occasional door/hs/bless mule. Never went on a major boss run (Zak/HT/CWKPQ/etc) and don't plan on doing so. I also don't train it for its own sake, solo.
Please help me figure out how to assign my SP to keep this bishop as useful as possible.
I assume Magic Armor, Holy Arrow, and Doom, continue to be the most useless first, second, and third job skills, respectively. Right?
I expect this bishop will have about 130 4th job SP to play with when BB hits.
Magic Mastery: 10 SP I assume increased buff duration applies to party buffs as well. Gotta have that 3-minute HS.
Maple Warrior: 20 SP (would do 30 but haven't got the book yet)
Resurrect: 1-5 SP Not planning on boss runs so I don't need it too much, but I want at least 1 point in it.
The attack buff on Infinity looks nice, and I've passed Infinity 30 so I could have it right away, but I think I should first get some consistently powerful attacks, before I spend points for a gradual buff lasting just 40 seconds out of every 180.
Holy Shield can wait, since I don't boss. Unless you tell me that post-BB, all mobs worth training on also cast status effects.
And now I'm stumped. What do post-BB Bishops use to train? Angel Ray? Big Bang (awkward range?)? Bahamut (seems quite powerful, but how often does it attack?)? Genesis (with the other skills acting as filler/lure while it cools down)? Mana Reflection (how hard do mobs hit, post BB, compared to their own HP?)? These total 150 SP and I only have 100 to allocate to them... Advice, please?
