[COLOR="royalblue"]I just thought I'd give my own opinions on the build that I did. Being 200 already way before Big Bang came out, it was easy for me to just set the points in where I wanted. As for specific guides on what skills to do first/in order, I will just make a simple list in order of importance (in my own opinion). Hope this helps some of you fellow Bishops!

[ Explanation for Unmaxed Skills: ][INDENT] I know many might be asking why I didn't bother to max either Bahamut or Doom, since I know many prefer alternate routes. My explanation/reasoning is this: For Bahamut, I find myself personally rarely ever using him, as well as the fact that Angel Ray, which can do up to THREE hits, has a higher damage rate than Bahamut. I also find that since Big Bang was updated to hitting 6 monsters: 5 times each, the need of one extra attack is pretty useless. If a monster just needs a final attack to kill it, Angel Ray is faster and more powerful to whip out.
As for Doom, I used to have a lot of SP in it pre-Big Bang. However since we now get Holy Focus, the SP is obviously more important/useful to go there. Summon a.k.a "Baby" Dragon is kept at 15 just to satisfy the pre-requisite of Bahamut. And even though I didn't bother to max Bahamut, seeing as how I also found Mana Reflection more practical/used than him, Bahamut is STILL more powerful than Summon Dragon even at level 1.[/INDENT]
[ Ending Thoughts: ][INDENT] I pretty much based my build off what I did back in the day as well as what I think is most efficient for a Bishop today, post Big Bang. I know many of you will probably question my order of placement importance, but there's really nothing I can say. This was just a combination of how I did things back when Clerics, Priests and Bishops were more noted for their "party" builds rather than their "solo'ing" builds. Feel free to switch things up how you see fit and like, because there is no real wrong way to building your character. (Unless you do something pretty idiotic like put AP in STR or the like). ^_~[/INDENT]
I hope this guide helps some of you! Let me know if you have any questions about my particular build, and feel free to make any suggestions!
