A thing I love from Maple Story is how pot-friendly it is. What annoys me of games like Ragnarok Online, is that if you start playing on an official server and have no funds, you will have one hell of a time making your pots last you. You won't enjoy your skills because you worry too much about MP, and often have to stop grinding to sit and auto recover hp/mp. It's boring, it sucks.
In Maple I know that if I play a job and get a new skill, I can spam that skill forever, even just for fun, because pots aren't a big issue. They even made it easier for newcomers in Big Bang, making everything drop pots en masse.
And to be honest, change all of that just to make Bishop's healing decent is not a good idea at all. Don't change the game so it adjusts to Bishops, instead change Bishops to fit the game. For example, if everyone pots already and doesn't need heal, give us a buff that doubles pot healing effects on all party members. Give us good party buffs like Hyper Body, Sharp Eyes, Combat Orders, and whatnot. THOSE are good party skills. Our prime is Holy Symbol, which currently benefits others more than ourselves. It should be 200% for self and 150% for party.
Finally, I agree on bosses with 1/1 + Seduce + Zombify being ridiculous. Might as well give them a skill that casts sudden death. But if that's Nexon's way of rolling, how about giving Bishops the ability to combat those evil boss skills? Like a party skill that when casted, if a party members' hp reaches below 10%, it will automatically fully heal that party member, then it needs to be recasted again. Give it a few secs cooldown. Or give us a skill that can cure seduced people if you cast it standing close to them. Holy Hand or something fancy like that. Also make Heal not instantly kill everyone (who hasn't 30k hp) on Zombify. Instead just make it damage people on a % of hp each heal.
There are many ways to fix things without taking away our benefit to pot. Though I'll admit that pot-cooldown at bosses makes it fun being a Bishop. Cause it's one of the few parts of the game when people actually need you for something besides being a mule.
Yep they do. The idea is just to further buff Chain Lightning on single targets, while keeping the splash damage the same.
