Res is useless to us since we can't use it on ourselves. Bless is useless too, 20 def? oh boy! And door? Well it doesn't get me anywhere, I'm always dooring other people but the bishop still has to walk there or scroll there or already be there. And heal is a slight advantage, but it's not major since 80% of the damage goes to your mp if you are training anywhere useful (like skelles who do 3k m atk for my 2k hp). And Holy Symbol? Well that works great, but ONLY in a party, which means that I only benefit if others benefit as well. (Otherwise, 9% increase FTL.)
So when's the last time you trained without a party? If you didn't ahve those party skills like HS do you think as many people would want to party with you?
And I'm pretty sure maxed door lasts long enough to repot, or at least to get to the storage guy in the town. In any case, not having to wait for party members to get to your map is a benefit even if you're not willing to acknowledge it.
I mentioned dispel/heal with respect to boss runs, and because no other class has skills like them (except Drain.. oh look NLs)
I'm level 122 and I have never been in a party with an Archmage/Bishop (spamming ultimates..). I don't want to. They're broken skills and I'm not going to illegitimize my character just to get faster exp. You might say that if I don't like how fast they train, I should just party with them and get the exp too, but that doesn't work for me. I don't feel right leeching from a skill that's not meant to be spammed in the first place.
