Totally this. It is sad when a whole branch of the magician tier gets reduced to "HSers". He is totally right about bishops losing their name to the only priest's skill that matters when training. The problem I see with bishops is that their Shine ONLY when they are bossing, but Bossing in MS isn't something to fully dedicate to (and the few that dedicate to this dont choose to be bishops anyway), out of the bosing ground Bishops can still be helpful as buffers but their abilities are not as essential other than Holy Simbol. So they cannot be attackers and they aren't necessary for other buffs either, that only leaves left HS as their main purpose and even HS isn't good enough to grant them enough EXP to lvl anywhere close to the rest of the party members. This turns into demotivation, which kills any fun, which turns into boredom hich turns them into mules.
Concerning the Bishop changes, I hope Nexon realizes they still have a lot to do. I would like to see a few changes, for example:
-Increase Shinning ray dmg from 200 to 300% x 3. Angel Ray dmg from 900 to 1200% (I certainly don't know how big of a boost they would need to finally be able to be considered as attackers but angel ray and shinning ray definitely need a boost)
-A new animation for Angel's ray (FOR GODS SAKE CAN'T ANYONE ELSE SEE IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS AN ARCHER SHOOTING A SOUL ARROW WITH THE CTR KEY?, It would make a lot more sense if it looked like evan's magic flare).
-Make doom work on bosses with a big cooldown, (work for 40 seconds every 10 mins?),
-Making HS grant the priest/Bishop 200% exp bonus above the 150% it gives to everyone else. (as someone above said)
-Increase advanced bless buffs (only a few points above regular bless wont make it any indispensable unless both bless and advanced bless can stack together)
-Maybe compensating the lack of DoT in Holy Big bang by taking out the charge up.
Or just pull 20 SP out of somewhere and give them a transformation skill that boosts all their abilities (attacks and buffs) by 30% for a period of time? That would be cool. These are all suggestions so sure I can be wrong, what is not is the conclusion that bishops still need changes.
