[1.2.381] The Wind

...and so is just about every other super funded classes...bishops included. Bishop? Good party skills. Super funded bishop? Party skills and a nice damage output increase, what's not to like?

Post-jump Paladins are almost the same as pre-jump, with the only real damage differences being advanced charge going from 600% to 700% I play KMS and parties invite me for Combat Orders alone (they scream it at me every 10 seconds, actually), just as players invite Bishops for their party buffs. :l

Bishop damage doesn't increase nearly as much as other attacking classes. And even with increased damage, their attack speed remains on the low end (this is talking now versus post-jump where they attack faster).

And if your parties are like that post-jump in KMS, they're doing it wrong or you're doing it wrong then. Paladins always had respectable damage provided they fight elemental weak monsters.
