The "Bishop Ult vs. AM Ult" thread

The answer is that balance is irrelevant. All things have advantages and disadvantages. But people get butthurt when someone they previously saw as entirely inferior has an advantage over them. "No, Bishop can't be strong, because they are support". Why can't they be strong? Does it hurt you for someone else to be as strong or stronger than you? If they're going to do bad things, it could, but those bad things are against the rules in the first place anyway. The only thing classes being stronger does is help others. People don't peach about NL being broken because it makes boss fights go faster. People shouldn't peach about Mages being strong because it makes them good training partners.

While we're at it lets make Super Onyx Apples that quintuple everyone's damage. It makes the game easier, so why not?

Balance is NOT irrelevant. Maybe it is to Nexon to whom money is the only relevant thing. But not to me and not to people who like this game. I'm not saying that all classes should be exactly the same, just saying that while there are some areas where certain classes beat out others, there's still an amount of fairness between them; and additionally, no class is useless. Ideally CBs and Marksmen would get a boost of some sort to help them be better at something than other classes. Ideally Arch-Mages would train faster than everyone (but not quite as fast as the botting that essentially happens now) but still be somewhat useful at bosses. And ideally HS wouldn't exist, partying in itself would be better exp, and Holy-Mages would have something else nearly as necessary. Ideally defense would be worth a flying defecation.

Also, to the Bishop being support thing; I don't think there's such a thing as support in this game. This game is unique in that if you can take a single hit in an area, you can live for as long as you have the pots to sustain it. Defense was rendered worthless by the weak formula it has combined with the fact that you're invincible for about a second after getting hit. There is no such thing as support in this game because there's nothing that you could possibly need it for. The closest thing is Seduce, where heal is actually necessary or you'll die. So yeah, being that there is no support, I see nothing wrong with Bishops being generally stronger than everyone else at Holy-weak mobs.

P.S. If it wasn't for Onyx Apples NLs wouldn't need to be nerfed.
