On the other side, you have EVERYONE jumping up for joy about how great it is to have Paladins, Shadowers, etc. being able to help their party.
Quote:If Nexon decided to give cooldown to Bishops, and then give everyone (including Bishops) double damage, would you like that, then?Uh... considering that Genesis is not an across the board "lead by 2x damage", I would say no, and furthermore, I'd say that any instance where the lead is that drastic, that lead is ENTIRELY warranted. And putting an ACTUAL cooldown on Genesis pineapples Bishops because we have NO other viable attack. If we can't cast at least 2 Genesises per 10 seconds, pomegranate would suck balls (compared to the potential 3 Genesises per 10 seconds right now), so a cast time less than 5 seconds would technically not be too horrible (and frankly, it wouldn't slow our killing a whole lot either, due to the nature of waiting for spawn anyway). But ideally, I don't think a nerf is truly necessary. Bishops being so good only helps the other classes, it doesn't hurt them. It's a good thing that Bishops (and Mages, for that matter) are able to deal the kind of damage they do.
And I don't think ANYONE would be upset over Paladins (defensive boost, or maybe even HS or a HP regen), Shadowers (wouldn't be hard to turn Chakra into something worthwhile), and Mages (how about make med add a percent-based amount of Magic so that the skill is not outdone by potions, and heck, make it add mdef while you're at it too) getting their party skills revamped to make them more worthwhile. While you're at it, you could boost Rage, too (see: what Med needs above). The only problem would be if they beef up skills that most people avoided, but all they'd need to do is instate all support skill boosts in a single patch, and when the patch goes live, give all relevant players a free means to reset any/all SP they want.
