Post ascension Bishop build

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a bishop for a boss run PERIOD? I don't care if they're an attacking bishop or not. Chances are he's going to be one of two MAYBE three bishops tasked with keeping the entire expedition alive. If you want to spend your time attacking don't take it personally when you waste everyone's wheels that you aren't invited to the next run.

So, around 1/6 of every person brought is a bishop. That's a pretty high occurrence considering there are well over a dozen different classes. You're telling me the support role a bishop plays is important. Granted, in fact that's what I count on personally. I agree with you that attempting to attack as a bishop when brought in a support capacity can be a big problem

My argument is that you don't compare a bishop who - for example - flat out didn't put points in dispel, hs, bless, and all other support skills with the other bishop you should be bringing, you compare it with the people whose job it's attempting to do: the other attackers. It's entirely conceivable that someone stubborn could fund a bishop to the point where they outdamage many other attackers. I'm saying in that uncommon case you should assess them as attackers, and only as that.

Its a shame that the concept of many different skill builds has been lost on most people in this game. Bishops can do the job of an attacker, they just have a lower percentage dps multiplier than the top of the dps chart. Which, by the way, you and most other people's classes in this thread probably do too. That's why I said "An attack bishop makes at least as much sense as playing a class that's only useful for damage but doesn't have the best dps compared to other attacking classes."
