Bishops can attack if they want...it's just silly because the milliseconds could go towards using heal or some other buff to save everyone. Even worse is if you end up setting off damage reflect when we most need res. Attacking is too much of a risk for a bishop in major bossing regardless of what their damage is.
The below pretty much said all that I wanted to say lol.

but training wise, unless i'm soloing 1 map, it annoys me when the bishop only stands on a rope and doesn't even make an effort to do anything. that is what gives the impression that "all bishops are mules"

More than that, I'm still not convinced I'll be using holy magic shell regularly instead of saving it for when the party gets zombified and 1/1d or other such emergencies.
You're probably right. :/ While it doesn't have a long CD like Smokescreen or Party Shield, it does make a lot of sense to use it when we get Zombified or 1/1'd.
So ok... how about this kind of build...
