Post ascension Bishop build

Well yeah I'm gonna be buffing with whatever buff skills I have. But when I have to make a decision about which skills to get first I'd get the one that increase my DPS the most just like everyone else. If that skill happens to be a party buff skill then great. If not then too bad.



Of course I'm gonna be healing before you die at empress. But if you're gonna let yourself die to save some pots at zak... lol you wouldn't believe the amount of retards out there that believe I should be healing instead of attacking even though my DPS is higher than theirs.

Anyways kinda gone off topic and became a rant. =p
Which skills you get depends on which type of bishop you wish to play. Either one is fine.

The sad truth about Bishops? They don't make a lot of experience on their own. They are a support class, not DPS, meaning they're mostly expected to join parties to make up for their inability to deal damage and solo-train.

Unfortunately, most people are inclined to be selfish and worry about their own experience gains, and leave their party members at wayside. That is against my newest Raison d'être though, meaning I worry more about joining diversified paradigms of parties, equipping my party members with buffs which allow them to kill enemies, mobs, and bosses faster, which in turn, grants everyone more experience. The selfish route leaves everyone hanging, including yourself.

Any Bishop above lv. 140 shouldn't have to worry much about which skill they plan on maxing first. If they're already ascertained a build previous to Ascension, they'll be completely capable of making slight implications and modifications to it post Ascension. I personally am dumping all of my points into Advanced Blessing, Holy Magic Shell, and putting one more point into Angel Ray to top it off. Big Bang seems completely irrelevant when stacked against the newest Angel Ray, so I'm prepared to salvage the ten skill points placed in it at my 12x's.

Also, someone posted a confusing statement in the beginning of this thread about party play areas being removed by Nexon. Shedding some clarity on the topic, I'll note that Nexon isn't removing them, mainly because there was a lot of controversy sparked between them and American/Canadian players. Thus, when you log on post Ascension, intend to see Lion Heart Castle just where you left it. As for the hackers, modifying the spawns within the maps, they're probably still going to be there as well, until Nexon finds a way to patch that little err in Wild Hunter skills.

Edit: @happylight, there's one thing I will agree on with you though, that a lot of people expect Bishops to spam heal, no matter what, only so that the receiving party member can reserve some of their potions. That's unacceptable, considering they're taking away from the Bishop actually being able to attack periodically. I keep my party members alive and away from death, but never go out of my way to spam heal unless the occasion actually calls for me to.
