So Nexon made it so that Bishops using Ele wands LOSE 25% of their att since its not their respected element. This is a fairly large damage loss and im thinking its gonna hit lukless hard. I have a lukless Cleric atm, Lv.46, should i quit my Cleric and go for I/L or maybe a Blaze Wiz? What do you guys think?

They said something about only the ones that don't have Holy will decrease M.ATK. What about the other ones they so mysteriously implied exsisted?

Even with the 25% decrease we still pwn other classes.....just get a good maple shine wand or staff....and your set to go......no other mage is more useful than us at bosses....and even with the loss we will still 1-2 hit skeles and other monsters....and last but not least we have HS.....so other mages can keep their ele wands

Well I think your doubts were cleared, but I'll post anyways. Bishops were not shafted, they just can't use something that was NEVER meant for them in the first place. If you're a cleric you can still go full lukless or become a low-luk DDS user. Losing 1 weapon does mean the whole class is useless. Do not keep your hopes up for a holy elemental, there will never be one. @First poster: What that means is that not every wand/staff decreases holy based damage, just elementals. Apparently that did need to be pointed out because some people have asked if all wands and staves decrease holy damage.

Easy Sell wand for 800-1 bil. Buy a couple of eggs + hammer to get a 52 stat ht pendant... then use rest to be a lukless doomsday staff user.

Lol, main for bossing? NO WAY! Attackers are main, not bishops.

I don't know exactly how it's done but I'm pretty sure it involves trading it over to another character to use another egg on it, then repeating that. There's a screenshot of a52 stat 2 slot HTP here on Basil, and in Khaini I've seen one of them smega'd.

No, they're not shafted. They still have their other skills, and they still have an elemental advantage, and if the lost stats really mean so much to them, then they can just abuse the new ht pendant feature. All this means is that there will be less demand for elemental wands and staves, which will (has) make prices decrease.
