First of all No, it's not. Now listen. *Please. Elemental weapons apply a 25% change in damage, depending on whether or not the skills being used comply with the element of the weapon -- +25% if the skill element and weapon element match, and -25% if the skill element and weapon element do not match. As there is not a holy-element-based weapon, the element being used by the Bishop (holy) doesn't match the element of the weapon they're using (it's impossible, as, once again, there is no holy-element-based weapon), so damage will be decreased by 25%. To all wealthy Lukless Bishops who were squirming with delight at the prospect of a DEXLESS-STRONGED STAFE, all is not lost. Sure, elemental weapons may be among the most powerful magician weapons you could ever wield, and it is a loss to not have them available to you. But this doesn't mean you're stuck with a wisdom staff/shine wand for 136 levels. The Doomsday staff. If you were wealthy enough to get a nice elemental weapon, you should probably be able to go through this series of luk-upgrades that shouldn't lay a finger on your level of INT. -- You have 4 base luk. Not much, but it's something. -- You're probably wearing a zhelm. If it's average, it's got 15 luk. You're now up to 19 luk. -- Elemental weapons are expensive, as are 52/52/52/52 HT pendants. With Vicious Hammer having been released, you can now acquire a 52-to-all-stat HT pendant. You're now up to 71 luk. Only 9 luk to go until you've got a Doomsday staff in your hands. -- Permanent Parachute Shoes. Clean, they'll raise your luk from 71 to 74. If they're Agent Scrolled, you could already have surpassed 80 luk. If not... -- Glasses. If they've got at least 1 luk, that'll help you. If they've got 2, that's even better. If they've been chaos scrolled, you're pretty well off. All of this can be done without re-allocating a single point. A Doomsday staff is what, 123 magic attack while clean? That's pretty hefty. So to all of those saying, "Take that, Bishops!" Or, "[Lukless] Bishops got screwed! " You are incorrect, as LUKless bishops haven't really taken much of a hit to their damage. Wouldn't it be funny if you got your remaining LUK required for the DDS from Maple Warrior? You wouldn't be wearing a weapon, and suddenly, out of nowhere, one appears in your hand after you use a skill. :D

wow another way for nexon to make money. They remove the original free way of scrolling a HT pendant with the eggs and instead make it so you have to spend real life money on nx to buy the vicious hammer to THEN scroll it. -_- Way to fail again Nexon. (Then again there is MTS but i suck at it lol)

lilkirby said: "wow +50 ._. that like.. 10 lvls..." 20 actually, since every class can make use of 2 of the stats (str dits even of 3, which would mean 30 lvls)

So, TotallyPants - does this mean that LUKless bishops are still stronger ?

TotallyPANTS Jul 30 2009 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Well... ...probably. :o (Stronger than regular LUK Bishops, at least.)

I couldn't even afford an Elewand before because I didn't want to bother selling leech like the majority of my Bishop friends out there. I knew a Shine Wand would be my end game weapon. Plus I train with SE...1 Hit already sometimes. I know I could be a lot better, but I'm lukless because I want the most MP possible *earlier* too. Anyway, my question is, how much do you think the average HT necklace costs these days? o_o; I mean, do all Bishops have one? I got my MoN for free because of Res/Dispel/Heal.

" You can also get your HTP for free because of Res/Dispel/Heal. (: I don't know about Scania though... I heard there's a guild that pretty much runs Horntail. (Excellent) I have no idea about the prices now that the HTP can be scrolled to 52 stats but their 22 stat pendants were 500-700m depending on stats.
