I've been thinking about which would make more money after becoming a Bishop or AM but I couldn't really work it out. So if you were buying leech (anywhere), what job would you prefer buying it off? This what what confuses me >.>" Bishops: Good ; People prefer HS then nothing. Bad ; Bishops are weak due to the 25% Magic decrease after equipping an Elemental Wand (Unfair T.T) I/L + F/P AMs: Good ; They're stronger Bad ; No HS. So which would you prefer?

I still go with bishop since one of the best leeching spots after 100+ happens to be Skele, and as everybody knows, they're weak to Holy.

Ele wands aren't the only things Bishops can use you know. People prefer Bishops > AMs because of HS and, as stated above, Skeles are the best place to leech.

Arch Mage with an HS mule > bishop

Since I'm a priest I would prefer Arch Mage seeing as how I can hs myself and 1hko bishops think they are everything and demand outrageous prices.

Depends on their level, if they can both OHKO then I'd go with Bishop 100%. If not, then I'll reconsider. xD

Bishops overall are better IMO because they are versatile. After the 12x lvls pretty much everyone can 1 hit harps and blood harps (except for fire mages due to the elemental stuff *bad part of f.p*). For Wyverns most bishops will 2 hit untill they pass gen30+ are around lvl 16x. For mage Wyverns are easy to 1 hit due to the elemental weakness. *Bad point for both mages since i.l are weak againist the blues and f.p againist the reds*. Newts are okay I guess. Most mages will 2 hit untill 16x in which the AM would need an ewand 5 or 7 and bishops wont 1 hit nest golems until late 18x. *I guess you can say thats a bad part about bishops but really how many 1 hitting AMs are there running around selling leech?* Skeles is pretty much even ground because the lack of elemental negatives for AM and the holy weak aspect evens out the damage. With the holy weak aspect and max gen the damge is slightly over 1000% while with an Ewand and Amp the damage for an AM is around 970-999% (dont remember exact numbers). Edit: Forgot to mention that the missing few % of damage is very minimal for mages (maybe around 500-1k damage.)

i bought a leech from an AM that 1hkoed everything. he had 3 laptops and he had hs mule + hb mule. so i guess an AM is better if he has hs mule + hb mule and 3 comps all side by side.
