So I was just reading about the balance patch, and saw all these great things for I/L and F/P, like fire arrow hits 3 monsters and the decrease of mp usage, everybody I meet keeps pointing out these things that are bad about cleric/priest/bishops as if they are mocking them like how heal doesn't have a mastery, or with elemental amplification AM do more damage and how they are just "heal mules" and nothing more, and I saw nothing that improved bishops in any way, it almost feels like not only did we start out worse, Nexon is giving the other classes even more advantages and none for us, can somebody tell me if bishops are getting something, or bishops aren't that bad or something? please and thank you in advance

clerics/preists/bishops do not get anything from the balance patch. And if heal has any kind of mastery, it would be considered overpowered. @Above The reason they are doing the patch is becuase the Legend class is very overpowered.

Bishops already have too much with their genesis so they are balancing out AMs.

Please bishops have everything. There genesis spams quicker then meteor or blizzard and they have all these party skills AM's don't have.The day I hear on my BL R< AM for zak instead of R<Bishop for zak maybe I'll feel for Bishops.

Bishops arent getting anything out of this bevause theyre already pretty balanced. Dont listen to the people that say clerics are "heal mules". most 4th jobbers depend on Bishops for training. The AM has been a very bad offensive job, so they need these boosts. Clerics on the otherhand are the only supportive job. @ MindSpaz stop talking out your rear end so often. Theyre also making the balance patch to make advents more balanced. Thats why Shads got a speed boost (so they can be comparable to buccs) Pallies got a damage boost ( so they can be compareable to Heroes) and most other classes got nothing, because theyre either already balanced or too overpowered.

agreed but AMs need the mp reduction so that we can compare in training costs to a bishop as well as an offensive boost to compensate for the 0.02 second diff. in casting times for AMs ultimate and bishops ultimate. seriously that diff. can mean the difference between KS and EXP

[quote] ninjacooper : bishops are the reason there doing the patch....in my oppinion [/quote] idk if they're doing this bcuz legend 2 overpowered.. i thought they were trying to make all the adventurer classes evenly balanced.. and it shouldn't matter if the a/ms get more boosts... once ur lvl 120+ you should be splitting a map w/ A/M + bishop(or HS-mule). by making a/ms more powerful all they're doing is giving bishops/priests a more powerful training partner...therefore increasing their exp. Bishops have faster ultimate cast by a very slight amount, less MP cost, and work the best at one of the best training places- skeles. plus all those party skills. and killerkupo, #1 there is a difference between CLERIC and BISHOP. clerics, yes in party quests they are heal slaves (trust me on this).but bishops are much different than clerics... #2 A/Ms are the fastest trainers on anything that is weak / neutral to ice + fire, and anything that is neutral to holy. (except bossing lol) what's this junk about "a/ms bad offensive"...

All i would really care to see is HS being added like 1 more minute, it is sooo annoying having to go up so much to get hs

But on a youtube video of an f/p AM, they said that AM's are the best KSers, but how is that if bishops attack faster? And he also said on holy neutral monsters, AM are more powerful with elemental amplification and/or with a Ewand/staff

Bishops got nothing because they serve their purpose well already.

Bishops remain one of the top support classes in the game, while being able to train nearly as quickly as a A/M, if not in some cases quicker. I find them sightly broken, not below normal.
