What happened to Bishops?

I just came back after a year long break and I was wondering what happened to Bishops cause apparently they got slower? And what's going on in maple in general?

Only thing I saw that got "slower" is their attack speed on angel's ray. But no worries, in my opinion the animation is way cooler and u can circumvent the slowness by using speed boosters.

[quote=shyally]Angel Ray did get slower, but also significantly stronger against boss monsters.

For training on regular mobs, we gained Big Bang + Genesis combo.[/quote]

Yeah, just the slow attack speed for bossing limits us. Hence why I made the hard decision to switch to I/L after maining cleric/bishops for 8 years

[quote=Mjamie]I would say angel ray attack slower now with a larger delay. Other than that, everything is pretty much the same[/quote]

Absolutely not! In fact, their mobility is better. Not only did they up Teleport's range (especially vertically), you can now teleport while jumping (though you need a platform nearby to teleport to). It certainly can help you get around the maps better. Mind you, I/L and F/P also got this change =p

[quote=GlobalKorean]Could you define slower? Do you mean slower to train? Slower to cast spells? Slower in what way do you speak of?

If you're talking about training, I don't think so. Got my Bishop from 1-100 in less than 3 hrs of casual gaming.[/quote]
