Better class for dmg/bossing

In the beginning I've made a bishop so when i get to a reasonable lvl so i can change jobs to either I/L or F/p
Or maybe i might stay as bishop.
Im wondering the which is better for bossing, damage etc.
Please do give the pro and cons of the 3 classes

As you can see F/P is #3 behind Zero and Nightwalker(obviously) while I/L is #7. Meaning they're both VERY powerful classes for bossing.

Fire Poisons are very strong but this damage is highly depended on damage over time(DoT) meaning you'd have to keep your screen cluttered with skills to maintain such high dpm which isn't so relevant against non-bosses when you already can ohko them.

Ice/Lightning are very great against mobs due to their greater Area of Effect(AoE) and their appealing skills make them funner to play in my opinion.

Bishops make lvling easier and faster for not only yourself but others as well. For bossing you'd contribute a huge help when you keep your party healed and Dispelled(Zombify can be Dispelled) but their damage is pretty low compared to every other class in the game.

As for which to choose it's really up to you, don't pick a class based on damage because that's not what Maplestory is all about. I personally like every mage except maybe Kanna, my favorites being Bishops+I/L and Battle Mages.

What elements do you love more? Ice and Lightning, or Fire and Poison?[/quote]

The /L damage in that chart looks way too high. Also, Mechanic and DW are above NL. And if this chart is really talking about unbuffed damage, then it implies I/L is almost stronger than Zero on end-game bosses because of elemental ignore. Which is incredibly unlikely.

fire poison is best for mobbing ib elieve, and I/L for bossing.

Im not saying to be an a-5-5 but if you go to the mage section and look you will find indepth comparisons of il vs f.p. In generally f.p is strong at a low range, if you cap with glac(i could be wrong) and not on para then i.l. When you cap on para then f.p is one of the best bossing classes in the game.
