Range difference

Im a bishop currently with 200k ranged buffed with everything, arcane aim and etc.
If i were to change into a i/l will my range be higher?

at least you're an explorer mage... non explorer mages have a 1x instead of 1.2x range multiplier

Yes your range would go up simply because Elemental Amplification (which is +50% dmg) shows up in the range itself, which means it's a bit inflated.
When it comes to actually hitting numbers, I feel you'd be doing more damage because, well, that +40% dmg from Frozen Orb stacks is nothing to mess with. Plus, your damage won't take a hit when it comes to bosses, who are pretty much all resistant to holy.

your range may go up slightly, but its your damage output that would increase more significantly.

stay with the bishop side

My main is an i/L but i also play Bishop
In my opinion your range would be around the same cuz all 3 explorer mages have almost the same buffs and passives
But you damage overall would be higher because blessed armony(5% per pt member) only works when you are in a pt while forst cluctch (8% damage per ice stack) works all the time
and also your damage would be better in bosses beacuase i/L and F/P have elemental decrease that bishops are lacking
