General

Bishop

Do you feel like we need Elemental Reset?

In my life as Bishop, I have an average damage (around 600k per line on AR, I think that's average), but not having ER for bossing bugs me quite a bit, I am losing more than half of my current damage there so my bossing abilities are quite low (I already know most bosses cut your damage of course).

In one way, I feel like we might need ER, on the other hand, we are supporting classes and few mages like us also don't own ER, so, in general, since we just buff people, we might not need ER then, that's just me though, I love attacking.

What do you think, in your life as a Bishop, do you feel like we need it or not?

PD: Make productive comments, thank you.

Having ER would be nice as it's becoming more of a soloing game for bosses.

No, they're fine as they are.

If Bishops received ER they would be one of the stronger jobs out there, which would be unfair considering their support role.

It's kind of awful having to resort to skills like energy bolt when we bishops come across holy-resistant enemies though... the undead idea is pretty good --just some kind of skill that makes up for bishops' inability to attack holy-resistant enemies just like ER for i/l and f/p mages

[quote=bubblecup118]Think about it. If bishop gets Elemental Reset, then what is the point of having a I/L or F/P. Those 2 classes are meant to be better at some things because they lack the support skills.[/quote]
Why have an I/L or F/P? The sheer difference in damage between the two Arch Mages compared to Bishops is amazing. If anything, Bishops don't have Elemental Reset because they're not meant to be offensive, just like how they did not have Magic Booster until recently.

There's a bunch of things in this game that's holy resistant/holy immune, and almost every other mage has it..[/quote]

You already got magic booster and other skills which lessen the gap of differences

I honestly don't think we need elemental reset, since this game is already to easy as is (disregarding end-game bosses). Nexon doesn't need to baby its classes anymore.

[quote=AzureMist]Reset Reset and more reset why not go further

Since bishops are a supportive class they could give them the ability to reverse boss resistance
causing them to be weak to all elements for a set amount of time [/quote]

Sounds like a fun idea, too bad Nexon... is Nexon.

Hilla and her INSANE elemental defense sais hi.

Oh, also, ariel, you know, the statue that protects PB, she said Energy Bolt is her new favorite candy.

OT: Instead, ask nexon to make all monsters unholy. OR RATHER- let us have a skill to make monsters "undead".

being a "Support Class" means that it shouldn't really "need" an Elemental Reset. ofc, having one is always nice and is a bonus but as a class, it's not meant to be the major dmg dealer. plus only 3 classes in all of MS has Reset anyways.

Of Course. Our "elemental reset" was doom and that didn't work on bosses (not to mention they removed it now).

But of course, don't expect to get it, nexon's not gonna add it for at least another year or two.

@PoofCake: what do u mean by YOU must get it. U do know that there ain't any decent "elemental reset" out there. It's got to be a change to the entire bishop class as a whole.

It honestly depends on your playstyle. If you're doing decent damage then you should get ER especially since AR isn't just an attacking skill, but also a support.
