Bishop

How are bishops treated lately?

How are you guys are treated lately as bishops? Before, there was this notion of us just being HS slaves or mules and people don't generally bother with us much. Especially if you're not funded.

I'm just talking about random parties (for training, bossing or party quests).

Do you think some people just abuse us for our buffs or what? Just curious.

What is your best/worst experience as a bishop? Do tell.

I usually go solo but if I'm in a party to PQ or to grind at HoH, I'm treated very well, no one needs to shout HS 'cause I do it beforehand.

No one has abused me for buffs.

I don't like being a hs slave but I know it is what it is.
If i'm training I'm always in the field because I hate standing still.
I keep the buffs up nice and easy and kill a massive amount of mobs too. <3

Best expirience as a bishop: Back when there was the ressurection glitch, we went to the Evolution System Cygnus, a party of 6,
and I kept ressurecting everyone, and cygnus dropped the Empress Mage Shoulder. Even though they were like, 3 battle mages, they all decided to let me have it, as a symbol of gratitude. I still wear the same Empress Shoulder to this day.

EDIT: I have footage of that amazing expirience, one of those party members recorded it, and uploaded. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVxq5xWyKTg]Watch it.[/url]

Worst expirience as a bishop: I used heal inside Chaos Queen (RA) and killed my whole party due to zombify.
They blamed me, and we had to restart.

Even before the RED update people tend to like me since I can deal some damage (or at least tried to) and was able to keep my buffs up at all times unless I needed to afk for a few mintues. In all seriousness though I'm usually lazy and prefer to HS and Bless while letting people grind and do damage. I never really party with randoms unless it's someone I add to fill up a spot so they really can't complain much.

Yes. Then again I think everyone abuses just about every other class for buffs or damage. I know I'm guilty of it if I can party with someone with HB, SI, SE and so on.

Before level 200 when I would DC during 2x at SDH and log back in and die because of lag and no MG.

We're OP.

p2s

(But now seriously, we will always get abused for buffs since we are majorly a support class, but in terms of damage we can win even if unfunded).

I don't really maple as much as I basil but I do have a bishop friend who is able to get top ten in dojo <3. Bishops if funded right are really proish.

Of [i]course[/i] bishops are abused for the buffs.

But there are many who enjoy being the anchor of a party, really. I know many, myself. Of course, I'm not one of those, but...well, we can't all enjoy being Soraka.

...Oops, wrong game.
