Will Phantoms bring a slow end to Priests/Bishops?

I've been an avid priest since the start of my mapling, and I've come to think that the Phantom will possibly bring a slight decline to the amount of priests we see in the future.
I mean, I hate to talk down on my class, but we don't have a high damage output and we are primarily used as those to buff others.

When the Phantom comes out, I can assume more will pick up Holy Symbol from their third job skill. Ergo, we now have someone who can supply extra exp but can also pump out a good amount of damage that someone like a priest/bishop cannot recreationally do at a moderate level range for LHC (115~130).

I may be a bit pessimistic, but does anyone else think Bishops will be a shadow of their former self?

Leave thoughts below.

EDIT: To those saying Phantoms won't be able to steal the skill anymore.. Take your blinders off and look at the big picture.
I mean more in the sense that a party would want more dps, than say an utility class that can just now be regarded as a mule to have skills stolen from.

No. Because Bish's are still the best support. They still have Magic Shell. Resurrect. Etcetc... Unless if all those can be stolen. Then maybe...

Well how would Phantom steal the HS kill if there are no priests or Bishops around to steal it from?
