Bishop

Thinking of changing jobs from BaM to Bishop

Hello all ^_^. I created this thread because I am stumped at the moment on whether to continue my battlemage even though I am 200 and getting quite bored of it or create a bishop and start moving funds toward that. Could you please help me with this decision on which road I should take? Thanks ahead for responses . Also I do not mind if you recommend another mage class.(Just not Lumi or I/L.) Thanks ^_^

[quote=RevenantAngel]Sigh are bishops ranges relatively that low?. Also how much would i be hitting with AR with that 50-60k range?[/quote]

100k range on a bish is almost 200k on any other class, AR starts hitting 1m cap at around 60-70k range with infinity, 70-80k without, with VoA minus about 5-10k from each ranges

[quote=MinusHeel]I'll have to double check my equips, but I'm somewhere between 150 and 170% int and about 6xx magic attack at level 200 and my range is 110-120k fully bufffed (Higher if using the AR hyper), so I would guess since your about half my range, 50-60k maybe?[/quote]

[quote=RevenantAngel]Sadly all my good stuff isn't tradeable . I mostly rely on untradeable equipment such as Mu gong dojo gloves,9%int tempest equips, and my helsium mage cape.
I'm not too sure how much damage I would be dishing out , but if someone could calculate what my range would be on a bishop with 98%int and 334 magic attack at level 163 it would be greatly appreciated as well. [/quote]

[quote=scrumble]Wearing an Elemental Weapon as a Bishop should decrease your damage by 25%.
Though if its a godly weapon, it may still beat a decently scrolled Empress weapon. Best choice would be a godly Empress though, in my opinion.

Bishops will always be necessary and welcome in parties, so there's that. ^^ If you could make it a strong Bishop, you'd be pretty unique. Aside from that, well you're already used to your BaM, so you could try the Bishop and keep its equipment to make sure you can try out the level 200+ content whenever the RED update hits. :O Who knows, you may still like it.
