Bishop keyboard layout A little while ago, there was someone asking for a Bishop keyboard layout. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread or post, so excuse my making a new thread about it. I cluster skills based on their frequency of use. [url=http://evilcowking.tumblr.com/image/71861874924]Here's my layout. [/url] Personally, I want to be able to feel where my keys and not have to look at what key I'm pressing (-it's not the same thing as typing!). For that reason, most of the vital skills are on the periphery of the keyboard, rather than the inside, where it's easier to sense what key you're pressing by tactile feedback. Hope that's helpful. Feel free to upload your own, too!

Endgame Bishop Inner Abilities? Level 200 is just around the corner for me so I'm beginning to think about how to boost my damage, particularly for bossing, in ways that don't require excessive $ on NX. Currently, I'm wondering what would be "the best" end-game inner abilities to get. At first I was thinking +1 W. Att speed (-it does increase casting speed, right?) and +%bosses... but, upon doing some calculations... I am really tempted by the idea of getting all 3 IAs to +50% buff duration. Coupled with a level 200 Mech link skill (+20% buff duration), that would be a whopping +170% duration, not to mention another +50% from our Buff Mastery skill. With all those combined, Infinity would last 128 seconds. Given that our damage ou

Bishop solo Azwan on Hard? I've recently begun to do Azwan to unlock inner abilities. I'm currently at level 22 honour. I can solo Attack / Occupy on Normal without much problem but that's only ~450 EXP as opposed to the ~1500-1800 I would get if I were doing the same modes on Hard. The far right tower just downright 1HKOs me every time so I can't even get close to it. I try to find people to party with but that's not always an option given my play times. How do you Bishops solo Hard (if at all)? I'm considering raising my Willpower to 100 in order to gain +2k HP boost (I have about 4K now with AB30 boost), but that's gonna be ~350M and A LOT of time.

Forgive my ignorance, but gtgt As a Bishop, I do my best to keep the members of my party buffed by cycling through the map rather than being a rope/ladder hugger. Well, lots of times it seems that people I recently buffed are coming to me asking for re-buffs, yet, I can see that from my last cast, there's still another ~20 or so seconds for the duration. My question: are these people being impatient or does that skill that lengthens buff duration only effect ourselves and not those were are buffing (eg. my HS lasts longer on me than it does on them)? edit: Not sure what the funny letters in the title are. >_<

General Warrior

Average Dex ? Question Hello, everyone. I recently started playing Maple after a 3 year absence (when I was hacked and lost ~1B mesos, ~5B in equips, all my chars = ). I frequented these boards, particularly the Page/WK/Paladin ones - not sure if anyone remembers me. Anyway, evidently a lot has changed since then and a lot of the guides I'm seeing still haven't caught up with some of the recent stuff so I've got some questions. 1) I'm completely unfunded (level 57 Aran, BTW) though I've managed to scrounge 1M already from equips and Etc. drops. I'm starting to miss with my attacks now, which leads me to ask what the average DEX for a warrior is now, given the new Strength Training (?) skill in 2nd Job. Ideally, I'd like to keep DEX as low a
