Bishop

Range if I switch to Bishop?

So I'm thinking of giving up on my Blaze Wizard and making a Bishop. Blaze Wizards generally have really low ranges compared to other classes due to lack of passives and buffs, so can anyone give me a rough estimate of what my range would be if I did switch classes?

I'm currently sitting at around 300k clean, with 5000k total int (130% int from potentials), 40% magic attack from potentials, and a 375 matt faf mana crown.

Also, without any outside sources of crit what % chance do bishops sit at?

Thanks

[quote=Graystoke]Holy crap thats such a low range for 5000 int. You range will go wayyy up. I'm guessing maybe 800k clean? Not really sure[/quote]

No of course not. 5k int is pretty low.
I used to have 8k int and only 600k clean as a bishop.

Thanks for the help everyone

Bonus question for anyone who knows: How do Battle Mage ranges compare to other explorer mages? I hear they get a lot of %matt from their skills but they still have the 1x multiplier, so I'm unsure if it would be higher or lower.

[quote=florals]a little off topic, but since when could you switch from a ck to an explorer?[/quote]

You take your equips from one and put them on the other.

Do you have any lines with total damage? I think youll be roughly sitting at 650k range

The first advantage for switching to adventurer Mage is the range multiplier increases from 1.0 to 1.2.

Arch Mages have the skill "Elemental Amplification" which gives you 50% magic attack. So if you switch to archmage you will see your range skyrockets.

Bishops don't have this skill, but from level 150 hyper skill you gain 40% total damage which works only when you disable it. So it's kind of boasted range, but you will still see your range increases. Besides that, it's mainly +matk buffs/passives.

Without link skills or potentials you can get 85% crit rate. Crit rate isn't a problem for Bishops at all.

Mind you even after KMST nerf Blaze Wizard still have 100% elemental decrease. Once you switch to Bishop you will see your bossing damage dropping drastically.
