Originally mained a Bishop. Seriously? Back then they sucked until level 120, but they could heal. When party EXP was balanced, I would grind at Himes with my girlfriend (Brawler), healing her and killing with heal. People cared about support back then. After that, at level 120 dat Genesis spam made me godlier than everyone else. Holding Skele maps, holding Gallopera maps, no one could take on a Bishop.
Nowadays Bishops have it way more sweet: Multiple healing skills, one of your main attacks also heals, Heaven's Freaking Door, etc. They hit very well, and have way more interesting support.
Sadly it was too late for me when those changes came. I jumped between other classes like Dual Blade (dual wielding daggers is my favorite thing in most games), Angelic Buster (pewpewpew, enough said), but now I'm maining the great and amazing, the revamped Thunder Breaker!
PROS:
-Thunder. It's like Flying Assaulter, except it's pineappleING NOT. Using Ascension+Thunder is like Flying Assaulter, except you don't have to use that boring jump button. Dual Blades got jelly and got some Dagger Ascension crap, but it's not half as good!
-Ascension+Thunder. Clear maps in seconds! Only second to stuff like Luminous' light reflection.
-Teleport between platforms using Flash to hit enemies. Just like some mages do, but you're meleeing! Also you get Cygnus horizontal and vertical flash jump, woo!
-Generally gigantic range skills for a melee class.
-Chaining skills to reduce skill cooldowns and gain invincibility frames. That's what we wanted for Buccs! Sadly they changed Buccs to lazor shooting spirit summoning weird things, but we got new Thunder Breakers! It's more fun combining skills than pressing a single attack key button. You must have every skill mapped in your keyboard, as they all come handy. I deviced a perfect keyboard setup because of all the possible combinations, and it's wonderful.
-Arc Charger makes you spit more lines than you can see per second.
-Green speed potions are incredibly handy, and before you gain Primal Bolt, you can use them for Gale/Typhoon canceling, making you a speed demon for attacking, specially at maps like evolving world and dimensional invasion.
-You shoot sharks. And tornadoes. WITH YOUR OWN HANDS. We don't need orange summons! *looks at buccs*
-Somersault Kicks! BUT BETTER. Shark Sweep, motherpineappleer.
CONS:
-Just okay HP.
-Primal Bolt and passives do not compute together. The whole point of Primal Bolt is Typhoon spamming. Typhoon spamming equals to losing many passive boosts. Sure, it's stronger, but what's the point of these passives anymore?
-Annihilate.
