I guess the positives are that its your story and you can play how you want too. Other than that, there aren't any. Mages aren't made to boss. They lvl like no other, but are the weakest bossers. Your I/L will be exactly like your bishop excepting no heal, no invincible, no door, no holy symbol, no res, no holy shield. I mean, the reality is AM's get the short end of the stick anyway you look at it.
How do you know you won't like an attacker class? I have a lvl 152 Bishop and 160 Bow Master. Once you get a high powered attacker, bossing becomes "fun". I killed pap in under four minutes the other day on my BM. I have duo'ed zak before, simply because everyone else died, but I did it.
You can simply hate attacking classes because they do more dmg to a single target than your bishop, or you can just join the crowd and make one yourself. Every class has its own benefits.
One last note. If you made the strongest I/L mage in all of Maple you would still be "just a mage." I mean seriously, they are the pariah of pq's. If a party needs a mage, they will look for a bishop.
I really think Maple should do something about making F/P and I/L have a stronger singe target attack skill, as it is right now they are getting shafted from every direction. Bishops beat them in every conceivable way, and attacking classes beat them in every area thats left.
