Bless)Your post made me want to rant about a few points to Nexon. Let me copy this from my post in msea forum:
It seems good and all that you give us many more useful support skills now, but here's what you should do next:
Stop making attacker classes TOO powerful and TOO self sufficient that they don't need our help at all.
- Stop introducing more broken damage improvement tools that will make attackers' damage much crazier than the currently broken high damage.
Enough of that non sense already. The way you make maple as it is now, you only KILL party bossing. What's the point of giving us so many nice party skills yet we aren't needed because those attackers are self sufficient? Don't contradict your nice quote for bishops "core of a strong party" with your "killing party bossing" moves. Don't you realize by now that strong party doesn't need us with the current situation? How many people still bring bishop in their boss runs now?
- Stop giving attacker classes too much base status resistance
By giving certain classes too high base resist (Heck, even much MORE than what bishops gets. Where's the logic?), like a whopping 60% base resist (easily 80% with maxed willpower), it's indirectly saying that they don't need our help even if the boss has potion cool down (all cure potion CD). Realize the fact that 60% resist is already able to guard you against abnormal status most of the time. Try it with your DS, DA, mihile. If anything, it is US who should get a better status resist than them, not the other way round. The support class should be less vulnerable to those status-es so that they can take care of their party's well-beings.
- Stop introducing items which can replace our support skills easily
One example is the existence of wheel of fortunes, which are easily accessible by rich players, making resurrection useless. They can afford spending wheels as they please without worries. You see?
Simple logic, right? If they truly want bishops to go back supporting (Which is what I really love and why I chose cleric few years ago), stop doing all the above non sense.
But so far Nexon is too stupid to understand this simple logic
