TY, I had to accommodate my hyper skils
Thanks for your contribution
You’re welcome
Hyper passives are important
Especially for us bishops, shell is important for some boss fights
Oh, I've never actually used holy magic shell during boss fights. I got magnus to like 20% HP but I kept dying for some reason. I think I need to look at a magnus bossing guide.
Need shell for ark
Higher bosses idk yet, havent gotten to that level haha
I use 3 hypers for shell
Hi there, this is my very first Magnus (Single) clear attempt on Hard difficulty.
Recorded on 13/8/2021
Duration: 8 minutes 52 seconds
Total Power Elixirs Used: 19
One death at 7:50
Hope to come up with a full guide video on this boss in the future.
Video is 4 years old. Said player prob takes 5 seconds to take down mag now
Bishops is one of those chars that can push to take bosses down with the same set up of gear and other jobs can’t. Due to shell and benediction.
Hey guys, is there an order that you suggest for prioritizing which gears to get to necro?
The first thing I got to necro was my wand and then second up was my hat.
Does it matter which one I should make third? I'm currently debating between shoulders and gloves, but I'm open to other ideas too.
I’m not even a bish, but lurk around for my alt lol. Probably gloves to give CD
I’ll go for the HP giving parts first. And whichever is not mythic and which ever is can be bought cheap
In order from your current weapon and hat
Outfit
Gloves
Shoes
Shoulders
Cape
Belt
Any tips for bishops? Just feels so trash to do expedition with. I honestly just clear a few quests, ignore expeditions and just AB with big bang
Trust me, it gets easier. You need to progress your gears too
lol I don’t see how but ok. My level 130 dark knight clears tier 2 horntail faster
Bishop isn't a damage class to begin with
Comparing a bishop to DK is like comparing apples and oranges
But nexon nerfed all support skills!!!
Level 200, it'll be easier
They still work as intended, just need to have good team dynamics
Do you need pets with auto buff when ABing as bishop?
at the moment I have some wonder silver pets with magic guard, holy symbol and holy magic shell as auto buffs (only got 3 buffs)
I'm considering changing to a 3 set pet bonus so I can use all my buffs + auto fever
do you just buy water of life from the cash shop to revive your pets?
It’s going to be more efficient to have pets that allows you to have more auto buff slots
you can also buy water of life from trade station, it’s cheaper during pet pull seasons
Yea, I went with a 3 set pet and I stopped dying in AB
Chat how are we feeling with the rebalance
Patch targeted to help clear clucid. 1min burst changes to 2min burst. Blood of divine change is nice
Having true iframe is good but gonna miss 1min cd during gloom
Great for sub 1 minute boss clears. Other than that seems like a nerf in my eyes. Burts window synchronized will be nice, an increase to angle ray would have been a nice balance. genesis iframe will be nice but I need extra buttons!
Will see how it’ll affect during gloom with needing to burst during eye frame and divine will be on CD longer
There are new changes for bishop coming?
sup bishes, is the new balance overall a huge nerf?
To be honest, that's how it looks to me from the patch notes....but guess we'll see once the update's done.
Huge nerf
How work genesys invincibility?
hello, there are so many v matrix slots now. I am level 223 just wondering what to put in the slots. currently have all of this in already.
Are the pinned hyper passives still relevant?
(Advance Blessing - PA/MA & BA
HS EXP
Shell - CD reduction & buff duration)
From 2023
LOL i'm having lots of empty slots, just gonna leave them there
yes
unless they change the passives itself, it is still a staple
Thank you
I still have advance blessing CD, is it better to go shell duration?
shell duration is a must
since they gave free hyper passive reset scrolls
use it
@idle solstice you think the halving bishop dps and nerfing support skills is a good change? 
They should atleast make support class an actual support class if they want to bring down total damage output
I don’t have a strong opinion bc I haven’t tested out the changes yet. Seems like a buff for shorter contents for now
If you pinged me bc of feedback channel, I was manually adding reaction that our bot would on a usual occasion. So that we can see agreement/disagreement
Doesn’t matter what changes they make to any jobs. As long as you got money, you can be top DPS 
cc power lol
fr, especially when bishop still a desired class for bosses after all the changes
but I can see why ppl would be unhappy if it changes in a way that seems like a nerf
I did test the lines and gave it to echo, he should consolidate it at some point. But we did not get nerfed. Dunno where that narrative is coming from.
However, whether we got buffed less than other classes, thats another debate.
Screw facts, trust my opinion 
@calm belfry
All in all, still considered buffed in a sense for bishop for this patch, Angel of Balance and Peacemaker got increased lines.
Fountain of Vengeance deals a faster burst (15s duration vs 30s duration), the number of lines are the same so nothing to comment for this
Blood of the Divine is a good change, removing the HP recovery limit, can just equip it on pet buff perpetually.
Only downside is Divine Punishment, cooldown duration is doubled but the lines is not doubled.
1260 vs 2250 now. Only during burst our DPS is higher
But good thing is push prevention and abnormal status RES is added, way overdue
Perhaps you could enlighten us on what made you feel that bishop's DPS is halved (which tbh is a lot from a general point of view)
We can see if we can help you tweak your char
how do i set up skill wheel for AB or bossing?
what are the skills to grab for vmatrix after this new patch giving free slots?
i built similar to pinned image but i did get 2nd page with like 4 more slots
I would like to know this too.
It’s really up to you actually. And how well you are surviving the map
Pretty sure if you ask 5 different bishops in here. You’d likely get 5 different wheel set ups
is there any core skills/preset i would need?
As a rule of thumb.
For mobbing
- big bang + all AOE + Angel etc
- fountain of venge
Use your pet buff skills like ethereal form or shell for survival as you need.
For bossing
- angel ray
- fountain of venge
- all buffs. Feathers
- v1-4, C1-4
- will node
- DS4
thanks so much!
Depending on how hardworking you are. You’d want to have heals. Dispel. Manual cast divine protection. Benediction. Ethereal form. Etc
This needs a pin
With more Vmatrix slot open, what should be equip for Bishop?
equip? everything? you have more than enough slots to do so by the time you hit lvl 220
it's more a matter of how do you maximize your matrix points now.
How many times should I refine my weapon after exalting to 40?
Thank you. Time to necro
Set your expectations 😉
Can share your AB pet buffs n Bossing buffs ? hehe
If using Normal pets which skill r recommended to use for AB / Bossing
O
check pins pls
Anyone got pics of their v matrix?
Holy just hit 200 and divine punishment is a game changer 🥹🥹🥹
Is there a general stat and skill guide for Bishop just started or do I just slap whatever into whatever hah thanks
it is
you can check pinned messages but these are the core nodes @shadow walrus
Not really directly Bishop related but I flew in levels up to 121 now should I go back and clear story I know it gives vip stones and such thanks
Nope
literally first try necro
Should I max my necro? I have 2k legendary weapon powders
Yes
What is your skill wheel for Mu Lung Dojo auto bossing? This is mine
Not the best for that question I legit just auto and pray
angel ray
So im brand-new to maplestory in any form or fashion. Made a bishop and have auto quested to 105 in like a day and feel a bit overwhelmed with all the stuff. What skills should I be using or focusing on? Not sure what a good skill setup is.
at that level you can upgrade skills in whatever order i like to do passives first. your main attack is angel ray for bosses and big bang for mobbing. keep teleport. use bahamut, holy fountain, and holy water when you can to buff and heal you. try to get the event pets so you can have them auto use buffs.
once you get to 150 you unlock righteously indignant which is changes fountain and water into damaging skills. so ideally you would use your buffs pop righteously indignant, use your damaging skills and then burst.
aside from buffing the party we also have resurrection to revive the party, imo its best used when 4 or more members go down or when the party leader calls it out.
once you get to 150 and then 200 the pinned info will be more relevant and understandable.
right now i think you should focus on starforcing your gear to atleast 17-18 to unlock better farming dungeons and eventually chaos daily dungeon. also do the story exploration and blockbuster dungeons asap. ez exp and its the gate to bossing.
also if you feel that you hit a roadblock you can improve your stats via legion (cumulative characters level) and link skills (class based skill pasive buffs, can be stacked)
there is so much to learn in msm so just go at your own pace you will eventually see it all
also really important is holy magic shell buff. you use it to avoid team wipe on hp scaled attacks
@humble crest thank you for the detailed response very helpful I appreciate the time
np! biggest thing is to have fun and do your dailies
Asking other bishops doing will. How do you handle phase 3?
We were struggling a bit lately and I am wondering what is the best use of shell and benediction?
Use both together before yellow eyes or just use one each time to have more attacks covered?
Any tips appreciated
I tend to do one at a time, have fountain healing, and heal before yellow eyes strike in case some ppl have PE on cooldown
can anyone guide me how to maximum burst pattern ? ( Skill wheel set, which active first...)
We don't, just let them die 😂
Keeping the main aggro alive is key, so try cast the healing just before white eye strikes the aggro
You could heal just before yellow eye attack too, just in case.
But other players should know to stand right on the boss together to avoid yellow eye attack
Thanks, I'll try that next time.
im really new for this (merge from ms to msm) already playing for 2 month now so just wanna ask, is it better to upgrade all armour to mythic or just wait for abyss set?
im quite mess with this system .-.
and im on lvl 207 now, need someone to help me clear abyss (normal/hard) because cant even clear normal alone lol ;-;
Hp can go mythic
Fuse
Sf to 18 rank to leg fuse to myth
The rest no need touch
No need to exalt
focus glove and shoes only?
Hat gloves shoes
And overall
These 4 gives hp
U got myth overall already so that one no need touch
after myth what shld i focus?
this ok? or need to change comething?
U have time until lvl220
Oh
This one can keep
Farming weapon
U need a bossing one
im trying to catch up but slowly understand xD
did you mean i need 2 weapon ? o.0
Keep until around 1b then u can start to scout for the item in trade station
You only need 1 at first
But the right one
Jaihin wand crit dmg/boss attack emblem
This jaihin wand will become necro
after exalt? how about "inherit" something like that idk
So in the ancient category theres inherit and necro
ahh just found this omg
No
Mythic > empress > necro
Like that
But must be the correct item
Which is a Jaihin because jaihin gives crit dmg
Jaihin wand with the right emblem so either crit dmg or boss attack emblem
I usually go for crit damage emblem because it will help once you reach lvl220 and u unlock a special dungeon
Need a lot of dmg to kill the mobs, gives lots of exp
For now u just focus farming mesos
alright...gonna come back after reach 1b i guess?
dmnn if ik early idont need to spend on exalt other item =w=
whaaaa.....sthatttt
Is good because usually farming weapon people only make during late game
1 main (bishop) 3 alts (any class u like to farm mesos)
Ur account only one character?
but im building kanna rn
like 9 alrdy but all of them 120
i thought kanna better bcuz mobbing char from ms
Here different
as i thought....
Meso farming is all about movement
Your character move alot means pick up a lot mesos
already check on website, but still cant decide
your opinion? im interested on adele, cuz my main on MS
but idk on msm
found cadena,shadower,hayato and sia?
and hoyoung?
Can no problem
Found as in?
Oh
your opinion?
Generic meta meso farmer
Phantom, hayato, demon avenger, hoyoung, shadower
This my recommendation
feel gonna start from scratch lmao
U still new haha
i already use tera burning on shade
Oh
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
210
Just because the meta is like this does mean need to follow
Eh
U main bishop or shade?
Nvm
U have any other high levels class?
My farmers are literally lynn and dawn warrior cuz of hyperburn, can collect mesos can already haha
Oh
others below 130-
wait, i need 3alt fr meso farming?
aight...im still deciding
Looking for a good hunting setup for wheel post lvl 200 but can’t find one here. Should I just use the recommended one?
Peacemaker genesis heavens door bahamut big bang
No big bang anymore?
Sry typo
lol
There’s a bosses one but didn’t see a mob one. Will check again
Its the first one
ABing
Oh duh. My b
i really need someone help me clear abyss .-.
Hello, ultra newbie here. Any skill preset recommendations ?
Should I make my Bishop first on a fresh account, or build an alt first for link skills?
quick question do you guys use divine protection for any bosses? like would it work retroactively in gloom after someone gets hit with dropping orbs?
If I don't mix it up divine protection only works for you and not retroactively. I use it just before dark room ends to avoid getting hit by a random orb.
You can use dispel to remove most of debuffs from allies.
tysm!
is there a guide for where to put my my hyper stat points in
Pins.
Oh hyper stat points.
I thought you meant hyper passives. ;-;
#msm-game-help message
If capping MDC, otherwise.
How to do solo will as bishop
so with this, as long as i have these 6 skills twice i'm good? can be any combo or nodes? or this exact one?
like does this work?
as long as you can max:
Angel Ray | Big Bang | Bahamut
Heaven's Door | Genesis | Angelic Wrath
Max is level 60 each skill.
25 is max (+5 from matrix points gained when you level up
2x 25 = 50 +10 matrix points = 60
okay great thankyou
Angelic Wrath is not as useful once you get necro.
When you become higher lvl, you get so many matrix slots you actually can use more skills so it's easier to make each 60. Then you can use matrix points on other nodes.
do you notice the maxed out additional damage stat doing significant damage? i am debating trying boss attack instead on my bish alt to try and cap easier
ty for input
what are the hp scaled boss attacks you guys use benediction for?
Tornado in gloom. Many attacks from will
ty
Remember shell also reduces HP based damage
Any hexa screen shots of the boost nodes on what they do ?
Don't have any screen shots but the patch nodes said it will be increase of final damage
Ok might be best to get origin to level 10 then.
It’s worth unlocking benediction
So it’s better to unlock that first then stats
That’s a proposed set up.
Depending on how much energy and frags you get
I’m currently not pushing beyond gloom or will even. So I don’t think i need to worry about team FD Hurhur.
Haven’t scour the patch notes properly too. But suspect timing might be affected too
I’m not really the DPS on will team so a boost to them could be good but also if I can maximize my damage then maybe there is chance I could open further end game bosses
based on my very limited (extremely limited haha) experience for Will, I think teams that could already take down will pre-patch, are prob having no issues with it now.
I would think it's more coordination than the DPS.
Most carry has moved on lol so new teams will form now so likely ones that used to carry us all won’t be there to do it
What we doing HEXA any whale bishop would share their plans 😆🥹
Sup bishes, what do you guys think of your new 6th job animations
Isnt fountain of vengeance and heavens door the same thing?
no, fountain of vengeance is the fountain you use in vengeance mode
heaven's door is the map wide skill + buff (revive)
ok thanks
melon you opened up hexa stat yet?
Not yet I’m broke on sol
Same.. I never get lucky with those 200 energy drops
Post is the real whale now 
I’m just a trophy bf now, I have a suga momma
Literally gonna be lineage pro-est bishop. Her shredin is 100k 😆😆 I was like what the. Definitely not just 70m mdc
She just unlocked hexa stat, she’s stronger than me now
Didn’t know HEXA is that juicy
I’m too kookoo went with my V 
I think you warned me too on if I already capp
it’s ok I think next run I should be able to unlock got so many shreds
What skill nodes to go for first? I've maxed out the rest of the skill nodes.
- Decent sharp eyes
- Decent holy symbol
- Decent combat orders
- Decent speed infusion
- Decent advance blessing
- Decent hyper body
Also is true arachnid reflection skill worth it to get?
Get this skill and max it out first
Decent skill give flat MA% increase per level, just even out the levels among all these skills
Hyper body first. Then true arachnid. Then max rest
👍, which one gives flat MA%? True arachnid?
Oh sorry I got it.. you meant the decent skills..
Is there any point for our class to get decent advance blessing and holy symbol? Does it stack?
doesn’t stack
Only point is for the mag attack %
You get it just to be in the matrix and not on the pets.
It still gives the ma%
Ok got it thanks.
What should the order be for the hexa matrix?
Anyone who can beat vhilla solo can share their stats?
Anyone have a good all around setup? That can be used to boss but also farm?
I’m leveling my bishop now
Check the pins
Does anyone have the order to level up 6th job skills ?
Does anyone have an updated skill wheel with presets for 250 + players? So many skills and sooo little room for bish.
What is angel of balance and the blue book skill for?
Sorry haha @compact tangle
This my bossing one lol
Best weapon?
hi guys! is there a bishop specific hyper stat page we should have? or is following a general hunting/bossing page okay?
pretty much same except you may want to consider doing mdc or adi last now
got it, thank you ☺️
hi i just reached lvl200 and would like some help as to what to do next! should i:
• sf all of my event equipment to 17/18 in order to get to sf160 and unlock chaos daily dungeons?
• buy 1 weapon and hat piece to start investing in for the long term? i’ve read BIS for weapon is jaihin and muspell for hat so i would buy both uniques to lvl up and sf to 18?
• focus on something completely different that’s very important but i had no idea existed bc there’s a lot of info in this game lmao
i’m asking this because i have a lot of powders and sf scrolls that will expire but i don’t have enough mesos to work on them simultaneously. if it helps, i don’t really care about dishing top dps bc i don’t intend on spending THAT much + i’m a bishop
any info would be greatly appreciated! 😊
you do want to hit sf 160 eventually
if you want to start investing in a long term gear, consider getting an emblem (might not be feasible rn if low meso)
v matrix is going to be a significant boost and is cheaper relative to working on gear, recommended nodes should be pinned in this channel
reading #new-player-guides might give you an idea what you should aim for
oh i forgot about v matrix 
ty i'll look up nodes and try those first
Get into a guild and get cra runs
+18 most unique armor.
Sf 170 then you can do Pharoah
got it, i'll focus on sf and do my gears later 🫡
Bis is emblem gear 8) no emblem means temporary
Except maybe top and bot cra gear
That'll last you a long time
anyone know how much hp is required to start surviving spf10
seems like i die pretty quickly but when i look at party listings there are bishops with worse gear abing there for hours
R u training in healing mode
nah i am not, should i be ?
It helped me
Not linear comparison.
They might have the right party composition for survival.
More ideal skill wheel
Better overall account stats (link/legion)
it was just a case of turning off righteously indignant thankfully
to be fair if you're relying on small differences in link and legion to eke by then you're probably not surviving well in a field to begin with
people i was looking at were very much on same tier as me when i checked so i was trying to figure out the difference
all good now anywyas
I personally find that keeping RI on is better. ESP since you can cast fountain of vege.
It might be a case of your skill wheel too. Esp if you are using Angel Ray instead of Big Bang when mobbing. (Which is why RI on/off matters)
you're saying to use ar or bb ?
i've always had ri on yeah but i wasn't even surviving spf10
I use BB.
RI on/off has no effect on BB
So you turning RI off, only matters if you used AR
that's not the case haha, ri also effects fountain and having it off unlocks other healing skills
I mean.
i do use bb (and genesis and peacemaker) rather than ar
I mentioned that
In the earlier post
Healing doesn’t work in AB
So it’s just AR and fountain
healing skills do
-.-
Sure. Go ahead then
If you insist heals cast in auto battle
Then so be it
Only fountain is casted. Of which in auto battle is won’t affect your survivability
Because you’d be moving all over the map.
So the only thing RI on/off matters in an auto battle scenario.
Is if you are using AR or BB
Erm
If you think that is the reason why you are surviving/dying
Then ok
It’s still not the heal skill
no one said the heal skill brother
Erm idk
I’m not the one dying in spf10. So
Great it worked
But I’m saying it’s likely due to other stuff
it's not though
the only thing that changed was turning ri off (so fountain became healing fountain and i was able to add holy water to rotation)
nothing else about skill wheel or gear or links changed
went from dying in spf10 to surviving spf30
Party composition matters
How many hits are you taking to kill?
Coz if you are getting heals from the water and fountain
It might mean you are staying in a place pretty long
i'm killing in one hit
Then that’s weird
Because you are technically not benefiting from stationary heals
But hey
As long as it works
It’s a win
I’m not convinced it’s better.
But I’m just happy it works for you.
this was a really unpleasant interaction man
That’s the more impt part of this convo
hope you have a better day tomorrow
Why is there a need to agree tho lol
It’s ok to agree to disagree
I feel that’s ok
The important part is, your issues are resolved
I can be wrong in that respect to your set up. And that’s ok
appreciate it brother
how much hp do u have
what is the avg price for an emblem jaihin? and how do people buy them? do they just keep refreshing the ts? 🙁
the guide says 1b but a lot of the other weapons go for 2b+
Tbh
The cheap way is
Buy unique emblem boss attack or Crit damage, sf 18, rank up to mythic
Way cheaper
Or buy emblem from events , buy jahin weapon and pray your scroll hits
wait what u can buy the specific emblems???
Refresh the trade station and pray
If you turn your weapon to necro it doesn't matter what the base is, just the emblem
112k here
Guys with new hexa its better level Up origin skill or enhace arrow?
Always origin skill
hey guys, which hyper skills i need to upgrade? i am level 179
i've been following the pins
which souls are recommended for bishop?
for weapon it would be the best matk% you can get until you can start trying magnificent sould for fd%
other gear not sure but i do a mix of boss atk and cd at the best i can get
are souls a top priority? i have a couple of 100% enchanters but i'd like to save them for my long-term gear if souls aren't really important
definitely save for long term gear! especially if you are getting carried in bosses up to ark
you may want to buy a few from legion shop if you can afford to get exp souls on your non weapon gear tho to help leveling up
also im not sure how much say a lotus atk soul on weapon helps with cd to unlock higher elite dungeon maps but that may also affect your choice
In the mid game, hp is going to be the hard thing to get for us Mages 8)
So I'm using a hp soul
Made it easy to hit the 250k req for gloom
for ~2b is this reasonably priced?
is MDI a good jewel? i accidentally forged MDI jewels thinking they were MA
also what does the block jewel do? what does it block 
You’d eventually want either MDI or BA for bossing.
MA. Is like very bad. Don’t make MA.
what do you use experience nodestones on? Do you just level all the skill nodes equally?
here is my current setup. I prioritized divine punishment at first
yes use on skill nodes
in terms of dps
divine punishment > Angel of balance > true arachnid reflection > peacemaker > unreliable memory > benediction
then if you have extra experience node, consider dumping into mana overload for fd and ethereal form for md
Any tips on hexa after origin 10? Angel ray?
Thank you!
V4 if v4 isn’t capping if not AR I guess.
Thank you sir
Hi guys, anyone here solo to hunt frags?
I notice that BSP always stays on the bottom lane even though rope is equip.
So far i tried on map 20 & 30
Is this normal for BSP?
can bishop double jump? in some places i can and other places i can't
yup and float by holding jump
so am i doing something wrong or what? i can't double jump sideways 😭
yeah i think bishop can only double jump up if i remember correctly
so for thinks like jumping over archon spikes you will have to float
you cant jump twice sideways but you can teleport, what is actually even better
as Soup said you can also double jump up and press button to float, there is also the option to fly using blink, a V skill that can be crafted
gotcha, i was just not used to it since other classes can jump everywhere 😅
bump, testing for discord bugs
upwards yes, left right no
Any pet skills/skill wheel for survival for sacred power field 10/20/30? keep dying overnight 🙁
some say 5-6cd 2-3ba and mdmg on secondary weapon
but depending on how much cd% and ba% you have with gears you may want to play with the ratios. i went 6 cd on my mech and 2 ba and now thinking of how i can min max by maybe going ba stat on weapon if i can hit arcane but idk lol
maybe if i went full cd emblem i could go ba stat but not sure.
bishop
Hi all, for hexa… what’s the combination of stats we are gunning for? Mdc, dei and fd?
Def ignore*
depends on your build. either support or dps.
I see…. Do most late game bsps do support?
Anyone know if AF20 or AF30 is better for frags for solo?
30 better
Best skill wheel for survival in SPF10?
With decent hyper body being good now for survival, what pet auto buff skill could you replace with it?
Do bishops need decent speed infusion for AB or bossing?
speed infusion is a ba buff, so bossing
auto battle should be big bang unless you have issues surviving
speed infusion does come with pa/ma if you can afford pet buff slot for it
Big Bang if you can OHKO
Once you have unlocked HEXA Angel Ray. Incorporate it into your AB wheel such that it in some degree aligns with the cooldown of Angel Ray's passive
Need magic guard when mages have extremely low hp alr to heal
