Class overview

Bishop (Bishop) is the second class of the Human mystic, from level 40 to 76. From level 76, the third class is Cardinal. The full path: Cleric (20–40) → Bishop (40–76) → Cardinal (76+).

This is the main human healer. The Bishop heals a single target (Greater Heal (1217), Greater Battle Heal (1218), and from level 56 Major Heal (1401)) and the whole party (Greater Group Heal (1219), and from level 58 Major Group Heal (1402)), resurrects (Resurrection (1016)) and removes debuffs (Purify (1018)). From level 64, Celestial Shield (1418) makes the target invincible for 10 seconds. From level 76, the Cardinal balances the HP of the whole party (Balance Life (1335)), and at level 83 gets Chain Heal (1553).

Here each skill shows the level at which it first appears and the description of its first level.

What changed in High Five

According to the official update notes:

• New skill at level 83 (High Five Part 1) — Chain Heal (1553): restores 30% of the target's Max HP and that of the 10 most wounded allies around it. It was given to Cardinal, Eva's Saint, Shillien Saint and Dominator; in High Five Part 3 problems with the skill's effect were fixed.
• Major Heal (1401) and Major Group Heal (1402) (High Five Part 1) — the skills have the same power.
• Inquisitor (1520) (High Five Part 3) — learning level lowered from 44 to 40.
• Cast time (High Five Part 4): Purify (1018) — from 4 to 3 seconds, Vitalize (1020) — from 5 to 3 seconds; Purification Field (1425) had its cast time cut from 5 to 3 seconds and its cooldown from 30 to 20 minutes.
• General changes: in High Five Part 1 the amount of SP needed to learn third class skills was reduced, and debuff success was limited to the range of 10% to 90%; in High Five Part 3 the duration and reuse of immobilizing skills were shortened; in High Five Part 4 the cost of skill enchanting in adena and SP. was cut by 30%

Equipment

The healer wears a robe — the class has Robe Mastery (235); from the Cleric there's also Light Armor Mastery (236), which raises Casting Spd., Atk. Spd. and MP. recovery in light armor. From level 76, Sigil Mastery (926) raises healing effectiveness by 30 and MP recovery by 17% when using a sigil, so from S grade a sigil is taken in the off hand together with a one-handed weapon.

Look for magic weapons among blunts (staves belong to them) and magic swords — the linked pages list the stats of each item. About set enchant bonuses — Enchanting Armor Sets.

Where to level

Zone levels are approximate.

The Bishop shines in a party; leveling solo is hard. If you do level alone, undead zones are more convenient: against undead the class has Might of Heaven (1028), Hold Undead (1042) and Turn Undead (1400).

Tattoos

For a healer, the priority is the stats that govern casting speed and the MP. pool and recovery. What dyes exist and what they give — Dyes and Symbols.

Subclass

The main class gets skills for subclass certification at levels 65, 70, 75 and 80. The list for High Five is in Subclass skills in High Five; the general subclass rules are in Subclass.

Olympiad

To take part you need Noblesse; rules and rewards — Olympiad. Trance (1394) and Dryad Root (1201) buy time, Magical BackFire (1396) and Mana Burn (1398) drain a mage's mana, Celestial Shield (1418) saves you at a critical moment, and healing helps you survive a drawn-out fight.
