Bishop guide

The most powerful healer in the game, the Bishop is a must-have when venturing deep into the upper-level dungeons, and a welcome addition to lesser groups as well. While it gets no more buffs, its heals are better than either of the Elder classes, and much better than its Prophet counterpart. It's the only class with Vitalize or Mass Resurrection, and one of the only two classes with Greater Resurrection 4. In short, it's a beefed up Cleric with even more demand for its services.

If you're going to cast Restore Life, make sure that the percentage of HP your target will gain is higher then what they would gain from a Greater Heal, because Greater Heal costs less MP to cast.

Casting Vitalize (which both heals and cures poison and bleeding) on someone who is hurt and afflicted with either poison or bleeding saves you time and MP over casting Purify and Heal separately.

Use Mass Resurrection only if you really need all your clan members resurrected at once. Mass Resurrection restores less of their hard earned EXP then normal Resurrection does.

The original (pre-40) Battle Heal heals the same amount of HP as the normal pre-40 Heal. However, Greater Battle Heal heals less HP (and still costs more!) than Greater Heal. Only cast GBH when you need it in combat.

When hunting in hard hunting spots with multiple aggros, you will sometimes have multiple members of your party getting hit at once. At this time, casting Greater Group Heal can save lives.

All of the Bishop's attack skills affect undead only, so if you get bored of just healing, try going to Dragon Valley; a lot of the monsters there are undead.

Might of Heaven will be your main attack against undead. It deals a large amount of damage for a small amount of MP.

Hold Undead rarely works; consider not learning this skill at all. It costs a lot of MP and has a long recharge time as well.

Repose, a skill that reduces undead aggression, comes in handy if your party gets too many undead monsters on them at once. Cast this in the middle of the monster clump and your party can kill them off one by one.

Requiem's effect range is too small to be very useful. Another downside: you need to cast it before the undead monsters become aggressive on you or your party for it to have an effect.
