Assessment

A powerful healer and eventually essential for the Dispel subskill, but somewhat limited by the lack of synergy between the skills compared to other classes. Should be unlocked as soon (or late) as Dispel or Veil is needed.

• The weakness of Bishop that Dispel and Revive are irrelevant for many fights and Panacea, while very potent, can have trouble with single-target damage spikes or area burst, both of which Holy Saber handles better. Panacea's short cooldown makes it extremely efficient in battles with low, consistent damage where it can be cast consistently without the party ever being in serious danger, but such fights are relatively scarce.
• Spear proficiency valuably enables Double Trouble III, but Holy Saber can use that as well, and Miserable Mist will often be more efficient regardless.
• For battles where Clarity is better than Dispel, Cleric can be superior despite being a Row II class.
• Considerably more effective in multiplayer, where Dispel is more likely to be useful and you can assist all parties with Panacea and the aforementioned subskills. Raid-wide skills also generate considerable contribution, allowing even new/weak players to farm Event Honors or Pendants efficiently.

Overall, Bishop is usually at least decent, and potentially amazing when more than one of its skills finds use, but there is often a better, more specialized class for a given battle.

• Veil is excellent, but may not be a priority as many characters (including Katalina) can provide it.
• White Wall is not worth the EMP cost as Rain of Arrows III or Bard Song generally offer more survivability.
