Hi, I'm currently playing bishop -> cardinal.

What's the best way to lvl up and get money with this class?

Its hard because they basically have no nukes to work with. (The undead nuke is pretty good but it only works undead monsters so its very limiting)

Also, I see youtube videos of bishops/cardinals doing well in pvp, but I have no idea how since I have no skills that seem helpful...maybe I just don't how to use them..

And what equipment is best for healers? (I checked the sticky in this forum about equipment but couldn't find any info on healers)

well
u just must go for undead mobs cuz that skill rox
and for pvp - get nuke augment and use trance alot
mass pvp - u just have to be with good reflexes at party members hp falling
sometimes its rly hard to play him

4 sho nuke augments+bishop=imba pvp char and good for oly tpp

loladvices...

Lvling bish is kinda hard tbh...
Go wherever you find undeads all the way.
You can use turn undead on high lvl mobs and finish w/ nice exp.

Nuke aug is useless unless you want it for Olympiad. For ganks too.
And unless you play some HR Javas, thats a long way off.

Get a karmian and then DC/Tallum robe set and acumen weapon.
Ur job is to keep ur party alive, not to nuke for some lousy dmg.
Bishop is hard class but one of the most useful end game.

hi i don't see ur limitations about leveling...go hit catacombs or necros not to mention IT or pagans.Eq :always to have mj robe and major arcana, a dc robe set is also useful sometimes,also conversion and acu weapons;about pvp ur job is to heal if u wanna kill get a nuke augment,for 1 on 1 a draco bow is a must.
Edit:srry about draco bow part i forgot now bishops have inquisitor...used to my old sv :p

undeads can be found on forest of the dead, fg, field of massacare,deep in loa(if you go with pt htere you will be rly usefull)and if you want lower lvl go to dragon valley there are sceletons bout level 44-52 or smth liek thath so bish can lvl to 70 without problem dood

why should you have MA set ? dc robe is much better for healers cuz of the cast speed...

i would go for tallum couse it inc mp and mor m and p def dc haz less p def and lowers mana and m def and both set give same cast speed
dc for nukers couse it increases int(moad damag)
tallum for healer couse mor def and mana

depends of situations for pvp MA set is good 1 vs 1 oly mode for instance when inq is required.

nah tallum>alll for healers

whatever...

dc doesnt give int
plus imo mj is best for healers cuz of mp recovery:)

Hmm... tallum doesnt give more mp, just more mdef, dc has most pdef (8% bonus), casting is the same, tallum decreases int (-2 not a problem at all).

If u can afford, use two robe sets: tallum set for xp-ing (cheapest + most castspd for turn undead and heals) and get a mj robe set for mass pvp.
However, against nukers tallum robe will be better (mdef bonus).

Thanks for all the replies guys! Definitely helpful to know where to lvl up now and what item sets. i tried forest of the dead, really good lvling!

but i'm a little noob...so what is nuke augment?

ever you ever heard of augments ? well augs were implemeented on IL and you need life stones for them...you can augment weapons and jewels and you get many different bonuses...you can get stats like p attac or def or like INT and STR....or you can also get skills...active passive or chance skills....a nuke augment is an augment were you get an active nuke skill....nukesare the mages attacks like hurricane hidro blast and all others...

anyway it's very hard to get a really good augment like a nuke but if you have one it's perfect...
