Assign angel ray to a key, hold that key down, keep buffs up, and use HMS before entering a big mob.
I don't have Angel Ray yet XD Is there any other way to deal more damage? I have all 4th job skills maxed outQuote:

I don't care about how much damage I deal, I want to use my Bishop in its current state to its maximum potential.
Damage or not, you absolutely need Angel Ray to fight as a bishop.
Then you should try to get all of your skills, Seriously, There is absolutely no reason for you to not get angel ray, it's extremely stupid not to.Quote:

So either buying it or getting it from a run is a relative cakewalk. It's seriously mandatory and if you don't feel like you can do it, I would strongly consider not playing that class.

And that's only at level 1, Angel Ray has 30 more levels to grow and develop, while your other skills are capped.
And damage = Efficiency in maple story, the faster you kill the higher the exp and gold/hour is. It's always been like this and it will continue to be this for many years to come.Quote:

In a heavy mob situations you generally tap things once and teleport to one corner of the map, then spam your mob skills while they all pile up, aggro-ed to you.Quote:

In bossy-dps scenarios you're literally going to put a rock on the angel ray key and fall asleep, assuming you have auto-pot, if not you'll just have to watch your HP and pot as needed, and stay buffed.
