Bishop Guide (Credits to Irosumi)

Well, this is a guide on both my, and a friends, behalf. This is my first and I want to share my opinion of Bishop with fellow players.

Stats; (These stats are all advised by the player "Irosumi")

To start with, and as always, max int. This gives you a rough estimated heal of 3200-3300 by lv 84 (Lv 84 is 256 pts, one max stat for those who didn't know or are new.)
After maxing your int, start to work on your vit. Do this until 90 vit and then begin to work on your dex. This is for decent cast time of the skill "Nemesis" which you can obtain from a quest at lv 180. (As many long term Bishop would know, this is where everything gets fun and easier.)
After you have maxed your dex, or are feeling low on your HP, return to adding vit until max.

So, overall, you should hit lv 252 with three max stats. Currently, the lv cap is 250. Leaving you with a rough stat build of;
256 int
250 vit
256 dex, or; 256 vit, 250 dex.

Now, time for gears. This is what I, myself, found to be a nice set for prioritising hp over magic attack damage.

Armours; Saltus slot (preferably upgraded)
This gives you +8 hp on non-upgraded. 10% on first upgrade and 12% on final.
Iron armour slot, upgrade. (This gives you a flat 1000hp on the upgrade)

Additional; Miwi hat slot.
This gives +20% hp with no upgrade available. Adding a 20% hp into this will give you +40% from one gear alone.
Piton Hat slot. ~ This gives 1000hp and a nice defence boost along with Miwi hat.

Special Equip; Rustling Leaf or Brave Bangle (Slot one of these with hp reward or mp recovery f
