I'm gonna start with Qadal since it's pretty simple. First off it's a neutral spell that gives you a buff that shortens Attack Interval, increases ATK and MATK, and possibly increases autoskill chance. The buff lasts for about 10 seconds. This sounds awesome right? Then there's the Magic Overheat effect :/. Basically once you reach 100% it kills you and Qadal increases the amount by about 20-30%+ each use. The Magic Overheat value goes down VERY slow. Basically making this skill kinda nifty to use on occasion.
Now for the real awesome part! Magic Blade! This crap is awesome. It hits twice. One hit is an attack, one hit is a magic attack. You also need max DEX and -1 sec Skill delay from Gear(or Bishop buff but w/e to that).
ATK hit: This part is affected by Origin, Weapon Element(assuming since it's affected by Origin, don't see why not), and if a weapon has something like -50% damage to neutral(Dia Espada) then this is the part that is affected. Because of Origin this part basically hits as high as the MATK part with a lot less ATK than MATK. Most mobs have less DEF than MDEF too.
MATK hit: This part isn't affected by Origin, but it is considered a neutral spell. So things that increase Neutral Magic(Dia Espada, Ciel) also affect this.
Build: INT>DEX>VIT
Most people with average gear should expect about 20-25k on regular mobs and 15-20k on most bosses with full DPS gear.
DPS gear:
Weapon:Dia Espada(yaay its back on top) is probably best. Kaiser 2 or Beelzetor xtal
Additional:Glory Cape is probably the best now(ATK and MATK+5%), a lot of equips will work well. -.5 skill delay is nice for Illness hit. Barbarotita is a cheap option that gets the job done. Dunkelis
Body:Excelis UP since you need -1 skill delay to spam at max speed. If you have that from other sources than Dragon Mail is better. Ultimi would work too. Moldus
Special: Something with a slot(Dnewt). You will know what kind of a special equip slot to get if you are going for that since that's like a last thing to do lol. Mezzaluna
I'm gonna go ahead and say we are on par with Paladins when it comes to tanking now, except for AOE. I tanked Warrior of Light with only a Bishop and no other DPS. That boss is mostly physical and is light element so I had no damage reduction besides Stoneskin and gear. I survived his Crit with Stoneskin up and died without it(would have lived with Gladiator buffs) but I didn't know he would do that haha. We also get hate super easy with Magic Blade now. Like I wouldn't be surprised if I stole hate and kept it from a Paladin level of hate. I didn't have Ideasol/Lion Shield or Licht Armor while tanking WoL. So...yeah.
Tank Gear:
Weapon:Katzbalger II>Wound Transfer and then anything else
Additional: Glory Cape/Ideasol or Barbarotita/Wolf Ears for skill delay
Body: Licht Armor(like is there any other tank armor now? lol) I haven't tested how well it works without other skill delay gear yet
Special: Knight Gauntlet. 15% HP and more ATK. You are basically ATK based while you are tanking(Magic still does damage though)
All HP 20s of course. Doom may work too. It's 10% Rate Cut on Additional I think. Probably better for us than Paladins.
Cheap Gear(totally forgot this part):
Weapon: Fuma Shuriken. -.5 Skill delay, MATK +6%
Additional: Barbarotita. -.5 skill delay, ATK+5% this combined with Fuma gets you the necessary -1 skill delay for Magic Blade
Body: Whatever. Dragon Mail gives higher ATK and MATK than Excelis without the skill delay and is cheaper. Other than that it's better to save for Excelis UP
Special: Same as DPS/Tank
Basically it's just a no Excelis setup
Any other questions feel free to ask!
