The inadvertent buff to bishops

In MapleLegends, there have been many skill changes affecting many different classes, but you may be wondering what skills could have possibly changed for bishops. It isn't a change in a bishop's skills per se, but a change in the buccaneer arsenal from its GMS counterpart. Skills used to be able to stack, like the weapon attack buffs of certain skills and as the skill in question as a part of this oversight: Speed Infusion.

Back in GMS you could use your Weapon Booster(+2) and stack it with Speed Infusion(+1-2). Because of the limitations of v.62 code, I don't believe that this was possible here, so instead we got it written in a different way: To make Speed Infusion buff people with (+3-4) more weapon speed.

For almost every class, this was as intended to the speed you achieved with SI in GMS. All of them except for the one class with no other boosting skill: Bishops. Bishop's skills were all balanced around the concept that they didn't have a booster skill, and because of this the casting time of Genesis is the same casting time as Meteor and Blizzard after the Arch Mage uses Spell Booster.

A bishop can get off around 22 casts of Genesis per minute without SI. An Arch Mage, using their third job Spell Booster, can also achieve 22 casts per minute. The ultimates for magicians were balanced around the fact that bishops did not have a booster when Neckson decided on the timing.

What this means is that overall, Speed Infusion gives bishops +4 casting speed while it gives Arch Mage's(And every other class) an overall +2 casting speed. In numbers this means that a Bishop is capable of casting Genesis 28 times per minute, while Arch Mages can cast their ultimate at most 24 times per minute.

So this means that Bishops get an additional 27% more DPS added from the use of SI.

Arch Mage's get an additional 9% DPS from using SI, and that's where the bishop should sit if they received the intended +2 boost from SI.

What's to be done? Honestly I hope nothing is done, it's kinda a nice buff considering the Bishop's lackluster damage. :^) It's just interesting to think about, and probably only makes an impact with the addition of the Shaolin Temple mobs and their high HP; because a bishop with SI 5ko'ing is about equal to an AM 4ko'ing with Spell Booster now. It is also a big advantage to anything easily 1ko-able(gubi goby) by taking the cast time down. For just sheer 1ko potential AM's are the better option though.
