The Bishop

Attributes-
Balthazar Magic- This attribute increases the damage that the Bishops does with his/her martial weapon (staffs, quarterstaffs and glove upgrades). Many Bishop skills, especially those to do with warrior ancestors and weapon attacks become more effective with higher Balthazar magic.
Dwayna’s Magic- No inherent effect. Many Bishop skills, especially those relating to healing become more effective with higher Dwayna’s magic.
Grenth’s Magic- No inherent effect. Many Bishop Skills, especially those relating to hexes become more effective with higher Grenth’s magic.
Lyssa’s Magic- No inherent effect. Many Bishop skills, especially those relating to elemental attacks and curses become more effective with higher Lyssa’s Magic.
Melandru’s Magic- For every rank whenever something attacks there is a zero point five percent chance that the damage dealt is halved. No skills come under this category.
Divine Magic- For every rank of Divine Magic all allies that don’t have hexes on them receive 2 health every 10 seconds. No skills come under this category.

Bishops are masters of martial arts and communication with the gods. They are the jack of trades, however they are the master of none.

Bishops are very powerful but are quite easy to kill since their strongest armour is only 70 and their health maximum without runes is 400. But their energy is high which is without armour 35 but with armour a minimum of 50 and 4 energy regeneration. Also bishops receive double the penalty on all major and superior runes and runes of vigour have half of the effect. Bishops are very potent healers with their divine magic but do not have as good healing spells as a monk. Bishops are quite powerful attackers, they can use staffs for ranged attacks before hopping into melee with glove upgrades and quarterstaffs. Melandru’s magic is very useful when in melee because there may be a chance to reduce damage by half. Bishops can be used as very, very powerful healers when combined with a monk secondary profession because of the much more potent monk healing spells and divine magic combined, however the true power of the Bishop lies in his Balthazar Magic and his Grenth Magic. In Balthazar Magic Bishops have various attacks that could easily inflict big damage on foes quickly before retreating. Also Bishops can call upon warrior ancestors to aid them. There are five ancestors that can be up to level 28. Ancestors behave exactly like the necromancer minions except that warrior ancestors don’t need a body to be summoned and they can be assigned to any target party member, they have a non-accelerating -7 health degeneration, you may have up to five ancestors alive per every five ranks of Balthazar, you must have five ranks before you can summon any ancestors. In Grenth’s Magic the Bishops can do anything from cause -8 health degeneration to making foes move 60% slower. Using some very potent elite skill they can also inflict every condition possible on foe for a short time. In healing magic there are not many potent spells however they can create environmental enchantments. In Lyssa’s magic Bishops can use elemental attacks and defenses and minor curses that can deal minor damage, however Bishops rely more on Balthazar’s Magic to inflict damage.

Well i didn't read that whole swarm of skills but from what I can tell this is just a collection of concept skills that should be given to the actual class, not mashed together in this colorless thing.
