People Are Ignoring This About Bishop

,

People seem to be ignoring the fact that this bad boy can reduce ability accuracy by 80% while blocking, I'm sure this won't be as good as Red Mags AAR because you have to block for it to activate, but there's no denying this will come in clutch in certain situations, what do y'all think?

    Starting with sp2 seems better

    It’ll be good for things like Bubble shield, only a 20% chance to reduce your block proficiency is nice.

    20% chance for masochism to trigger (assuming it works the same as Proxima)

    Parry stunning black widow will be even easier

    That sharpened claws won’t work well against him


    If it triggers on a parry, then it'll be vastly more useful (I mean a parry is just a well timed blocked after all).

    But yeah, it's situationally useful, but not something that I would rely on (unless the parry counts for the AAR then I would TOTALLY use it a good amount)

    I see no reason it shouldn’t work on a parry, Proxima’s ability reads similarly, and hers works on block. I’d be very surprised if it didn’t for Bishop too

    I'd have to find somewhere to test it, but if so that changes it a lot. But I'll still be aiming for that extra incinerate damage in the majority of situations. Don't need to worry about AAR if the opponent is KOd fast enough!

    It should trigger on a parry just like Proxima. Her AAR isn't based on a parry either in her description.

    Hmm, wonder if that ability makes him a decent Annihilus counter. Not sure where I could easily test that

    Apocalypse at 4 charges shut down

    Wonder if this would work against Stunning Reflection or those other nodes

    I'm sure the uses will come out with time, I just wish it wasn't locked behind his sig

    There's always an Annihilus on the eq. You usually find him on the mystic quest

    Doom might be interesting. His SP1 is only unblockable when his aura activates, so with the right timing you can shut it down completely. There is still a 20% chance it fails though.

    Not sure why people are talking in hypotheticals for this ability ... Proxima has a better version for ages, so we do know a lot about this ability.

    I had no idea, it would be nice to know things it works for, what are some of the things proxima can do with it?

    I wonder if taking Doom's sp1 into the block would prevent the aura

    It states that starting with 1 bar of power it gives him stun immunity while blocking. So that means he will be good for the encroaching stun in AW. So just block everything the timer is about to expire to bypass the stun. I believe right???

    It's as if he is a punching bag for mystic champs 😂
