1: About Magician/Mage Stats
With the new and revised magic formula and accuracy requiring LUK as an essential component, 1 MA is no longer given by 1 INT.
LUKless bishops are still possible but consider the high costs of scrolling, item making and weapons. I would recommend adding LUK with every levelup.
2: My Bishop's Stats
Level - 185
INT (Base) - 805
LUK (Base) - 110
Attack - 0
With equipment:
INT - 1126
LUK - 196
Attack - 8636 ~ 11515
With equipment and Maple Hero 20 buff:
INT -1220
LUK - 207
Attack - 9347 ~ 12463
3.1: Magician AP
Magicians require these 3 ingredients: MA, INT and LUK.
Big Bang has a basic accuracy system in place for all jobs: for every monster's level difference from yours there is a 5% miss rate.
Factor in also the new magical accuracy which requires LUK.
To be on the safe side, your total LUK should be your current level + 3.
3.2: Magician Equipment
Use overalls, gloves, helmets (Zakum Helmet, Scarlion/Targe Helmet, Chaos Zakum Helmet), shoes, capes (Purple Adventurer Cape, Purple Gaia Cape or other capes with % stats), earrings (any), rings (preferably with stats bonuses and/or MA), pendants (Horntail Necklace, Chaos Horntail Necklace, Mark of Naricain), face equipment and eye equipment.
For Bishops we can use both staves and wands but not elemental staves and wands which will reduce our damage output significantly.
4: Cleric SP
Max Heal, Spell Mastery, Bless, Invincible, Teleport and MP Eater.
Holy Arrow can be left at 1 SP by the time you reach Level 70 for your 3rd job advancement.

Max Dispel, Holy Symbol, Shining Ray, Holy Focus, Elemental Resistance, Teleport Mastery, and Mystic Door.
Summon Dragon requires 15 SP for the Bishop's Bahamut summoning.

6: Bishop SP
Max Big Bang, Bahamut, Angel Ray, Buff Mastery, Genesis, Infinity, Ressurection, Holy Shield and Maple Hero/Warrior.

Mana reflection does not need to be maxed as well.
