KMST 1.2.11 - Skill Changes Part II

I think they're pushing for each class maining its own weapon and fixing what maple started with (hence the reboot).
Heroes: 2-handed axe
Paladin: 2 handed BW

Considering the game had shields from the day it was released, and the original 4th job skills for both Hero and Paladin gave a shield and shield-dependent skills, I think you're wrong. These classes may have been meant to use axes and maces, respectively, but they were meant to use the 1h ones.
