[1.2.265] New mage class!

looks more to me like a mount you can attack on (think battleship but not restricted to the cannon). Not saying there won't also be summons but this looks like a Mage Knight style mounted unit.

Been wondering when they'd do something for that "mob equip" slot...

Yeah it's probably a Dragon Tamer Mage, where you ride on the dragon all the time (like a battleship) and use various attacks with it.

I hardly doubt you can actually fly with it, because maple maps aren't made for that. Maybe you can jump high with them though and have a lower falling speed (sorry gunslingers for stealing your ability xD)

I think it's more like Golden Axe, if anyone remembers that classic game from 1989... You can choose to ride drake / dragon like monster that attacks for you (fireballs, flamethrower, etc).

I guess there will be some chargeup ultimates like Aran's also have (Tempest) too for the eyecandy...

Although, if it -IS- a mage class, I wonder how Nexon is gonna boost the spell's baseattack, since that was magician's flaw in 3rd / 4th job...

I also assume they also get passive criticals to allow all classes to use criticals (+Sharp Eyes, of Aran's boosted (lol) variant of it) the same way... unlike how broken / underpowered most adventurer classes are now that don't have passive criticals...

Edit - Ah, here's a vid:
