Those equips being of class type 2 means that any magician can equip them and does not necessarily make them part of the Explorer Magician class or subclasses in the same way that Dawn Warrior or Aran have nothing to do with Heroes or Paladins.
Class type in the files applies to all mages of any superclass (Explorer, Cygnus). Your theory doesn't hold.
If I am correct, the new folder in Skill.wz will be 2200 or 3200. If you are correct, the new folder will be 240. We'll see in due time.
One more thing. The swords that the other guy was talking about are 1H swords as classified by the ID numbers for the strings in the data. This means that this magician can wield both a sword and shield, assuming, of course, that the addition of these strings are in any way related to the new magician class.
Ahh, of course. Silly me!
Regardless, the class will most likely (unless, of course, swords play an integral part in the character build) utilize the Magic Attack stat, which means that if they are indeed BattleMages they may most likely, as I said earlier, "represent" the Magic Attack classes on the single-target DPS playing field. Such a class would indeed decimate the reasons to play an ArchMage, as there are no important areas in the game that require the unique abilities or mobbing power of F/Ps and I/Ls.
While I agree Nexon Korea's aim may never be to openly supercede other classes, I don't think they care about creating something that obliterates two of the most unpopular and least useful classes in the game. After all, how many times have I been told as a LOLFP that I'm obsolete when compared to Blaze Wizards?
