I thought equips in pvp don't count?

So whats with nexon's description then? They just write things for the lulz?

Probably.

They lie all the time with their have in game descriptions. There was the "unlimited use" potion, there's Heaven's Hammer, almost every skill that involves % damage buffs, and the recently introduced inaccuracy of the third job advancement quest dialogue that still tells Explorers that they need a "special item" to use the Holy Rock.
