Shields on Arch Mages/Bishops?
Do arch mages and bishops use shields on their off-hand slot still? Or are they like warriors, where if they use a 1H-sword and shield they can't use their secondary weapon? Planning to make an explorer mage so I thought I should figure this out first.

Luckily, VIPs are kinda available again outside of Gachapon.

Yeah, that's not true.
My little brother's (hideous-looking) Dawn Warrior always had a 1h sword with an alien shield.

@CherryTigers: According to [url=https://redditjs.com/r/Maplestory/comments/2d6y04/question_blaze_wizard/]this redditor[/url], BW will still be able to use a shield. However, as this is only one source I'd take it with a grain of salt. But seeing how DWs can use shields (idk if they changed this, i played DW while UA was still a thing), BW should be able to.

Are you sure BW uses a shield? All 4 other cygnus knights exclusively use the cygnus secondary. I hope Nexon allows BW to choose between the shield too :x
I know the current old school level 120 BW uses shields but you never know what can change during the revamp. Do you have any info from KMS about shields? I wasn't able to find a single bit of info except for people's hopeful predictions.

Shields are much better than secondaries as they can be scrolled
Yup! You can't use the secondary weapon if you use a shield.
