Notes[edit]
- During the beta, the Battlemage was planned to be the sixth player class. Along with the Warden, it was scrapped at launch in favor of the four standard classes, though the Warden class later returned to the game in Update 14. Some remnants of the class still exist within the files, including icons and a few errant strings. Destruction, Two-Handed, Alteration, and Mysticism were skill lines associated with the class, back when the familiar schools of magic were still used in the game. Parts of this concept were later adapted into the Necromancer and Arcanist classes, both types of Battlemages with specialized fields (Necromancy and Eldritch Knowledge respectively).
