At lvl 120m say you wanted to be a gladiator and use a 1h, can you do that?
Or be a knight and use an Axe.
Does anyone know this? I was just curious.
Thanks

As far as I know, no. The knight uses both the 1h and 2h swords, while the gladiator uses axes. I honestly don't see this as crippling in any way, save that you can't switch from good damage to good defense at will, as I've yet to see any skill unable to be used by a sword user that can be used by an axe user and vice versa. Having no shield may render one of your skills obsolete if you become a gladiator, but the point of a gladiator will be to deal damage more than it will be to tank, just as the knight will be more of a tank than a damage dealer -but only because it will be able to use the shield. The armor of both classes, surprisingly, gives exactly the same defense, even though gladiators go shirtless.
To answer your question in a more simple way... We won't know for certain until we can become gladiators/knights, but it appears that you can't swap offense for defense and vice versa as easily.
