death knight???

[Conradus]

If any CLASS Becomes a DARK KNIGHT, it wouldn't be Marauder, but Gladiator. It would be a DD Gladiator Job... Dark Knights use SWORDS AND SHIELDS, not Axes.

DRK in FFXI did not use shield at all. He *could* use axes and great axes, although his rating in those was low enough that you generally wanted to stick to scythes and great swords. His rating in single-handed swords (the type GLD uses) was no better than that for axes and great axes (B- for all three).
