Just art, or a peak into the future?

I mean, the way I see it, Thaumaturges and Conjurers have both One-handed and Two-handed weapons. I don't really see a reason for them to not toss 2h swords to Gladiators. It would simply allow them access to a more potent weapon when soloing or not filling a direct tanking role.

Basing an entirely new class around the Greatsword seems like it would be kind of a moot point with the variety of DPS classes we already have.

one reason to not give them to gladiators would be that gladiators already also get daggers, though I'm not terribly well informed about how different they are from regular swords

I'd imagine it'd more likely be a marauder weapon honestly.
