Raubahn has show the ability to wield two swords at once, dual wielding, and as far as we know he is some form of Gladiator. So Lorewise, Gladiator should be able to gain a dual wield skill. Personally I'd be OK with this, but would like to see a new job based on Gladiator, but not a tank as such and kind of the opposite to the PLD. I'm thinking more in the direction of a more lightly armored Gladiator with defense approximately equivalent to a Dragoon, but wielding two swords instead of a sword and shield. Not sure what it should be called, but Lore-wise We should be able to branch this off of Gladiator and use Raubhan's history as a backdrop to the job quests.

Back in the 80's there was a TV version of Robin Hood, called Robin of Sherwood. It was a British show, I'm not sure if it was ever seen in the US. There was a character in that called Nasir, who was supposed to be a Saracen assasin. His standard weapon was dual wielded curved short swords, kind if like a rapier but with more curve.

So, perhaps we could have a Saracen 'job' which is a DPS branch of Gladiator that uses two swords, smaller than those used by PLD/GLA, but definitely swords not daggers. Curved blades would look great with this too.

Here is a picture of Nasir in action;


And with the swords sheathed on his back;


And this is a better picture to see the actual blades;



and with scimitars;



and another 'action' image';
