Marauder

"Marauders are combat specialists whose weapon of choice is the greataxe—a fearsome arm long associated with Eorzea's pirates. Their approach to battle is one of brute force, as they rely on pure strength and good steel to crush enemies and sunder weapons.
They are highly sought after for their ferocity and intimidating presence, and are often employed to hunt down monsters plaguing the land or to turn the tide of battle between warring nations. Skilled marauders have been known to take on entire packs of slavering beasts and emerge with little more than a few scrapes and bruises." — Game Description

Marauder is a Disciple of War class that specializes in greataxes. The Marauder's Guild is located in the marine city of Limsa Lominsa. If you choose marauder as your first class, you will start off in the city of Limsa Lominsa. The Marauder can acquire the job Warrior at level 30 if he or she also has level 15 in the gladiator class.

Class Overview

The art of the marauder was first born in the crucible of brutal ship-to-ship skirmishes. Found to be just as — if not more — effective on dry land, this fighting style relies on one's ability to properly direct the force generated by the axe's heavy blade. Thus the techniques employed by a marauder seek to maximize the destructive potential of our chosen weapons. The axe is used to rend, to cleave, and to destroy. It is not our way to simply outfight our adversaries; we seek to overwhelm them. A marauder must be the most powerful and enduring presence on the battlefield; we must account for the most enemies defeated. Our role in combat is that of a steel whirlwind, dealing death and destruction without equal.
