Gimli used a two handed battle axe. They could have used bracers. I agree with Gandalf being an Invoker (the battle he had on Weathertop with the wraiths seemed to consist of many lightning bolts); but, he must have dualed to or from druid because of the summoning of the equilivent of a king of air elementals AND his minions. Boromir was a prince of the highest civilization of mankind in that part of the world, not a barbarion. He may have been a fallen paladin. I also agee with the idea of Frodo's con being so high.
