Another possibility is increase their dmg options, or increase the utility of block skills,
Other possibilities, include buffs for the party that also increase enimity, A gld can be worthwhile if he gives everyone in front of him a defensive or offensive buff
increase the dmg of phalanx, or add effects, like DOT Defense down, or attack down.
ambitdexterity needs to make the block rate extremely high or last longer.
Another thing is monster distribution, they need to make it where glads increase in defense is worthwhile, they should have some hard hitting monsters, that a glad can maybe get hate on, but probably wouldnt want to, whereas the gld might love it.
Another possibility is make gld more technically superior, as in by responding to certain cues, increases its potential dramatically, the tools are there with on block manuevers, but the effects arent noticeable enough. MRD is a master at the brawl, but a gladiator should be excellent at a thinking mans technical fight. Give glad some more DMG based on how well they are tanking.
just some rough ideas, the execution is up to them.
