Tanking?

So I've recently returned to this game and I was wondering... are gladiators the primary tanks in this game? I realize you'll need skills from other classes... but well :O are they the main class you want to be on?

I see a build topic but that's from a few months ago so I'm not sure if anything is outdated >.<

Yea Gladiators are pretty much able to negate more dmg and hold hate better them pretty much any other class.

Through a cycle of Emulte + sheild skills + Sentinel + Diversion + Featherfoot, you can pretty much negate almost all the dmg from normal attacks and Weaponskills and nukes.

Combine that with other classes hate drawing abilitys you hold hate.
