Gladiator does not parry.

Gladiator does not parry. Not even with Foresight up. Glitch or working as intended?

yes it is working as intended. SE has always intended to make gladiator the most useless job you can pick. blocking was nerfed. and at the same time blocking was nerfed, parrying was taken away from gladiator. if you wear a shield you will not parry, if you do not wear a shield you will parry but not block. gladiator's HP was reduced and mp increased (why? SE is dumb. why on earth would a melee class have MORE hp than pretty much the only tank class?)

but i digress with my i hate SE rant...yes you cannot parry. take foresight off your bar.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
