Tanking stat priority?

[Dacen]

Hello all,

Dacen here from Karnak, I'm new to the forums and leveling Gladiator as my main too. Thank you for the helpful information on this thread as I too was wondering about primary stats.

Does anyone know how many points should be put into Dexterity? After all, if you cant hit the mob, you cannot generate TP quickly, or enmity either.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you! I look forward to seeing you all around on the forums.

It might change thursday with the patch, but right now GLA does not melee when tanking. All stanmina goes for defensive/enmity actions so you only store TP with outmaneuver and raging strike > hawk's eye > Red Lotus (which has 100% acc) if you want to WS or just burn the TP with shield bash/phalanx.

So i'd say 70~80 DEX is more than enough for GLA. You can use it even lower if you going for max VIT (174)
