Why do you think MRD is better than GLA to defend against multiple adds? There isn't really anything specific to a MRD that it can do against multiple adds as opposed to a single target. I would agree that holding hate against multiple mobs would be easier for a MRD, but again, not anything specific to defense.

In my opinion, I do think MRD should have a boost to defense against multiple adds, specifically, to enhance that "AOE specialist" flavor.
A lot of Gladiators focus their stats on vit only and then maybe str for increased blocking. Mrd can put a lot of points in dex and str, while still having a higher healthpool than Gla.

Having a bigger healthpool and higher evasion on top of the stronger emnity & damage (Storm's Path every 10sec) is why I find Mrd better in defense on multiple targets. ... unless all the monsters want to stand right infront of the Gla, but that doesn't happen a lot.

And I'm under the impression that Defender 2 is stronger on Mrd main class, but haven't been able to prove it yet.
