Gladiators. What are they now?

Actually looking at the translation of the Famitsu interview, I see that yoshida doesn't give a shit about the current gladiator lore and wants it to be a pure tank.

Ugh.

If that's the case, hopefully Fencer/Samurai are still gonna come out...and soon. Want a sword class that isn't only there to get hit, thanks.

Me too. It pisses me off that there weren't great sword or katana classes from the start.

Ugh. As much as I like glads, I can't stand pure tanks. We need an offensive class that uses normal swords. Yoshida really needs to play a GW warrior to see how a frontline class should be played. Why is it that in most online games, if someone has a regular sword, he isn't expected to kill anything? This boggles me.

Ideally if you went one handed your attack power and accuracy would go up by however much a shield would protect you for. If you go duel, you get two normal powered attacks.

Mr Yoshida isn't thinking outside the box. All the classes and jobs are just going to end up stereotyped. I wanted to see the game have multiple tank classes and multiple healing classes. But apparently we are going to have obvious tank class, obvious DD classes, and Obvious healing classes, and it is just going to end up completely monotonous. They still seem to play to lock the weapon class to the job it unlocks. And he wants PvP.... what to see gladiator get its face owned off because it cant do any damn damage? Just going to go back to having unused classes.

Im starting to wonder if he really played everquest. I played it. It didn't lack for variety in what you can do with certain classes. Paladins and shadowknights could use 1h/shield and 2h sword/axe/mace.
