Don't misslead people about what their job does, please

I actually agree. I picked up Gladiator thinking "Ok, Tank build with shield, or sword focused DPS" and was surprised to find that wasn't the case. Granted, I went in blind, over a year and a half ago, and have no problem with how the class plays. I was just really puzzled my first dungeon when everyone was waiting for me to take off running. Not to mention I kept trying to equip a second sword to my offhand.

Doesn't help that the gladiator symbol is two swords crossed.

the Icon is blue though, in this game: Blue = tank, Red = DPS, Green = healer. The symbol in the icon only to show their class/job, the colour is what tell the role

Not to mention the early MRD & GLD skill have : Increase eminity, any normal player would had google or ask around what does eminity mean. Those who don't know are ignorance who do not read skill description and it is their fault.

Remind me which quest or tooltip in the game explains that?

Common sense and logic.
If you don't have those, don't play a multiplayer game.

Common sense has nothing to do with blue being a tank role.
Especially to those who have never played an RPG before.

As to the reason that the base classes aren't so obvious to their role is due to 1.0 not having job crystals at all from the start. You didn't have a defined role and you could spec into other roles via cross class. Some of the instructional videos even used gladiator as a DPS class. Oh that red lotus fire damage seemed so cool back then...

But the big block letters in the queue that say TANK is a dead giveaway. Oh, and the class quests you had to do.

If someone has never played a rpg before then they should read about what they're getting into. When smart people find something new, they read up on it. SE has information on the website about which jobs are which and what they should to in a party.


Besides I'm really not understanding how any gamer doesn't know about the holy trinity. The holy trinity is even in shooters for people that mostly play those.

Oh I agree a little research goes a far distance.
But sadly, not everyone is going to do this, and their lack of reading into things will ensure they won't reach a point where someone is telling them to read into it. If the game told them with a bit more clarity as to what role is expected of them during character creation, it wouldn't piss off 3 people is Sastasha one day.

Your point is moot, you don't even need roles in Sastasha.
