I was sad to read it was not a bug. I feel gladiators aren't really needed at this point. No parry, horrible block rate, and horrible proc rate for aegis boon and deflection after the patch made GLA weak. All of the 'hard' content they've come up with can be done without gla. Hell, I haven't watched a video on it yet, but I hear Ifrit is better tanked with LNC due to them being able to do damage?
