Gladiator is not broken, but Enmity moves need to be at least x4 power

So what you're saying is that you're no level 50 and your opinion on the entire matter is based on your experiences in a single xp party with some random marauder of unknown skill (gear != skill). I presume you also do not have a 50 mrd yourself to directly compare the two before your own eyes.

Look, gla is great against a single target. It reduces damage well and it keeps hate well against that one target. However, imagine for a moment that you lose the shield, some of the dmg mitigation, but can spam a weapon skill that is not only aoe, but also A-tier in terms of dmg and has the added effect of increasing enmity. There is no simple fix as the issue is multifaceted. Increasing the enmity generated by abilities will just help other tanks too.

In lengthy fights and on certain (currently: most) targets mrd is a better tank.
It generates enmity faster, on multiple targets, and what you give up to get that is forgivable against big mobs atm.


Hopefully we'll see a better balance in the future. Stuff seems to change every patch for the better. Once they close the gap in ability all will be well. Just don't deny it to yourself that mrd isn't better atm, because it is in nearly every situation out there, just witu varying levels of success.
