Pipe Dreams: Gladiators, Paladins and Dark Knights

[Duelle]

A few comments:

1. with this set up GLAs will be missing 2 of their traits at a time, other classes don't have this issue

Which ones? The defense traits I've combined into Armor Mastery. The Flash traits I just rolled into Flash, which would then be a Paladin ability rather than a gladiator ability.

2. your version of Hallowed Ground is weak for a 15 min recast. Sentinel is a 50% damage reduction with increased enmity generated for 20 seconds on a 1.5 min recast. So, I prefer the version of Hallowed Ground we have now.

Cooldown is moot. An ability that makes you immune to damage is overpowered not matter how you slice it. We're not going to feel it now, but we will feel it somewhere down the road. Take it from me, who has had to deal with damage immunity holding back my favorite class on several occassions, and always being a point against my favorite class whenever I asked for buffs for said class.

3. I don't think GLA will be getting DRK, due to GLA abilities and they might follow the FFXI route and give DRK to a scythe class.

The ability spread for GLA is close to even. I just gave it that proverbial kick in the rear it needed to accomodate great sword. That and I hate the downsides scythe had.
