Tanking stat priority?

[Nilheim]

Evasion is irrelevant, but using Featherfoot is nice sometimes. For example, when you see a big mob charging up a strong tp move, you can use Featherfoot to avoid it because they hit hard and you usually can't block TP moves anyway. In case you don't know, Featherfoot is a low level PGL ability, so it's pretty easy to get. It doesn't work everytime mind you, but it's always nice to evade that 1k move coming your way when you can. A good example is higher level moles: when they go underground I always use Featherfoot, and watch people in my party getting raped by the TP move with a smile; it hasn't failed me many times, so you see, it can be worth it.

As for stats, what the others said. Personally I have STR > VIT > DEX > MND but that's only because I solo a lot and I need the STR and DEX to do damage. I wouldn't care as much about DEX if I was tanking all the time. Once Paladin is released, I'll change and focus on tanking 100%.

Hello all,

Dacen here from Karnak, I'm new to the forums and leveling Gladiator as my main too. Thank you for the helpful information on this thread as I too was wondering about primary stats.

Does anyone know how many points should be put into Dexterity? After all, if you cant hit the mob, you cannot generate TP quickly, or enmity either.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you! I look forward to seeing you all around on the forums.

It might change thursday with the patch, but right now GLA does not melee when tanking. All stanmina goes for defensive/enmity actions so you only store TP with outmaneuver and raging strike > hawk's eye > Red Lotus (which has 100% acc) if you want to WS or just burn the TP with shield bash/phalanx.

So i'd say 70~80 DEX is more than enough for GLA. You can use it even lower if you going for max VIT (174)
