Hey all,

I have recently just begun playing the game again. My last attempt was in January 2011, and am trying to learn how to play Gladiator. I have played Warrior and Paladin in FFXI and had no problems, this game is a little more confusing.

What skills should I be using?

Is it bad to use higher level gear over lower level?

What if any elemental resist should I put into?

I would also appreciate any constructive critism. I have been trying to spec this character like a Paladin in XI, Cure/Protect/Shell etc. Am I going the right direction or should I be focusing on something else?

Thanks for any input
