Yesterday there was a JP shout for raid 50 and the guy was a gladiator recruiting archers and mages only. Although it is good to know my classes still have a place in the party scene, I do feel a bit sad for pugilists, lancers and marauders being second string choices for now. But this is natural selection at its finest because in a small scale battle situation, your usefulness needs to outweigh your liability costs or you are simply not worth the party slot.
