Real DD Capability for Gladiator!

[Conbadicus]

To be honest, I mostly see gladiators with chain anyway.

Gladiators do have access to a shield which allows for the tanking ability of guard, which allows for phalanx which ultimately increases DPS, mitigates damage, and increases enmity. Gladiators aren't DDs, plain and simple. They are tanks. They can dps, but regardless of armor, skillwise the glad just doesn't have the balls to compete. I can stack buffs from other classes and use a WS and get relatively high dmg compared to another class, but other classes will simple out dps me in the end. etc, you know how it goes.

And with dual-wielding/two-handed weapons, you'd lose the ability to carry that shield.

Right, but if the glad is going to DPS, give em a DPS weapon and some DPS skills, and have another glad tank. Ever had 2 or more glads in a party? its like a waste of space. One is tanking, one might take over if the other sucks or theres multiple mobs, and the third is like half a mrd in dps. How about making one the tank, and give the other 2 some claymores.

You wouldnt really need DPS skills to be added. That is why you rank up other jobs ^^. Your class goes in whatever direction wish depending on what skills you set from the variety of classes. You could make your gladiator a total AOE destroyer if you wished by adding select aoe attacks from various classes. Add Circle Slash, Brandish, Aura Pulse, etc. Think outside o teh box.

Actually, I think it would be cool to have some 2-hand only TP skills for the gladiator, as well as for CON and THM.

Stop making sense, it's annoying.
