Or adjust the shield related skills to be more helpful. AB II was something I depended on quite a bit, and now it is fairly useless.
Gladiator despite how they tried to make it flexable...is no DD by any means, and I get that.

The enmity system makes it quite a pain sometimes to tank correctly on bosses...and I get that, although I wish it would change a bit to make it a tad bit easier, its fine.

But now tanking is even harder. Gladiator has had the short stick for quite a while...with launch where we had to choose to level either our sword or shield...and a few other problems in the past...the last thing they need is another nerf.
Please look into this and adjust! Thank you!
