Perhaps it's a move to make the Tank move (someone else stuns a target, the Gladiator runs behind and uses WS, but still).

Maybe that explains Marauder's provoke?
Hi Nakiamiie,

Good point. That might also explain this Pugilist ability (Taunt):

Taunt - Temporarily focuses the target's attacks on you.

This certainly creates more synergy between various classes and more coordination. It makes the Pugilist very useful to turn a Mob and allow others to get in Back Attacks. So for Gladiator, I could see Pugilist using Taunt, and then get in their Weaponskill Combo.

It certainly makes things more interesting (but also more dangerous potentially). It still is a bit sad that the Gladiator's biggest weaponskills seem to be very situational, and a bit counter to their main role (to tank and gain all aggro on a mob).

But if it works w/ Taunt, this could be quite fun.
