Gladiator Attribute Build

[Andrien]

I did 20dex 20vit 5mnd.

I tend to miss a lot on mobs that is level 59. I might put more into DEX when I get a chance.

[Darkscorpion]

I did 23 vit , 17 dex, 5 str

[Riann]

Good work Fraenir.

So, it seems like it would be better to dump points into VIT and DEX and load up on STR/MND gear.

[Velhart]

Nice work, I believe I am going 20VIT/20DEX/5MND also on mine. It seems to be the best way to go.

I did like most of you , 23VIT/22DEX , but regarding the patch notes they advise MND/STR o_O

That was for damage bonus

[Shenten]

but damage means more enmity. Survivability vs enmity ? Given the tests with STR and MND and the low return , I'd stick to VIT/DEX then. I would have gone VIT/MND if the MND really improved the cure effect,which seems not to be the case.

[Andrien]

I went DEX over MND for more shield blocking

[Shaedhen]

but damage means more enmity.

But I don't think damage should be your main tool to generate enmity as a GLA/PLD in the future. And as long as your DDs don't go crazy on the mob right from the start, you should be ok with keeping hate.

I went with VIT and DEX too.

[WillRiker]

I whored out Piety then split the remainder into STR and MND. I figure, I am on GLA for tanking, not damage potential. And while I have many skills against physical attacks, I only have Decoy to use against Magic damage.

With 1 VIT = 1 HP and
With 1 MND = 1 MP

I focused on Piety for the Magic Evasion.
