Lets say Gladiator does unlock Dark knight in the futur and you need a Thaumaturge as the other to unlock it. So we now have a Dark knight with a shield. why a shield? Cause Gladiator is the man class which will equip the job stone and uses shield abilities.

Not to mention the Dark knight will be a tank do to the traits of the Gladiator. Ok so its a tank I can live with that. But besides the 5 job abilities it has and the few it gets from Thaumaturge it will play very similar to Paladin do to Gladiators abilities be the ones you use 90% of the time.

But I do agree with you carlosx they do need to rethink the system so its not just a skin.
