Gladiator End Game Builds

Raging and Ferocity have zero stam usage so you can pop out that threat when ever you feel like every 30sec/1min so atm keeping those on your bars specially with AoE tanking or Uraeus tanking is very helpful. Saying this more for others who dont have a masochistic personality to lvl all classes to 40+ lol. Easier to grab raging / fero for the more time-restricted tanks

Sentinel is one of our highest threat generators atm purely from a Glad based ability stand point, saying a little threat is a lil understated just wanted to make sure others knew.

Siphon TP will work but Siphon MP / Stygian Spikes will not work on NMs at least currently(might change with new NMs/content!) so don't waste AP if you're already hurting on it, unless you have reg mobs to be your MP bitch while tanking the NM(s)

This isn't really directed at you since you have plenty of classes abilities so you losing hate while single tanking should never happen to begin with. This is more targeted for the newer tanks who don't have as wide a range of abilities to choose from.

Everything else you said I'd agree with aside from you doing BR's unless you are doing it solo or you have offtanks in case your BR takes forever. I'm used to solo tanking all the NMs atm.

Plus atm lets be honest none of the NM's are actually hard to tank currently. Was a bit sad after killing them. I leveled my glad to 50 before the SP changes/during the VIT/MND change hence why my shield is lower(idea of choosing to lvl your shield OR sword while sping was the gayest concept ever btw). Anyways I figured I'd have to haul ass to get deflection cuz the NMs would be hard but I was wrong and that made it harder to keep playing rofl.

Funny thing is, Siphon MP works on Goblin and Dodore minions at this time. Guess now NMs do too, havent seen it yet though. Didnt notice it in the patch.

Raging and Ferocity does help, but again, I got too many more useful abilities to place up on bars and I hardly need to have any of the free burst aggro. We normally run with just 2 or 3 mages, most of the time too. Normally I tank everything by myself practically anyway, but it helps the mages out if I let another gladiator tank take some aggro. I generate too much threat that its hard for the off tanks to take any off of me. That and we have no mage with both sac 3 and cure 3 atm. Goblins and Dodore is easy to solo tank. Goats not so much without a mage or two with both. Least on goblins and Dodore I can keep my emulate up for bout 55 seconds and my cooldown for it is about 1 min 10 seconds. This is with Transcendence up.

Seriously wish I could have another four maybe six ability points. Maybe more trait points too. Would be nice. Who knows maybe SE will put in some sorta merit system, eventually.

Again I dont like doing BRs, theirs really no need for a gladiator to do them. Its more beneficial to use Disorient and on full attack BRs to use Luminous spire just before they set off a BR to help the mages with their magic bursts.

Flashfreeze on Ram huh? Ima try that tonight, I knew I noticed something weird when one of the mages said he would be using it.
