Gladiator

Gladiator
Aside from castor weapons, gladiators can use all the weapons. They have high attack and can wear plates, boasting a high defense. With the two they are able to fulfill their role, fighting the enemy in the frontlines.

If Assassins can be specialized in 1:1 battles, Gladiators can handle both 1:1 and 1 against many. Whilst they do not have as high damage as assassins or sorcerers, they have defense second only to templars.

Gladiators have no problem soloing thanks to their many attack skills and high defense. They also have a diverse selection of weapons, allowing them to switch weapons depending on the situation.

However they have no way to heal themselves thus they must always keep an eye on their HP. Duel wielding swords or using great sword or halberd is also a good idea. However if you duel wield you may be able to achieve high attack at the cost of not being able to use certain skills and unless the swords improve your attack speed, it won’t be as impressive a gain.

Gladiators also shine in party play thanks to their AoE skills. Not only that but they are able to tank if the situation calls.

Whilst some may bring up the fact that gladiators are out dps'd by sorcerers and assassins and templars have higher defense, if a gladiator knows the skills available to him and choose his weapons wisely the ability of a gladiator will surely impress. Gladiator's performance is also highly influenced by their equipment.
