Well, Physical Defence reduction and Knock-downs are our strengths. And alot of Physical power ups too

Got a 1000 evasion debuff too on ankle snare but it's on a 2 min CD.

We had a group of 2 clerics, 1 chanter, 1 sorc, 1 sin, and me in arena with my Bragging Tokki's Off Hand Sword - Items - Aion wasn't a thing that could stop us except for boredom when people stopped coming in.

Poor people, bet most of them was coming into the arena for that lame quest

They had to earn it.

True enough, remember when i did it. It hurts when 5-6 people hit you.

It feels like the complete opposite of what I have always played in MMO's probably because it is! Always been a squishy and was one of the people trying to keep as much distance as possible healing and range dpsing. Its a lot of fun to be able to start out a new game with a completely different outlook.

And yay! Hack and slash!

i'm throughly enjoying playing a gladitor, it is slightly different to what i usualy play in mmo's but i love the fact i can take a decent amount of damage and knockdown people.

*thumbs up* for them and can't wait for the next beta testing. Getting fustrated that i can't play it now

I had a hard time choosing between Templar & gladiator.. after seeing the pictures of the weapons in 1.5.. I've made my decision... Although I like tanking, I like to fight even more.. lol

The 2-handed swords in Aion look great..

Also I enjoy playing heavy armor classes.. You can take a lot of damage before you die.. which sometime makes it a lot more fun..

Takes some hits and can hurt you.

Like a lot of the other guys here, I always seem to naturally lean towards plate-dps in any mmo i've ever played. Same with this last CB event. I jumped in not knowing very much about the game. Instinctively started a warrior and then advanced him to Glad with out a thought. Guess its just in my blood. :-)

Staying power. They can get into the middle of a group and mix it up while doing very good damage. We can also swap on a shield if we start to get focused on which adds even more and makes it so much easier for our team to react. The Gladiator to me in this game isn't the severe DPS class that it was in some other games, but it is a very well rounded class that fits in well in terms of team balancing. Sure I could roll a Sin and do godly single target DPS or Caster and stand int he back and deliver but thats just not my play style really. Even as a rogue style class in other games I was always in your face when i fought. Gladiator allows me the opportunity to do that and stay around long enough to make it count.

Skills flow together very well and overall it feels like a strong class. Even if our forte isn't 1v1 it's not like this game will always be 1v1 combat.

Sorry it looks like this turned out to be a collage of different thoughts.
