Switching from Glad to Temp, is it possible ?

HereComesTheKraken · 09-22-2009, 04:19 AM

My glad is already 20,so, I don't really want to re-roll, so is there some quest that would make me switch over to a Templar? I like Glad but, I want to be the main tankin groups/raids.

No, have fun rolling a new toon.

No, if you paid attention you noticed when making the choice Munin says there is no turning back. Making new character only option

Just main tank as the glad. If somebody objects, throw a fit until they have no choice! Show them you are worth it!

Yep, no turning back unless you re-roll sorry mate

Bleh ! 15 temp already, not so bad, just long and painful

I been tanking group mobs 1-2 lvls above me on my glad, all you need is up to date plate armor and strategic use of rage/potions and you're just as good as a templar (If not better since you add more dps :P ).

Sure temps are a bit better at tanking, but I don't think the difference is enough to want me to give up the gladiator play style. Just get a cleric friend thats not a stupid PUG noob.

Glad tanking is fine, I tanked Fire Temple at 31, with level 37 elites beating on me. However, the templar is very valuable if for one reason only - the pull. Using the pully skill you dictate where the fight takes place. With the rooted golems, that wasn't so much an option for me as a glad, and I had to get more creative.

As far as damage mitigation, I busted out a shield, and after 5 pulls the cleric told me to take out my spear as I was taking too little damage (this was at 32).

You can tank normal parties as a gladiator but definitely not main tank raids. Basically you will have to reroll, but getting to level 20 really isn't that bad. I have a 20 templar, 17 assassin, and 17 gladiator already.

During the higher levels the Templars become walking/flying armored creatures that are insanely difficult to take down.

Gladiator's can not attain the Templar level of mitigation of damage at a higher level. Gladiator's by all means can tank some things like 5 mans and I'm sure they could even tank a raid if geared extra-well and put toward all the best chants/godstones/manastones. Though they would only be doing as well as a Templar with low-quality gear/skill/stones/chants.

Templar - Skills - Aion
These are all Templar Skills that gladiator's can not attain. Many of them are Very good defensive skills and passive bonuses.
