Gladiator Stat Priority
- Attack: Every hit is area damage, so raw attack scales the most.
- Critical: Big two-handed swings make crits count.
- Accuracy: Misses waste your slow, heavy swings, especially on bosses.
- HP: You stand in melee range; a buffer lets you keep swinging.

How to Play Gladiator
- Pull groups of mobs together before you swing: your damage is best against packs.
- Use your durability: you can take a few hits other damage dealers can’t, so fight through instead of kiting.
- Keep your main area attacks at the skill level breakpoints first (see the levelling guide).
PvE
Excellent open-world levelling and farming. In dungeons, clear trash packs quickly and stay behind bosses.
PvP
Strong in group fights where enemies bunch up; weaker against ranged classes that keep their distance.
Strengths
- Strong area damage for packs of mobs
- Durable for a damage dealer
- Easy to learn
Weaknesses
- Melee only: has to chase ranged enemies
- Less single-target burst than an Assassin
