Revamped Ascendancy Class Reveal: Gladiator
" it got buffed, oddly... ok lets be real, theres the forum hype, flavour of the week, slayer so good overleech so op... slayer is defensively garbage, in terms of ability to survive slayer is utterly shit and gladiator was so ridiculously good, kind of hard to really get my head around gladiator being significantly buffed with talk of a future slayer leech nerf from the devs. I just cant understand it. This is like that point where everyone was saying ci was shit, even tho it was as good as ci was when everyone was later saying it was so good that life wasnt even viable. This is like going back to that point and buffing ci while talking about gutting life, thats how it seems to me. I guess this is ok because you can sort of do anything to a defensive class and no one cares, theyre just gonna take inquisitor anyway because its 65% more deeps in pob? Is that the deal? Im struggling to understand buffing gladiator at all, esp buffing his block lol, of all things... |

Well that's what you get when you balance around "who is played the least". Gladiator was never weak,can't wait for the jugg buffs.

Think it's pretty bland by comparison to the other changes, but still quite functional. 100% spellblock still intact, which is really the defining node in my book.

I'm a bit disappointed somehow. All same the nodes are there, but the rearrangement has made them less attractive for any of the builds I had in mind. Of course there are workarounds, but workarounds have costs.
Similar disappointment with Berserker and Slayer. Champion doesn't float my boat, Chieftain does look interesting, though. |

I think it just feels bad because other classes are getting some of their weaker nodes merged and getting all new nodes that are quite good. (yes those classes needed that to catch up to some of the better or more played options)
In the case of the Gladiator (and even Slayer) moving the nodes around as they have feels like an opportunity cost nerf to maintain the same play style. And in comparison the small buffs the 4 point nodes received seem underwhelming in comparison. |

" Agree zerk, slayer, even worse than before. Gladiator little bit too. |

RIP MY BLOCKMAGE.
Gladiator Painforged having Stun Immunity kills Cast When Stunned :( Champion having Stun Immunity on Fortify kills Cast When Stunned :( Arctic breath bloodsplosions it is then I need more purple titles

Feels good that Riposte will feel a bit more impactful now. Also that 25% more bleeding damage will further negate the drawback off from Crimson Dance Keystone which makes me feel very happy.
Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.
