Dear,Do you become a Gladiators in ffxiv , so my first fencing to ask you a few questions, to check whether you for this profession:
I - do you think the value of individual or group of important value?
If you choose to individuals, so sorry, Gladiators doesn't suit you.
II - shield and sword, which is more important?
If you choose to sword, so sorry, Gladiators doesn't suit you in ffxiv. While the Gladiators was fencing swords, but you are the whole team left shield of life.sword can afford, and carried off to the sharp words, shield sword is useless.
III- you like all things in front foot, positive charge, or behind or support behind sneak attack?
Obviously, the Gladiators is an avant-garde fencing, shield against any resistance: don't you. Mage baa...
IV- do you work like a horse, or eyes in the back of his head, keep fighting monsters, GunBing record of safety and teammate?
Fencing division (include after service of senior vocational) a broader view to shield the control ability is very important in some 5 star task, often also met several enemy assault, if allow one strange, hit two basic defender, the second team, collapsed.
V- do you have enough time to practice, keep your SOLO in the server leading level?
Although Gladiators is the soul of teams in ffxiv, but his level must SOLO to ascend (do not ask me why, asked SE). But in the new serve beginners division and other monsters concentration SOLO, Gladiators obvious at a disadvantage rob monster, if you can't keep lead, your professional level is barely up.
VI - finally, your network is normal, and keep green ping?
If you always ping yellow, even red so sorry, Gladiators isn't suitable for you, because of the SE hasn't made automatically attack, and fencing etc of square behind me about skills (will) for rapid response ability request is very high.
