Understanding Game Classes in Aion - The Gladiator

In the game of Aion, if you begin a character as a Warrior, once that character reaches Level 10 and gets his wings you can choose to make him into a Gladiator. This is a Daeva who follows the Star of the Sword, with the Elysean Gladiators following the Empyrean Lord Nezekan, who watches over justified wars, and the Asmodian Gladiators serving the Empyrean Lord Zikel, lord of destruction and slaughter.

The Gladiator attains a vast array of deadly battle skills and masters many different weapons. But accuracy and power during attacks are the hallmarks of the Gladiator--not wow boostoff. This character has great value as the member of an allied legion and as a solo player who is engaged in in-fighting.

One of the greatest weapons of the Gladiator is the Polearm, which not all characters can wield with great effectiveness. They can use the Polearm in melee fighting and attack multiple enemies simultaneously. Gladiators can also increase their ability to withstand damage through the use of Plate Armor.

So, the Gladiator has tremendous force which is enhanced through the use of many different weapons while also being very tough and able to take much, much damage. But this character is the polar opposite of the Templar: while that latter Warrior-upgrade is primarily concerned with absorbing and mitigating damage, Gladiators are there to deal it out. This means that when you play this character you have to watch yourself and not bite off more than you can chew by trying to take on too many enemies at the same time. But, it's true that within a melee (or even solo) thepolearm weapon can be used to sweep multiple foes off their feet, and then the Gladiator or his allies move in for the kill.

This character can take on many different roles within a group due to the array of weaponry and armor that can be wielded by him. Tanking one-on-one, dealing damage far and wide, or interfering with multiple enemies so that allies can kill them are all roles that Gladiators can take. They can use the polearm, the two-handed great sword, or two different weapons at once.

However, nobody's perfect. This character doesn't have the best recovery skills once hit. So if you play this character it is very important for you to pay close attention to your health and to how many enemies you are allowing to hit you. Normally the Gladiator carries a shield, but sometimes in single combat you'll want to discard it for the sake of going on an all-out attack--typically this character's best defense. Within group play, Gladiators can greatly increase enmity and they have an "area of effect" which makes them invaluable on offense while not interfering with their allies.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
