Combining the devastation of melee DPS and the protection of glorious plate armor, Aion's Gladiator class is more than just damage or defense. Being a hybrid isn't easy though and this class has more than a few tricks of the trade that players will need to know.

The Gladiator has some great skill chains that can keep him rolling out the damage without pausing to take a breath and these are what you will want to focus on. Ferocious Strike sets off a couple of different chains that can easily be alternated with other skills and used regularly. Stagger the chains between your direct damage skills, stuns, and area of effect skills. If you are playing solo, watch your space around you for your AoEs if you don’t want adds. Your AoEs do nice damage but too many mobs can still be a problem.
