just had an idea i thought i’d share on the forums 
defensive stance now baseline, you take and deal 10% less damage.
gladiator stance talent replaces defensive stance talent, picking this talent upgrades defensive stance to gladiator stance.
Gladiator stance: when you have a shield equipped instead of dealing 10% less damage you deal 10% more damage instead.
just a whacky idea i had when thinking about arms in SL LOL
While I want to see Gladiator come back, it needs to be a spec of its own IMO.
You gotta make compromises to get what you want out of the devs, things gotta fit what they want from classes
I love the idea of using a shield with a 2h, swapping it on and off in combat
Been playing Neverwinter Nights 2, and there’s a feat in there for it, I think it’s called Monkey Grip
There always needs to be a balance in defensive abilities, so I don’t think you should add 10% damage, but rather reduce the debuff to 5%, and make any new shield specific abilities usable when you have the stance turned on
“While I want to see Gladiator come back, it needs to be a spec of its own IMO.”
sadly i don’t see that happening 
maybe arms could have a talent like the druid spec x affinity
talent e.g. guardian affinity that would allow arms to have gladiator stance like play style?
It could be the new berserker Stance i kinda like the idea

adding to this gladiator stance could give arms access to other prot abilities like demoralizing shout and revenge? or even shockwave !
yeh i wish
