Hello!
First off, I really miss gladiator stance, not because it was op or very good but because i think it´s thematically a really cool and fitting stance for the warrior fantasy. Im a huge fan of gladiator history and there is no other class that it fits better to have an ability based on than warrior. I also miss the ability to able to deal decent damage with a shield and 1h it´s just such a cool fantasy that simply isnt represented in the game.
I was really hoping hero talents would bring this back and i even heard that colossus was supposed to be gladiator hero spec but for some reason it was scrapped.
Can we please have this talent reintroduced for example as an arms / colossus talent?
Gladiator Stance
*You enter a focused combat stance that allows you to wield a shield in your off-hand and a one handed weapon in your main hand, increases your chance to parry incoming attacks by ( x%) and increases your critical strike chance by (x %)
The increased parry chance would pair well with current stormwall talent to give warriors some self sustain and also give us a worthy choice over ignore pain , (it also fits a gladiator to parry attacks) The increased crit would synergize well with arms and colossus regular kit very well and maybe make crit a worthwhile stat in pvp again which I know many people miss. You don´t even have to make a lot of new abilities for this to work, the rotation could be something like, shield slam, mortal strike and execute. Just being able to dish out heavy shield slams already makes me excited for this lol. If i could dream though it would evolve into a whole subspec with unique abilities but for now I would just take the stance and sword and board dps.
And i repeat it doesn´t have be extremely strong at all, just make it a choice for us please!
