I feel like I made my point, joke or not. I could go further into how women are not taken seriously as gamers, but like I said this is not the proper place to debate this. The point has been made, we don't wish to drag this out further.
Off-and-on, I've really been feeling a lack of usefulness as a Gladiator. I'm pretty good at AoE and off-tanking, but when it comes to situations in PvP where AoE is truly called for it, it's also usually suicide.
I don't know, maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but I'm feeling like I'm either missing something or Gladiators don't really contribute anything to group PvP that any other class couldn't do better.

I've heard from multiple people that Gladiators are in need of a PvP buff. We'll see a balance patch soon enough, once the devs get an idea of what actually needs work.
Don't bother to respond though, I'm not really keen on wasting my time with and idiot/liar.
Clearly you're the idiot here. If you don't have a shield you can't block, and thus it doesn't matter what your block value actually is because you won't be able to block anyways which is the same as having a block value of 0.
Maybe you didn't get it since you don't know what essentially means here:
Also, just because the chanter can heal doesn't mean it's a "healer class". It's actually a hybrid class, one of the aspects of which is healing capability. As was stated earlier in teh thread the chanter is not a main healer, and therefore not necessarily a huge deal if they die in the pull process. What class would you suggest range pulling? a ranger? awesome leather wearer that will probably die in 2 shots. sorc or sm? will do too much damage with the pull making it difficult for the tank to pull off of them, also a cloth wearer that will probably die in 1 shot. assassin? glad? cleric? lol?
And honestly I don't care what your next attempt is at being right, since that's all you're trying to do here. You're so set on being right that even if you're not (which you aren't) that you will still argue, but keep trying. It amuses me.
edit: Also I'm not sure if you've heard of something called diminishing returns so putting everything in 1 stat is a bad idea. If not you are pretty keen on looking things up so have at it.
Its like every game that has large zerg vs zerg conflicts. You rush up to get in melee, you're going to get nuked down first. Want to be safe? Stay far in the back. Small group vs group fights can be amazing fun though, we've ran into a few of those earlier and I know Moriarty was saying how much fun he was having in that.
We basically ran into a 25 elyos vs 40 Asmos fight in the middle of the teleport island, we each had "main forces" and anyone that tried to run through the middle got burned down quick. Sucked for melee, but we pushed back and forth enough to make it fun sometimes.

Yeah, I've had some time to cool down, and there was a shitton of fun with Gladiator in PvP. One could argue that I could just bow out in the large scale battles, but I think that would mean no Fortress defense/offense for me.
Anyway, it seems at least that my concern that "i'm doing it wrong" is not an issue. This is merely the weakness of melee. I think I can cope.
With Fortress offense and defense its a bit different. You can force them to come inside where you are up close and personal. It sucks for melee while doing wall fighting, but its great when they get inside and you can knock heads.

I see. That really puts me at ease about the whole thing. It's naive to think any one class is going to be great at everything, but knowing that there is a time and place for Gladiator-level intimacy makes me happy.

I find it funny how much "chick hate" there is along with the anti gay remarks on this board. Does this just mean you can't get it from either?
Everyone's thinking it, I just had the cahones to say it...
...
There are plenty of gays and chicks on this forum.
Could it be that you are seeing long running meme's and jokes that are entirely void of any real meaning?
*EDIT* I went back through the thread and looked, what the hell are you even talking about? Are you in the right thread?
Let me put this simply so some panties can be unbunched.
All I am saying is that it gets a little tiring being the butt of enless strings of jokes and I wasn't mentioning any post specifically, just a culmination of several posts along with ingame behavior. This isn't worth 20 flame posts, I said it, people commented, get over it, move on.
i'd just like to say...

man, dudes have to apply to be in your video game groups? that is Gay As Hell
While it is not a true necessity this early in the game where most people joining are coming straight from the PA Forums, it is for the long term. We already have two members that are Egyptian and speak english as a second language. If it were not for the application we all would have assumed they were 12 year old who refuse to use the Shift key and the period button. The Application is a way for us to get a quick feel for who is applying and know where they are coming from.
It is also a way to keep out players who are complete douchbags who give it away during the "interview" phase. Like those guys from Akatsuki and Witchalok. If you have those guys asking for entrance then you know right away that they'll be dead weight and assholes.
But so far no one has been turned away, and since they are all registered on the Legion forums I can get in contact with them all for things like Siege events using their registered e-mail addresses. I can also know who is playing what characters and be certain that no one has an Alt taking a slot in the Legion when we're running out of room for people.
Oh, okay, that's reasonable then. I wanna check out the Elyos side of things eventually, I'll probably roll myself a whitewing over with you all sometime.
It's also useful to weed out people who still use "that's so gay" as a prejorative.
well shit man, if you're gonna be gay about it...

My main problem with gladiator is just actually getting combos off in PVP. I mean, our MAIN combo requires you be standing still for the final hit, and our entire AE combo requires the same. "Please stand here in my giant whirling maim-pole, fair Elyos, please?"
Having said that, when I'm with buddies who can CC a little, I will curb check dudes pretty fast, and with a sword, and am apparently pretty sturdy.
I just need, like, Hamstring or something. Not a 2 minute cooldown snare and a 4 minute sprint. That is bad for anything but dueling someone, waiting 4 minutes, trying again. Other than that, in love with the class utterly.
Quick PVP story. I rifted with 2 buddies last night at like 3 AM, and aside from spawning immediately surrounded by an ocean of level 40 elites (we are 29ish), it was fantastic. We ran the whole road cutting down bots and honest folk alike, which ended with us saying "ok let's stop and fight the 5 guys chasing us now" Which of course ended up being 5 kazillion. So fun.

Just run the delivery quests from the teleporter over and over and over and over and over and over
I've been known to use "that's so gay" before, but only as a general perjorative. Never meant it in the GLBT sense.
What I find more sad is that people can't accept that words gain new meanings over time, despite the fact that gay only meant "happy" 40 years ago. Yet using the same word as a general perjorative is somehow automatically discriminatory.

Know what sucks, Level 23-25 (assuming 25 is when life sucks less).
Ran out of quests, so now Im limited to grind grind grind...
Not a fan...not a fan at all.
If you're Asmo, try heading to Brusthonin, buncha quests there your level if you've cleared out Morheim (which is impossible so I'm thinking you're not Asmodian >_>)
Are you an assassin? Because mine was, and those were bar none the worst fucking levels ever. At 25 you get super awesome, though.
Hey ya guys, mind helping a sad sad panda find his way? The Aion forums are an f*in MESS, so I couldn't get this question answered there...
WHAT is the most populated East server? I can't find or get a strait answer out of anyone, and the server stats *on the official page* only tells the number of legions, which oddly, doesn't seem to go hand in hand with the number of players.

Let me preface this by saying that Soooraah is my wife. I'm not coming here to be the "white knight" and "save her." She doesn't need me to do that, she can handle herself.
She has a valid point, women who play video games are not taken seriously. This is probably not the right place to debate this, but there are plenty of examples of this right here. Look at this from the old thread when describing the cleric class:
Do you really have to ask, really? Healbitch, rolled by girlfriends who are dragged into MMO's everywhere.
Need I say more?
Since I'm the person who made the post in question, I thought I might as well "defend" myself.
REALLY?
I just....I.....god. This hurts my brain.
Like....how? HOW? What the hell do you mean by taken seriously? Who the hell do you guys roll with?
Other then the "Holy shit GIRL" initial reactions, which is completley in jest, normal people don't really care if you're a girl, guy, gay, bi, horse, whatever. If you run with people who are actually so infatuated with their own penis that they feel the need to point out that their playing with women every 10 seconds, then you probably need to find new people to play with.
Also, using the goddamn internet to gauge how seriously women are taken in videogaming/mmo'ing/whatever is a horrible, HORRIBLE judgement call. It's the internet. It's the one of the most horrible places in the goddamn world, filled with retarded opinions.
Also, saying, "This probably isn't the place to debate this, but I'm going to throw out an out of context statement anyway and not be called out on it, since this isn't the place to debate this" is pretty much the silliest thing.
Anyways, this is silly, I don't even know why I even bothered with all that. I think the whole point is, try and use your own personal experiance and actual interactions with people, then reading forums and twitters and whatever getting slowly enraged by people saying stupid crap. Because you and your wife will go mad.

Hi, I'm Eatmosushi.
You might remember me from such pvp tutorials as,
Bubble Hearth, Stupid
and
It's a Mortal Strike Christmas, Charlie Brown!
Anyways, having to stand still for your combos to go off... now, I'm from the Ranger school, and we have a little technique called Jump Shotting.
If you've ever played Guilty Gear, it's a bit like doing a Cancel.
Basically, jump into the air, and within a moment of touching down, activate your attack skill. In the Ranger school, this causes our attack to launch without the need for any of those animation frames that you're complaining about.
Now, I haven't got much use for those over-grown can-openers you guys lug around, but I'd reccomend giving this, "jump-attack-land" method a try, you may notice that you're significantly reducing animation frames while remaining highly mobile.
Now. Is it possible this won't work? Yeah.
Will it be highly lucrative if it does work and you master it? You bet.
Will you ever beat Pikachu, the asmodian ranger? Hell no.

I've played melee type classes since 2001 in DAoC and this is just something you've got to get used to. during the initial stages of a Siege, us melee types are basically relegated to standing around and looking mean. If you've planned ahead and the game supports it, you can run a siege engine (BTW, if you're a ranged class, why the F*** are you running siege? Stop that and do something useful!)
Once the doors come down, however, everyone HAS to go through one little choke point. You know where the enemy will be and they don't have any choice about it. Without the lag-tastic collision detection of WAR, it's going to a be a Charlie Foxtrot of people running through each other in a mad effort to get to a location where they can "set up" - someplace safe from stacked AE and ranged burndown. The back-and-forth pushing is where melee comes into their own, and at that point the ranged people become unimportant; any squishy on either side that pokes their head out is pretty much instantly vaporized.
The problem (from the melee point of view) is that those ranged people are too used to being "the shit" all the time that they don't let melee take charge at the right time and one side will just overrun the other when it comes to the armor's turn. When that happens, the "busting heads" phase of the fight gets a bit abbreviated.

Had a taste of Templar, Getting a taste of Assassin right now, I think I'll try Sorcerer next maybe. Or cleric.
Then I'll decide on my perma-class. Still sticking to templar, but Assassin is pretty cool. I like dash+backstab. Or heck, killer eye or whatever and a crit backstab did like 700 damage. At fucking level 12.
Thanks for the insight, Stupid. I don't mind that I'm not going to be useful for 100% of the encounter as long as I have some important part to play in it.

Once the doors come down, however, everyone HAS to go through one little choke point. You know where the enemy will be and they don't have any choice about it. Without the lag-tastic collision detection of WAR, it's going to a be a Charlie Foxtrot of people running through each other in a mad effort to get to a location where they can "set up" - someplace safe from stacked AE and ranged burndown. The back-and-forth pushing is where melee comes into their own, and at that point the ranged people become unimportant; any squishy on either side that pokes their head out is pretty much instantly vaporized.
The problem (from the melee point of view) is that those ranged people are too used to being "the shit" all the time that they don't let melee take charge at the right time and one side will just overrun the other when it comes to the armor's turn. When that happens, the "busting heads" phase of the fight gets a bit abbreviated.
Then I'll decide on my perma-class. Still sticking to templar, but Assassin is pretty cool. I like dash+backstab. Or heck, killer eye or whatever and a crit backstab did like 700 damage. At fucking level 12.
I'll keep on keepin' on.
Singin' to the choir. I'm out as well, other than a few group quests and some gathering quests for things I can't actually gather since my skill's too low.
What I wouldn't give for a Training Camp-style instance for 20-25.
