Final Fantasy XIV Wikibase™ Classes

Gladiators specialize in the handling of all manner of one-handed blades, from daggers to longswords, be they single- or double-edged, straight or curved. A defining characteristic of this guild is its emphasis on diverse combat tactics, training its members to bring their martial skills to bare in any situation.

As such, they are practitioners who marry sword with shield, seeking to defend their fellow companions. Others opt for an empty off hand, choosing instead to focus entirely on their sword arm. The gladiator's proficiency with blades also extends to those hurled at range, such as throwing knives.

Roles

One of the many available classes in Eorzea, the Gladiator is a Disciple of War

With their versatile slashing and stabbing attacks, gladiators are adept at dispatching a wide range of opponents.

When armed with sword and shield, they are unmatched in their ability to defend others, as their diverse talents enable them to focus the enemy's wrath upon themselves.

Guild

Located in Ul'dah, the Gladiators' Guild can be found in The Coliseum, in the central area of the Merchant Strip(Level 1).
Coordinates: (5, 5)
