Gladiator skill bar

Take the MP-restoration specialty first.

Choose MP reduction while the loop is resource-limited.

Use the kill-reset option for quest packs when available.

Choose absorption for difficult solo pulls.

Absorption is the survival alternative to damage.

Use during a real stagger window; it cannot replace the ordinary boss loop outside that condition.

A reactive control follow-up. Keep encounter immunity in mind even though the source lists guaranteed NPC rooting.

Use for grouped enemies. Choose extra damage or HP recovery according to your current sustain.

Return to melee after dodging only when the destination is safe.

A control follow-up, especially for PvP; do not prioritize it over reliable PvE damage.

Establish its offensive buff before the main damage sequence. Watch the movement attached to the attack.

Keep separate from damage inputs for a deliberate escape.

A safety investment for learning or sustained incoming damage.

More useful when you are actually taking frontal attacks than while safely attacking from behind.

A core early sustain passive for soloing and tanking.

An offensive investment alongside your damage-amplification passives.

A high-priority early passive with both offense and durability.

Develop after the basic damage and sustain package is functional.

Exploit actual control/stagger windows; it is not unconditional damage on every boss hit.

Useful when tanking. Coordinate the overlapping buff with a Templar.

A control-heavy encounter or PvP investment; retain an active control break too.

Maintain attack uptime to trigger the stacking cycle.

No Shards allocated in this preset. A control/mitigation option; its stagger contribution is reduced in the official description.

Learn at rank 1 once unlocked; establish the four-slot kit before raising this Stigma. Align with a safe attacking window and the rest of your offensive buffs.

No Shards allocated in this preset. A control-resistance flex rather than a default damage slot.

No Shards allocated in this preset. A damage/debuff flex when the group does not need another defensive Stigma.

No Shards allocated in this preset. Reserve for a dangerous window. Its duration differs between reviewed regional descriptions; do not chain it blindly with party immunity.

Learn at rank 1 once unlocked; establish the four-slot kit before raising this Stigma. Swap in when self-sustain is the problem; use while targets are available to hit.

No Shards allocated in this preset. Use before the follow-up window. Its attack reduction does not stack with Templar Taunt's corresponding debuff.

Learn at rank 1 once unlocked; establish the four-slot kit before raising this Stigma. Keep enemies in range; it loses value while you are forced away from the pack or boss.

No Shards allocated in this preset. A control-oriented flex, with encounter immunities checked separately.

No Shards allocated in this preset. Situational pressure and multi-target utility rather than a required single-target opener.

No Shards allocated in this preset. Use as a planned engage; do not let an automatic dash move you into a hazard.
