Gladiator (The Hell)
From Diablo Wiki
.png)
Gladiators are true masters of melee combat. Their ability to inflict tremendous melee damage is unparalleled. They can also wield any type of weapons (including bows and staves) quite effectively. But they prefer either two weapon style or axes. Less often - bows. The biggest of Gladiators receive bonus to their damage from vitality when wielding axe. They don't use shields very much as they don't benefit from those as others, and they prefer to cause more damage than hide behind the shield.
Their stamina has incredible potential and compensates fro the lack of defense. They scorn magic and spellcasting, their magic potential is nearly non-existent, and their spellcasting speed is very low. Plus, they don't gain mana points when leveling up. They have mastered the art of protection by using their skill - Aegis, which makes them (for some time) more resilient in combat, absorbing a lot of damage from monsters in hand-to-hand combat. The protection of Aegis increases as Gladiator's base Vitality increases, resulting in more damage absorbed. The amount of damage absorbed is also reflected at the attacking monster.
