Before I mained Templar, I climbed to Rank One as a Gladiator. This guide covers the Berserk Gladiator build I used for both PvP and PvE — the skills, playstyle, and how the class evolved across patches. It's the legacy build that still holds up.
⚡ Interactive Build
The build at a glance. For the full skill tree and to copy it into your own account, open it in Questlog.
Values here are placeholders for the interactive viewer — swap in your
real Gladiator build numbers in
builds/data/gladiator-build.json
and the layout updates automatically. The Questlog link
always has the live, complete build.

🎥 The Video Series
The Gladiator journey across the channel — from early game to endgame:
- Rank One Gladiator Build — the flagship PvP/PvE build (video above)
- Gladiator Rift & Abyss PvP — the Berserk build, updated, in real fights
- Berserk Gladiator Build (PvP & PvE) — early-game starting point
- Endgame Gladiator PvE Build (After Buffs) — where the class landed at the top end
🧩 Why Berserk Gladiator
Gladiator is a melee powerhouse, and the Berserk spec leans into raw damage and aggressive pressure. Here's what makes the build work:
- High burst potential for opening fights and finishing kills
- Strong gap-closing to stick to targets in PvP
- Sustained rotation that translates well to PvE content
💡 The build shifted after class buffs — the Endgame PvE video
reflects the current-patch version. Use the Rank One build as the foundation, then apply the endgame adjustments.
