PvE plan

  1. Group enemies around AoE cooldowns
  2. Swap to bleed and single-target skills on bosses
  3. Reserve mobility for mechanics, not padding damage

PvP plan

  1. Force gap-close windows after enemy disengage
  2. Layer block and sustain instead of overlapping them
  3. Avoid long chases into ranged control

Stat priority

  1. Weapon attack
  2. Critical
  3. Accuracy
  4. Weapon damage amp

Stigmas

Korean ranker adoption

  • Charge Stance92%
  • Downward Strike89.2%
  • Zikel's Blessing88.5%
  • Rage Explosion86.7%

Rotation

  1. Engage / gather
  2. Apply bleed
  3. AoE burst
  4. Sustain filler
  5. Defensive reset

Cautions

Single-target ceiling trails the pure assassins when uptime is equal.

PvP stigmas

  4. Tenaciousness

Priority

  1. Keep Ruinous Blow's 20s damage window productive
  2. Fit burst inside Zikel's Blessing
  3. Use Blade Toss before party burst
  4. Never automate Tenaciousness

Cooldown alignment beats pressing every nuke immediately; the 120-second buff is the least-common-multiple anchor for full burst. Evidence: Global client 2.0.3.0 analysis + official armory sample

Specific boss tables → deterministic craft → currency vendor

WHY

Greatsword scaling and broad uptime reward a strong weapon before luxury rolls.

Armor packageUnique set core; preserve the 2/4-piece benefit

Specific boss tables → deterministic craft → currency vendor

WHY

Preserve set coherence before taking a higher-score off-piece.

AccessoriesBoss/crafted pieces that close accuracy, crit or resistance
GET IT

Boss tables / crafting / currency shops / market

WHY

Use this slot group to complete: Weapon attack → Critical → Accuracy → Weapon damage amp.

ManastonesAttack → Critical → Accuracy

WHY

Fill functional stones cheaply, then replace one breakpoint at a time.

Soul engravingWeapon attack, crit and cleave-friendly damage
GET IT

Engraving materials / extraction / repeatable endgame

WHY

Keep a strong serviceable roll; perfection is a late, high-variance goal.

Wings + ArcanaRole damage/healing plus encounter utility

Gameplay rewards / selectors / events / disclosed probability systems

WHY

Guaranteed selectors outrank random acquisition until direct upgrades are exhausted.

ROTATION LAB / MANUAL MACRO CARD

Gladiator · GLOBAL · PvE

A priority sequence for practice and keybind planning—not a bot script. Reactive defensives, cleanses, targeting and movement stay manual.

06Rending Blow

Real-fight correction: multiply stationary output by attackable uptime, then subtract missed positionals, interrupted casts, target travel and failed control. Use five comparable fights before changing a slot.

DAEVANION OPTIMIZER

Gladiator PvE point route

Stat bonuses are part of the build calculation—not hidden combat score. Route names use the official eight-tree system; exact Global coefficients must match the live client patch.

Official system guide
POINT ORDER · Core branch
1Zikel · damage trunk
2Vaizel · uptime branch
3Nezekan · survival flex

400K action: Complete one primary trunk, then solve accuracy, survival, healing, or control breakpoints before branching.

ACTIVE BONUS PRIORITIES
CORE
PvE damage amplification

Multiplies sustained boss and cleave output.

STACK
Additional attack / critical

02

Accuracy to encounter cap

A missed heavy skill erases more value than a small damage node.

Global and Korean release differences

“Observed” means visible in the official armory today; it does not claim the item's original patch unless an official chronicle establishes it.
