Tatoos for a Glad

Player Questions Started Last reply 18 posts
Ok, after reading a bit on tatoos, it seems that there are 2 main types of tatoo sets for glads.

PVE: Pure str/dex, -8 con
PVP: Pure con, - w/e str.

I was kinda thinking on how to deal with the tatoos. I wanna build my glad focused on pvp, but i don´t want to absolutely suck in pve. I was considering get +2 con - 2 str, +2 dex -2 str. Is that worth it? Please, give me your ideas :)!
My opinion on this:

Me personally I got a +3str -3con. This brings my str to 43, my con to 40. I was going to do another +3dex -3con, but I decided not to because of the rumors going around about staying at 40 or more with con and str (added bonus if your stats are 40+). Things that i noticed with this setup? Since I dropped my con I can carry less, and seeing how I carry blunt,duals,bow, armor, accesories, soulshots, healthpots, beast shots, arrows, etc., there is no room for doing -con again.

But I have seen many people do and say to do -8con and they manage but it is that the -8con setup is for pve since you dont need a lot of hp with mobs, while in pvp you need con and your specials.

I don't really care what other people say. My setup to me is great. And now all I need to find is a +5wit-5int and I'm all set. I am not messing with con, str, or dex anymore than what I got now (+3str-3con).
You answered your own question in your post.

Do you want to do PVE or PVP?

With Glads you need to make a choice. Try to go down the middle like your second suggestion and you will suck at both.

IMHO you are behind the 8 ball with PVP anyway.

I am set up as PVE until I can get to Riposte. Then I go PVP.

Probably still get owned, but I chose the char.

** Side, go +4WIT -5 INT as well. It really does help.
You shoul add +4 dex - 4 int = that's for sure! And also add CON...this will help.
where can I get one of those + dex - int tattoos? lol
Sorry - still new to this. I thought one could make ANY +/- parameters in the game. Sorry.

Afaik they don't exist.
Lol people are so quick to correct someone, yet not offer advice to the problem at hand :p.

To the original post, if you have the adena or ancient adena (mammon trader) do what you suggested to do in the first place +2con+2dex-4str. Look at your stats before and after and if you don't like it simply remove the dyes and do something else. But get that +4wit-4int if you can.
I'm personally going +5 STR -5 CON and +4 MEN when they realize it's only fair to let fighters adjust MEN if mages can alter their CON.

4 DEX isn't worth taking another 4 CON off for in my opinion.

You mean C11 or C12 (Age of Dwarves :D) ?

I don't think there will be any gladiators then if they continue to nerf them every chronicle.
Ok so... I should get a STR build to lvl faster then switch to CON in case i want to pvp with my glad.
Is that correct?

And also, whats the augmentation on HP/PTAK/SPEED/ASPD provided by each + of the dyes?
Thanks again!

You can calculate it yourself here.



That's an awesome site, but for someone with less computer literacy it will get confusing very fast lol. Just look at the first sentence where the formula is, get a pen, write your stats and multiply. That's what I did. If theres a part you dont know like the multiplier, go down and see your weapons speed if it's a atk. spd you need, or whatever. That way it gets simpler.

I have yet to test it fully and see how accurate some of those formulas are because when I'm home and have time I like to play, not do math :D.
Yes. Do str for fighting mobs until higher lvl, then at higher lvl (I would start to pvp after 55 when you get triple sonic slash), then you might switch for the pvp version of +con :p.

Edit: Make sure you know about dyes first. When you take a dye off, you only get 5 back, not the 10 you put in. So be aware of that.

Edit2: If your already over 55 and still have the dyes to go +STR do it anyway. You might end up loving it and no wanting to do +con. Humans have the second highest con to begin with so your set. But in the end it's your decision.
Well i have +4dex +5str -8con with tallum i am running around with 33 con. Lionheart fixes any stun problem in pvp.
With tallum i have 620 attack spd with duelersprit i have 670.
When using this set up i would use a bow i use +3 sb slow but have 2.3k p attack with warcry so make for good pvp and lvling. And when using duels i have 1046 and almost 1.3p attack with duels. Well when i hit 78 going hp gladi whit s grade duel good for pvp but not so good for pve. well hope this helps

I have +4 str +2 dex -6 con and +4 wit -4 int tats, I am fairly happy with the set-up. For most PvP a +srt/dex gladi is normally better then a +con gladi, unless you do like 1v1 in the arena or for hero compitition.
i thoroughly enjoy playing a +5dex +4 Str -9 con glady....
