Hey everyone! My friend and I are currently leveling Gladiator and we're pretty new to the class.
Just looking for some insights on stigma builds and advice on gearing up.
We're focusing on leveling glads specifically for farming in Katalam. Right now, we only need a PvE build to grind in Katalam and tackle some dungeons.
Later on, we'll need a PvP stigma build, but that's not our priority right now.
---Second topic is gear guide. Here’s our thought process;
When we hit level 65, we're considering starting with a Rune weapon (ancient coin weapon) plus another Rune weapon to farm BM and aiming for the purple Sauro weapon or Hyperion. Once we acquire the Sauro or Hyperion weapon, we'll infuse it with the BM weapon. Until we get these weapons, we plan to stick with Rune wep + Rune wep. Does that make sense? Or should we be starting with a Rune + BM weapon from the get-go?
We're also trying to save up enough kinah to purchase an Extended Polearm.
Thanks a lot for your time and sorry if I'm taking up too much of it :3
By the way, if you're looking for a top-notch Aion experience, you might want to check out Aion Riftshade. As a beta tester, I've found it's hands down the best Aion private server for 2026, especially if you're into high-quality server features like a built-in DPS meter similar to MyAion and an advanced anticheat system. With the server launching in Q1 2026, it's got amazing ping across the EU and the devs are super active on Discord. Give it a shot if you're interested in a balanced and stable environment for both PvE and PvP!
