Assassin becomes quite powerful. They got +1 to venom and that gets increased to +2 in Act 3. If you link the venom damage with other effects like disease and barbs and thorns then assassin can do insane passive damage like +7 a round even when they aren't hitting. With high speed and brawn = GOD MODE

Is the assassin really that powerful?
I mean, if you're a rogue , you are going to end the combat quickly, not wait until the pioson kills an ennemy. But i don't know about the boosts in act 3( maybe i'm missig something important?)

I've reverted back to my gladiator. I like a challenge so gonna see how it goes. A high brawn build with some good speed winners and it could work...... perhaps....

I love my cavalier But would have preferred an inquisitor if I could have got it!

My preferences would be:
1: Inquisitor
2: Berserker
3. Ranger
4. Cavalier
5. Gladiator

Berserker and ranger are interchangeable I think. Berserker probably more likely to do high damage, the ranger more likely to win combat rounds.

so what is the best career for warriors? I've swapped gladiator for ranger but wondering about the other three careers. Which is best for damage? Sounds like berserker from other posts but inquisitor sounds powerful too and a few people have opted for ranger.

I keep ranger into final act. I like the speed powers of the ranger, good for setting up wins and combat moves

What career did you settle on Blazzor? I'm considering playing through again to try berserker and inquisitor.

gladiator sucks but no big deal. warriors get plenty of choice with other careers. its been tough choosing between ranger and berserker.. and i probably have same tough choice with cavalier and inquisitor.

I agree Star. They would benefit from perhaps a boost in act 3. Something that gives them a bigger benefit from blood rage like +1 speed and +3 brawn. I noted that pyromancers and assassins get boosts in act 3 (like they need it!) My opinion is that the gladiator is just an entry level one to get you to ranger or beserker. I struggled in act 2 with gladiator. It took me long time to defeat some of the harder monsters.

Didn't know there was a Gladiator career. I'm a ranger though.

I'm playing through as a warrior and I got the gladiator career thanks to some flashy swordwork and my new best friend Knuckles. (Good fighter, but frightful breath).

After the excitement of getting my new career has worn off, and now I'm in unicorn's horn I'm not all that impressed with the gladiator career abilities. I'm coming at this having played a rogue to the end, so I'm used to been overpowered and delivering huge damage bursts but gladiator seems to lack in all departments. An interrupt that does no damage and a small brawn boost IF I win two consecutive combats. Not as easy with a warrior with average speed. I think gladiator needs some loving because it feels very weak next to other careers. I suppose it is the warrior version of the pickpocket and achemist but they have some good abilities that help you later. I don't see what the gladiator has to offer. Any thoughts from fellow warriors?
