i could switch to duals near a PR just to oneshot him, and i could also get 8k+ damage from another PR nearby, just like it happened in my video.
since usually it takes me from 1 to 3~4 skills max to kill a single PR( and that's shown in my videos as well ), i don't see where's the problem in playing with a shield+blunt against full PR parties, especially when my mana consumption for skills is almost the same as when i'm playing with duals, and i even get a block chance on top of evasion for better damage mitigation.
if you really had a clue about your gladi, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now, because you would already know how situational group/mass PvP can be against certain classes. i'm not even surprised you rerolled PR as well.
