Actually its funny that 97% of the people will go gladiator for PvP most being full STR not thinking that a Full STR Knight might outlast a full STR gladiator
If you become a full STR knight you get the shield and 1h + the perks of being able to go invincible and block two attacks
But thats just my thoughts on things xD, I'll have fun with my decision since i have 4 fighters >_> 3 of them being 80+
