Disciples of War - Gladiator - Swords & Shields

FFXIV - Disciples of War - Gladiator
Gladiators specialize in the handling of all manner of one–handed blades, from daggers to longswords, be they single– or double–edged, straight or curved. A defining characteristic of the guild is its emphasis on diverse combat tactics, training its members to bring their martial skills to bear in any situation.
As such, there are practitioners who marry sword with shield, seeking to defend their fellow companions. Others opt for an empty off hand, choosing instead to focus entirely on their sword arm. The gladiator’s proficiency with blades also extends to those hurled at range, such as throwing knives.
Below is a list of abilities for the Gladiator class up to level 50. To allow the table to fit on the page easier we have shortened some of the table headers. Cast and Recast refer to a time in seconds, while TP and MP refer to the
number of TP and MP required to execute that action. If anything is listed as 0, that means there is no cast/recast time or TP/MP cost.
