GGG Teases Gladiator Class?

Looks like Kelly, new Lead Communications Manager, maybe teasing Gladiator for Content Patch 0.5? Time to start the conspiracy theories during this dry period or could just be a fun gif.

If this isn't a tease then it's one of the most un-aware posts she could make on her first day lmao.

Or maybe it's just engagement bait.
Who am I to say anything, I don't respect my time either.
yes please give us duelist and swords/axes

Gladiator would be an ascendancy btw, class is duelist

Pretty sure the artbooks says differently...

Other currently retired toons level 83-85 fitting the description above…

So far artbook was pretty accurate and it's not the only difference with POE1 classes so well might be case that wiki is just wrong

You should read he disclaimer of the wiki first. It says:

Edit: Anyways, the Gladiator is an ascendency of the Duelist in PoE1 so everyone who knows the game makes associations to the Duelist when he hears Gladiator. Just remember: It's a TEASER, they are always based on associations.

Edit edit: Would be awesome to play Duelist in 0.5. Have played him a lot in PoE1 some years ago.
HCSSF - What else?

It's the same thing with POEDB and the other sites, especially when they put out dates for leagues.

Unless you hear it from the horses mouth, it's just a rumor.
