It doesn't go with the aesthetics of poe2 but naming the class "Gladiator" will limit ascends thematically. So we're probably stuck with duelist.
Im not familiar with the lore but wherever hes from just name em that place Swordsman.
duelist is the one who fights 1v1, usually exceling in feinths and high technique combos. In this survivor type games its just comlete bs gaslighting. Doesnt represent the gameplay at all where you explode screens.
Amen. Wtf does even “duelist” mean in a game like POE2 where you constantly facing multiple enemies at once? It’s so dorky, I hate it.

Gladiator on the other hand... That makes much more sense to me.
I would be glad to see it named Gladiator, or knight or even just fighter like in dnd.
Anything but duelist please GGG.

doesnt really matter. it s just a spread sheet game. they dont respect archetypes. if you chose skills and classes because you like an archetype like cold chrnomancer, you re gonna have a bad time.
So the name of a class makes you hate the game? There are ton other reasons to abandon the game but your problem is a not appropriate name!

Toxicity was a good song once but here is more than that....

1 duelist vs 1 screen. Everything is ok.
