I can say the description has certainly updated to reflect that change. There is no longer such a clause as gladiators being empty off handed on the official site anymore. So I can only assume the role is gone.
Oh well, Two handed swordsmen will come eventually. And I have taken a liking to the immortal flame shields. They're short, they glow, and they've got blades attached to them. I can drink to that(If I drank that is). Alas that'll mean I'm forever locked away from possessing the Twin Addler's axes huh? That's the only axe with a large enough blade for my liking.
