Small warriors.....do they have a chance?

[Cynaidh]

Does anyone find small warriors to be successful? I know i read somewhere small warriors get a defensive bonus. I looked in the Slave Market this morning and this guy was setting there for 995 gold...looks like he will make one heck of a theatrics but so small....

it was a discussion on size in this thread:http://forum.pitofwar.com/showthread.php?360-Biggger-is-better-small-is-useless.
think its been some minor changes to small gladiators after that. theyre supposed to get some defense bonus. but i still think the lack of hp, and ability to wear some decent armor hurt to much.

can you see your base defense anywhere? right now all I can see are the bonus's from equipment. it would be nice to see how much I get from size, AGI and abilities

So has nate changed the game a little so small gladiators have a fighting chance? Example those in the 60 size range to 70size? i know below 60 size is not worth it if the other stats dont make it up like higher strength and stam

As strange as it may sound, ragers are the speciality with the best shot at being successful as small. Thats soley due to the fact that they need to carry least armor. Size in the 60 range is not that small and plenty great gladiators has that size. But the bigger you are the more health and carrieing capacity you get, and both are extremely important for your gladiator.
