Well I only speak from my experience. The best gladiator all go for damage, the best tanker usually go for shield + 1h (usually Magic atk). In theory you can also try to go full vit with 2h (+300vit = +150def, with 20k+ hp), but in practice low physical attack tanker (who can't heal) isn't really suit for this game in terms of pvm (slow leveling/farming), gvg/tower war(opponents can easily restore their hp from your low damage by simply taking pills, whereas you don't offer much such as magic damage to attack their weakness or any healing) and pvp (no chance to beat high damage high crit players, perhaps good against magician or other low hp class). You may suggest him to try to be first person to become OP trying this new path, but it won't be easy road for him.
Point is, the benefits from being a gladiator, is easy farming and leveling (high damage kill faster). In gvg/tower war, reason all top gladiators go for damage is to kill you instantly without letting you having enough time to take pills and recover your hp.
