I see lots of farming threads for warriors stating gladiators armor as a requirment... I don't understand why. Aren't all armors the same?

Before the insignia system applied to tyrian armor, gladiator armor was the set that granted extra energy.

They're simply outdated.

Gladiators used to be all stuck with Radiant Insignas (+Energy). However, now, you just craft the armor, and you can personally choose which runes/insignas to put on it.
