Yeah, I'm the dense one when 4+ other people continue to point out how you're wrong.

I'm well aware how both Gellius and Solano work. I have both and religiously use my maxed Solano when I need to worry about cost more than constant AoE DPS (in which case, I use Garania). I don't use Gellius because nothing on our server calls for his level of tanking that I can't substitute with Bernice, Lilia, or Karma if needed.

The fact that you think Gellius, a unit that NEEDS ranged support to accomplish anything, is better than a hybrid duelist/ground AoE anti-swarm unit, speaks volumes about your logic.
