Dreadnought
From Warlord·Melee AoE / Polearm
01
Overview
Dreadnought is the polearm frontliner: wide swings, stun pressure, and party-friendly AoE. Oasis leans into that identity — no longer slows you, no longer tanks your Atk.Spd, lasts 5 minutes, and PvP Mastery is strong (+20% PvP attack with solid PvP defenses). now scales with attack speed and also cuts enemy M.Atk.
You live in the thick of packs and sieges. Position for pole angle coverage, keep honest, and use as a real second life (usable at any HP on Oasis).

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Best-in-class physical AoE / pole coverage
- Strong Oasis PvP Mastery and +40% PvE damage
- Mobility and stance QoL (, Parry) remove old self-nerfs
- land rate improved
Cons
- Single-target vs duelists/Titans can feel slower
- Pole positioning matters; bad angle = wasted swings
- Still dies if you overextend without healer/buffer support
03
Power Drivers
STR
Primary: P.Atk and pole skill power. Every Howl and swing scales with physical attack
DEX
Secondary: Atk.Spd (also Howl cadence on Oasis), hit rate, and crit chance
CON
Survivability: HP so you can stand mid-pack and finish AoE cycles
Atk.Spd
Faster autos and skill reuse between pole swings; pair with STR, not instead of it
P.Atk
Skill scaling for Warlord-line damage. Enchant the polearm early

How to Play
PvE
Face packs so poles hit maximum targets. Cycle Howl → AoE skills → autos. Ideal farming engine with PvE Mastery.
PvP
Zone control and peel. Stun Blast openings, Howl mages, Parry when focused. You are AoE melee / disruptor, not a pure assassin.
06
Ability Tree & Progression
On Oasis, after level 80 you spend Ability Points (via .abilities) across three shared trees — Knights (defense/HP), Warriors (physical survivability + light P.Atk), and Wizards (magic survivability + light M.Atk/Cast.Spd). You get 26 points total; trees are not class-locked. Row unlocks use total points spent. Reset costs 10M Adena.
Prioritize: Warriors + Knights for HP/P.Def and weapon wards. Light Might if you want more pole punch. Skip Wizard tree.
07
Gearing & Itemization
Polearms with Focus/Haste/Damage. Heavy armor for sieges. Stack STR, Atk.Spd, HP. Enchant weapon → armor.
