DN is a strong class, at 99 i can make lots money with aoe with 1 iss and 1 aeore. I PL lots of mine friends without problems and sometimes i can tanl some instance.
On pvp i'm a pain for all classes, not OP but it's hard killing me easy and stuns lands a lot.
So it's a funny class but i don't think it's op like wynns or archers.
Im thinking about making DN my dual class. Would you recommend this? I'm stuck on what to make as dual I thought Elemental Summoner / Dreadnought / Duelist.
I dont care if i need to buy new gear. I am an ISS and just want a farming class that I can solo on if nobody is around. I dont like how i solo with my ISS very much.
I'm a 99 Dread, I wouldn't say that we are Over powered but we arn't under powered like we used to be. We can hold our own against most classes but to be honest with you since the diversity of classes not much for us has changed. I would say 60% of your OP comes from gear alone. As far as the money is concerned I would tend to agree with that one. I make a couple of mil an hour solo and powerleveling alts and friends with the ridiculous range of broad pull is fun and easy.
Dreadnoughts are pretty good at dealing high damage because of their - pole resistance debuff and very good at CC because of their extra stuns and extra AOE power from using a pole.
Among the Tyrrs, they are the least resilient due to a lack of Health SA (or any good SAs) but with +Con dyes you can still take good damage and deal good damage too.
You should be able to smash summoners, wizards, healers, and archers easily. isses are a pain due to angel's touch and your greater debuff reliance than other tyrrs, daggers can avoid most of your attacks and have less health to stab through than other tyrrs, and tanks can block most of your CCs and damage and if not straight take you on for DPS, reflect you down as well.
Really all tyrrs are very strong in the right hands and you can plow through any class with good reflexes.
For pve DNs are beasts because of their provoke(debuff) skills, you can make impressive train in few seconds.
R+ weapon for pve, S80 with health for pvp (the p.atk doesnt really matter) until you get red R95 or R99 weapon with double SA. Get Zaken or/and CoC stun earring, Tezza and you will be stun master :-)
Shame that AOE stuns are not working whan your oponent is knocked :-/ (hope they will fix this someday)
With decent tactics you can beat most of chars on olympiad but you depend on luck with stuns and knockdowns a lot. From my experience daggers are the pain in your ***, also 99 healers in heavy armor.
Dreadnought does nice damage if you use Broad Pull (which decreases polearm resistance) and Armor Destruction (which decreases a lot of P.def) you can use both, so imagine these debuff while you have:
Boost, AoE skills enchanted +10, and Duelist Spirit.
I wouldnt say is a bad class, is pretty funny class I wanted to make one also in a time but i decided to be a DB since skill power 5% passive :D
