PVP Doubts - New Player

Hello, I’m a new player, just started the game
My main charg is a Dragoon, focusing on PVE…
But, I’d like to have a character focused on pvp, so I’d like some tips about what are the best ranks to use it and why.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Unlike PVE, PVP requires substantial amount of block penetration, accuracy, and HP which is currently quite challenging to balance with physical classes.

PROS:

  • Easier stat management (max lvl initiate gives +800 block penetatration)

  • High burst (Acrobat Mount > Crush > Quintain, is stronger than dragoon’s dragonfall)

  • High mobility and gap closing (w/ mount, trot and steed charge, rhongmiant can engage and disengage in combat)

  • Decent CC (through joust, impale, iron hook and knockdowns)

CONS:

  • Essential buff uptime is not 100% (acrobat and initiate has downtime)

  • No AoE

  • Narrow hitbox

  • Can’t use shield on engagement since lancer skills are 2H spear locked

Thank you for the help, I was actually thinking about going this way
What do you think would be best for the stats, High STR or All around?
Or is Dex better?

Stat will depend upon your gearing method. Ideally you would want 100K+ HP 350+ accuracy , the higher the better. Thus, mix STR and CON, you will not need DEX unless you specialize a build.
