Shorah!

Hi there, I've just started playing vanguard and I wondered where I should be sticking my attribute points for a DreadKnight?

From TentonHammer:

Dexterity, constitution, and strength are the Dread Knight's primary attributes. Dexterity helps the Dread Knight evade or mitigate damage. Constitution gives him plenty of life points and higher resistances. Strength enables the Dread Knight to do enough damage to keep the attention of enemies.

There is no one right way.  Depends on how you want to set-up your DK.  You can always reallocate by visiting a NPC in New Targonor.  I know I've re-spec'd my Blood Mage 3 times already at level 50 ;)

If your computer can run "Vanguard" now, you will not have to upgrade it for another 12 years!

For leveling/normal group purposes I would go with Str>Dex>con, (I used crafter rare armor up to 50). Now if you are talking raiding then Con>Str>Int hands down (You will have raid buffs and probably Swamp armor/Leucent gear by then to make up for deficiencies).

 

Some people debate it with the APW builds but health is everything in there (unbuffed should be over or at 8k 13k or very close to it with raid buffs).

On a note some people opt also as a DRK to have even point distribution between Int and Dex.

With GUpdate 6 and the way ratios for hate and mele damage will be changed, what I described may not even be a pure viable for DRK (especially if they fix the double damage on crit with two handers).
