Ultimate PvE & PvP Guide For Physician Level 70 In Dragon Nest

Physicians in Dragon Nest SEA loves to play withe deadly wild-spreading viruses. They like the idea of chipping the life of their enemies with poisonous mixed of skills along with confusion causing viruses. But, they can also be a good asset in team plays as they have healing and curing abilities.

With all these things in mind, IMO, the best skill build for a Physician is a Semi-DPS plus Semi-Support build. Based in experience and extensive research, I believe that there is no other best skill build that you can create for a Physician but this one. full support Physician would be a bad idea because it would be a waste if we don't get the destructive skills in the Alchemist skill tree. On the other hand, a full DPS skill build isn't a bad idea but it's not great too as the skills in the Physician tree is more towards survivability. So, that is why I decided to create a Semi-DPS + Semi-Supportive Physician skill build.

Now that I have explained that, let's see my Best Level 70 Physician Skill Build in Dragon Nest SEA.

Level 70 Skill Build:
Academic Skill Tree
Alchemist Skill Tree
Physician Skill Tree
Academic Skill Tree

Quick Shot- The shots are faster with the use of Kabala and it can be a good asset for Alchemist. However, increasing this skill further may not be that beneficial as the damage increment is not that significant and you will get stuck for a few seconds on its animation.

Napalm Bomb- Leave this skill to 1 also. Alchemist won't use this skill often as it uses the physical attack power.


Stun Grenade- I will give you the choice to level this skill further or to just leave it to 1. IN my case however, I level this skill high not for the damage but for the probability to stun an opponent. I usually can start a chaining combo when the stun of this skill has been activated. This skill could be a good asset in PVP.

Summon Alfredo- Get Alfredo even if you are an Alchemist. The thing is that Alfredo can aggro enemies and in PvP, he will be a big factor in winning against Bowmaster (Alfredo will received the damage from Tracking Arrows...poor Alfredo).

Alfredo Recall- Might as well as get this skill.


Auto Dispenser- Get this skill. The dispenser might come in handy in dungeons and nest. It doesn't cost any SP anyway.


Air Shot- Don't add any SP on this skill. Level 1 is enough as you don't need the damage of this skill. The only thing you need is its ability to put opponents on the ground. In short, only use this skill for utility purposes in PVP.

Wax- A very useful skill to have in both PVE and PVP. Not only that it increases your movement speed (and party), but it can also slip your enemy allowing you to lock down on them and start a chaining combo. Max this skill no matter what.

Force Out- It may be a good idea to get this skill as it uses the magic attack side but, I suggest not to get this. I prefer not getting this skill as the range is too short. Besides, I don't want to push away enemies. Instead, I want to get close at them and combo them until they die.

Bubble Bubble- The 1 seconds immovable status can let you escape in times of trouble. However, the 3 seconds immovable status is way more beneficial. I prefer to level up this skill to the point where I get the 3 seconds immovable status and besides their is no other skills in the Academic skill tree that is worth leveling than Bubble Bubble. Unlike Elemental Lord's Glacial Spike or Force User's Time Stop, there is no way a player can escape (by rapidly pressing left and right directional button) this skill when it hits them. A very effective locking skill in PVP. The only thing you should do is to perfectly aim and time this skill so it will hit a player. 

Important Notes: At close range and with multiple targets close together, I usually aim this skill to the opponent at the center as there will be additional bubbles that will burst out near the affected target and immobilize those who are close at him.  In terms of PVP, you can only immobilize your enemy for 2 seconds.

Aerial Evasion- I prefer to max this skill as an Physician. It's very useful to have especially in PVP.


Air Bomb- In my case, I have invested SP on this skill. It's really helpful in terms of PVP especially, when you are up against Acrobats and Warriors. If you can notice, Academics jumps really high when you press normal attack and when you cast Air Bomb. This skill can give you additional Air Time which you can use to avoid enemy attacks when your Dodge skill is off cooldown.

Dodge- As always, I suggest to max this skill to lower its cooldown.



Circle Bomb- Get this skill especially when you are going PVP. It will let you get back up instantly after being knocked down by an enemy.


Physical Mastery- Max this skill to increase your max HP and complete the SP requirement.



Mental Mastery- Just level 1 for prerequisite.



Mind Conquer- Max this skill to increase your mana regeneration a bit because Physician skills drains mana really fast.


Alchemist Skill Tree

Magma Punch- As a Physician, I prefer leaving this skill to level 1. You won't have the Ex version of this skill that will increase its AOE and damage as a Physician so its best to leave it to 1. I only use this skill to link my combos and at the same time, spam it to get alchemy bubbles.

Additional Detals: It can launch your target in the air when this skill hits them and most of all, a burn status will be applied to them.

Magma Wall- A very nifty skill to have. Not only that it does huge damage to enemies, but the pillars can also act as a shield for you. In addition to that, it can launch an enemy into the air once they have been hit by one of the pillar or there inside the range of the skill.

Magma Wave- One of the epic skill of an Alchemist. The burst AOE damage of this skill is extremely high that I often got kills in PVP with this one. I often deal 10,000 damage with to players in PVP with this skill alone. In addition, the cooldown of this skill is pretty fast for a level 32 skill and it adds a burn status to those targets that has been hit by this skill. And lastly, I really love this skill because you can aim it in different direction right after the casting animation. A very good skill to have which leaves me no choice but to max it. The only problem I have with this skill is when you will cast it, it wil lag a bit. :)

Elemental Bubble Charging- When you cast an Ice or Fire skill, you will gain EXTRA Alchemist bubble which is pretty valuable in this build. I got to have this skill because of the fact that it can be a big factor in build.

Cocktail- I have maxed out this skill. The reason why I did this is because I want to gain the extra damage, the cooldown reduction and as well as the increase of heal percentage buff. Just think of this:

High % boost in heal percentage= bigger chances of survivability in hard nests.
High % boost in agility and intelligence= more critical and magic power respectively.
High % boost in cooldown reduction= you can combo more often.

Important Notes: I just want to remind you that this skill consumes Alchemic Bubbles. You might want to check the description of the skill to know more about this.

Icing Punch- Perfectly paired with Magma Punch. Right after Magma Punch, you can then cast this skill by pressing normal attack or, you can use this after Dodge. In my case, I just level this skill to 1 as the damage increment is not that significant. I only use this skill to link combos and to counter-attack.

Icing Mass- You can either level this skill high or just leave it to 1. There is no significant increase in damage if you level up this skill further plus, it won't increase the slow percentage. Just use this for utility as a Physician.
Ice Palm- Not much of a good skill as the ice hand has a slow movement speed. I personally leave this skill to 1.


How to use: Usually, I use this skill when I have slowed an enemy with my Icing Mass or, right after they have slipped into my wax. If an enemy is hit by this hand, it will slow them and also, it has a chance to stun them.

Eureka- If you think the increase in intelligence and as well as the damage reduction is useful to you, then go get this skill but before doing that, take a look at this:

When you have 10 bubbles, you will gain 10% increase in intelligence and you will gain 15% magical and physical damage reduction. If you think that's significant then do get this skill but if not, skip it.

Additional Details: You can gain a maximum amount of 10 Alchemic Bubbles.

Summon Slime- The choice is yours. You can get this skill or you can just skip it. In most cases, slimes are good companions as they are more like the ducks of Engineers. But before getting this skill, take note that in PVP battles, players can easily outrun slimes as they are slow in movement speed. In addition to that, you could be in danger when you are facing a Shooting Star as they can aim for your slime and cast Pingpong bomb. However, if you can use your slime well, then there is no harm just getting 1 level for it.

Sacrifice- In my Adept skill build guide, I have said that this skill might come in handy with Physician. Well, it does come in handy but its not so great. It can heal you and your party over time for a certain small amount of HP. I prefer leveling this skill at level 6 for the 9%+2280 heal percentage so I can help my party. Anyway, I have extra SP to spend and I decide to spend it on this skill to truly stick with my build (a semi-dps+semi-support) and also, I rather spend it here than to spend on other skills in the Alchemist tree which has no significant amount of increment in damage. 

Poison Charging- Yet another skill that can be used after Dodge. A nifty skill to have as it has a suction effect in a smal radius and it can apple poison status to the enemy when it hits them. Very good skill to link combos. With the help of its Ex version, this skill can be very good for Physician and that is why I have decided to level this skill high.

Mixed Infection- This skill reminds me of the Biochemical Missile of Engineer. It has a decent damage when level up high and has good super-armor breaking capabilities. The only difference is, instead of the critical and all resistance debuff, Mixed infection applies poison status to the target for a period of time. I personally level this skill high.

Hypnosis- One of the best utility skill of Alchemist. It can put your opponent to sleep allowing you to escape or start your combo (in PVP). This skill is perfectly paired with Injector. If you click the special attack button right after Injector, this skill will be activated. Just level this skill to 1 however as you don't need the damage of this skill but the sleep status and, leveling it further won't give any significant decrease on its cooldown.

Injector- Get this skill. It enables you to rush forward and inject poison damage to the enemies. If you press normal attack when you arrived at the end point of the skill, it will heal a certain percentage of your HP. However in PVP plays, I usually click the special attack button to trigger Hypnosis. I level this skill to 6 to get its Ex version.

Disease- Throw a disease-carrying flask into the enemies to deal damage and poison them over time. When a target has been hit and he gets close to his allies, the poison status will also be inflicted on them. Pretty awesome skill huh? Well, it's not that awesome as the poison damage is small and the damage increment per level isn't that significant. I suggest to just level it to 1.

Poison Break- When it comes to damage and poisoning enemies, this is the most reliable skill to have. I deals huge damage especially when you have 5 bubbles to spend, which then increases the damage by 50%. The poison effect is far more superior than any poison skill of the Alchemist and the AOE is good. too. I personally max this skill.

Chemical Bubble Charging- Get this skill. Take note that some Alchemist skills consumes Alchemic bubble (like Cocktail). This skill along with Elemental Bubble Charging will ensure you that you will always have the maximum alchemic bubble, which is 10.

Ultimate Skills

A lot of players in Dragon Nest SEA decided to get the two ultimates as they think that they can be more versatile in doing this. They think that, it's more beneficial to have Icicle Expression for close range combats and Poison Pool for range combats. Well, they might have a point on this but, in my opinion, I think it's more better to have just one ultimate skill as a Physician and that is Poison Pool.

I say this because, one is that the two ultimate shares the same cooldown which only means that you can only use one at a time and the other reason is that instead of spending SP on the other ultimate, I rather put the SP on the damager skills of an Alchemist. Remember that this guide focuses on DPS and getting Icicle Expression for me is not an option as well all know that the cooldown of ultimate skills are too slow.

Physician Skill Tree

Love Virus- Level this skill to 2. A very unique skill which makes Physician really special. If this skill hits enemies, it will apply a confuse status that can cause enemies to "NOT" attack you, instead they will attack each other. In addition, their attack power will be decrease and they will take additional magic damage. And lastly, the skill can deal a decent damage to the enemy.

Important Note: The status effect applied by the skill to the enemies will last for 10 seconds.
Heal Shower- Get this skill. A very good healing skill. The percentage heal is pretty competitive with the heal of Priest, especially when you have high magic attack power and with 10 alchemy bubbles, which will definitely increase the heal percentage. In addtion to that it can also cure negative status just like the cure relic and the relieve of Warrior. It's like a 2-in-1 skill which is really amazing!
Injector Ex- Get this skill. It will boost the damage of your Injector by 20% and its heal percentage by 8%.

Disease Ex- Adds two more flasks and the enemy will received additional damage.

Poison Charging Ex- Aside from the increase damage, this enhancement gives additional attack option to your Poison Charging and it does give you the ability to evade enemy attacks.

Poison Break Ex- Get this skill to give you the ability to deal more damage or heal your party.

Chemical Harmony- If you have extra SP, get this skill to increase your magic damage.
