If you are an avid reader of this blog, then you already know that I'm more of an Engineer class than an Alchemist class. Well, my perspective have changed when I have tried to use an Adept as my newest character in the game.
Without a doubt, Adept are really solid in PVP plays. They are on
top of the chart when it comes to one-on-one matches or even, team
matches with other players as they can dish out major damage over time.
When compared to Saleana, I think that Adept has a slight advantage in
dealing damage per seconds as their skills are way more faster in terms
of cooldown. And, if an Adept is in the hands of a skillful player, then
probably it will wreck havoc in the Arenas. Aside from being great in
terms of PVP, Adept can also be a valuable asset in dungeon/nest raids.
They are probably a good replacement for damager-type heroes such as
Saleana as they are a class which is great in dealing damage to
monsters.
The only downside of being an Adept is that, you are very squishy. Which
only means that when you get hit by a powerful attack, expect that it
will inflict huge damage to your character. However, don't be so
bothered by this fact as you can equip your character with powerful
gears and heraldries to lessen the damage you take from enemies.
So, taking all these things in consideration, I have created a skill build for the Adept class in Dragon Nest SEA which can inflict the highest damage per seconds on the enemy. In short, this build focuses on getting the DPS skills of Adept and disregarding most of its supportive skills. So, let's cut to the chase and on to my Best Adept Skill Build in Dragon Nest SEA.
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- The worst thing you would do as an Alchemist is
getting Alfredo. It would be a bad idea to invest SP on this robot as an
Adept as Alfredo has no skills that can provoker nor damage the
enemies. He will just attack normally as they are no skills available
for him when you are playing an Alchemist class.
Alfredo Recall- Do not invest SP on this skill either.
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. 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.
Aerial Evasion- I prefer to max this skill as an Adept. 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- Max this skill to increase your max MP and complete the SP requirement.
Mind Conquer- Max this skill to increase your mana regeneration a bit because Adept skills drains mana really fast.
