Best Item Builds in Dragon Nest

Dragon Nest SEA players has finally grasped the Level 50 Cap last August 28, 2012. With the level 50 Cap, a lot of things have changed including, the skill tree of each Dragon Nest Online classes, a new map has been included namely Lotus Marsh and new dungeon too like the Archbishop Nest, and most of all, Dragon Nest Items has also changed. What did change in the Dragon Nest SEA items? Well, aside from the addition of level 50 items in Dragon Nest and the Archbishop set, the effect of each suffixes in the Dragon Nest SEA items has changed.

During the level 50 Cap, the most loved suffix is the HP because it so good in PVP, especially in Ladder Matches and, it can also save your life in PVE. It's because the HP suffix on Dragon Nest gears at Level 40 Cap do stack up. To be more specific, there are times that all five suffix applied in your equipment will activated simultaneously, giving you large HP recovery percentage. But, when level 50 Cap has finally arrived, that changes! Now, the HP suffix don't stack at all. So, it's really a bad idea creating five parts of your equips with HP suffix.

Now that you know that, I will share to you a Dragon Nest SEA Item Guide (suffixes) which will be your reference on what suffixes you'll need to be more efficient in both PVE and PVP. Do note that this item guide will focus on recommended suffixes on your gears, accessories and plates which will suite your class. And lastly, these are only suggestions was created with the help from different players in Dragon Nest SEA from Hollywood server. In the end, you're the only one who can decide what Item/Equipment Build you want for your character in Dragon Nest SEA. So without further a do, here's my item guide for Dragon Nest SEA:

Important Notes: The gears that will be used in this item build will be those high-end gears.
