This Dark Physician guide is credited to Seiggy. Thanks for this detailed guide, Seiggy.

Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Rein and also known as Seiggy in CC and MMO forum. I've been playing Dragon Nest for 2 years already (1st year is from china). I've been using multiple characters but after playing with all of them I've decided to settle down with a physician and fully gear her. This is my first time writing a guide so don't flame me if ever I commit mistakes or if there are flaws with my guide. I appreciate comments and suggestions. ^^

I'd like to share everything that I've learned and I hope that you guys get something from it. I guess i can post this guide in this section as chaose said that freedom board is open for guides. Well, here goes.

I. Why Physician?

Physician is a hybrid class which utilizes the alchemist tree for damage and the physician tree for support. While we are inclined to support, the alchemist tree is sufficient enough for physicians to acquire burst damage which is also comparable to their counterpart, the adept. Many misconceptions arose upon the release of this class. Many thought of it as a plain support character which only can only heal. But they are wrong. As I have explained in the statements above, physician can deal the same amount of damage like our counterparts with the exception of course of ice beam. It boils down to preference and how you'd gear your class to achieve your maximum potential.

Due to a wide array of heals (you can have 3 heals with different uses), surviving and soloing nests won't be a problem. You may recover instantly using heal shower or injector ex to a swarm of monsters. Physicians are a choice for those who want to self sufficient, determined, and has a heart to support others.

Pros:
* Self Sufficient
* Has heal + cure spell in one
* Has good DPS
* Good survival skills due to wide array of heal skills

Cons:
* Jack of all trades - does not focus on a single role, hence other classes may take her role instead
* Managing phantoms is difficult - needs maxed phantom for full effect of heal
* Too many dark resistant monsters
