I chopped off the Dark Draconian’s head. I thought: 13 seconds per mob, our DPS wasn’t bad.
After which, I bent down and picked up the 47 silver on the ground and the party distribution system automatically split the sum. I smiled and murmured to myself: “Very nice, just farming for gold here is going to make us rich……”
Lin Wan Er remarked: “When Draconians’ health drops to about 30%, their dragon-strength buff will automatically activate, so make sure your skills are off cooldown for the second volley of attacks and control the damage output such that we can focus our skills to finish it off as soon as its health drops to 30%”
Matcha nodded, “Yup, our beautiful Lin Wan Er is right. We should try our best to be efficient.”
……
I could immediately see numerous Draconians nearby as I turned around to take a look at the area. Closest to us was a group of five Draconians.
“Oh, that’s a lot……” said Who’s Blue.
Lin Wan Er celebrated saying: “It’s still good since we have both Matcha and Li Xiao Yao to tank……”
Beautiful Matcha smiled placidly, “Yup, these five Draconian are gathered too closely; attacking any one of them will cause them all to get aggroed. Afterwards, boss will bait two while I’ll attract the other three. Concentrate your attacks and finish off the two assaulting boss and then help me eliminate the other three…. ”
Feeling somewhat doubtful, I asked: “Matcha, are you confident in keeping the aggro of all three Draconians on yourself, even with the aggro generated from the heals of our Healers?”
“Don’t worry boss~”
“Good, then be prepared. Dong Cheng, lure the mob!”
“Roger!”
Approaching slowly, Dong Cheng Yue came to a halt at a distance of about 37 meters from the mob. Her beautiful eyes accurately judged the position of the mobs. Then, gathering her energy, crackling sounds of lightning could be heard as lightning circled between her fingers while energy danced wildly around, beating about her robes, revealing two splendidly long legs.
“Pa!”
The beautiful Mage activated [Thunder Finger] letting a bolt of lightning bounce within the group of Draconians, drawing the aggro and causing a damage of at least 10,000 points at the same time. This S class skill was way too overpowered.
I leapt forward. As my Purple Dawn Boots stepped on the grasslands, I looked for a good angle. The next moment, seven meteors appeared and floated around my blade, bursting out and hitting all 5 Draconians. The Lv 5 [Seven Star Fragment Slash] struck out with shocking attack power, while the rows of damage numbers that appeared stupefied everyone!
1763!
1820!
3764!
1799!
..…
The group of mobs trembled. Having been aggroed by me, they shouted while raising their broadswords, rushing over with killing intent.
“Oh my……” Lin Wan Er speechlessly remarked while grasping her daggers: “Li Xiao Yao has finally obtained an AOE skill, I just knew it didn’t make sense that he would be unable to get a physical damage AOE skill……”
With a sweep of my blade, I initiated my custom combo, [Strength of a Thousand Men]. Next to me, Matcha wielded her sword to attack, unleashing [Phantom Ray Slash] on three of the Draconians. In the same time, she waved her other hand and summoned a [Phantom Shadow Clone], microing it to draw in the attacks of the three Draconians. Through this combination of skills and techniques, the aggro of the three Draconians was successfully kept by Matcha.
“Beautifully done, Matcha……” Fox laughs while firing.
“Keng keng keng…”
The broadsword slashed against Matcha’s golden shield. Fortunately, she had put 1 point into Endurance each time she leveled and redistributed her stats when she changed classes and thus had an additional 53 points into Endurance. In addition, she had put over 100 points into defense, so with her shield, her defense wasn’t too far below mine.
Swiftly finishing off the two Draconians, I switched my focus to help Matcha kill the other three. In a mere 30 seconds, Matcha had been beaten till she had less than 30% of her health points. While being healed by Who’s Blue and Darling Duck, Matcha cast her [Phantom Holy Shield] to protect herself, complaining: “A girl shouldn’t be a tank, being beaten by mobs really hurts……”
I replied: “Fortunately you are an attack-oriented Knight who adds 7 strength per level. Some Knights distribute 5 points each to defense and endurance per level, a build that focuses purely on being able to take punishment. When the 3rd job advancement and aggroing skills are released, those type of Knights and Monks will start to “shine”, as they become the main tanking force in boss runs~”
As Matcha’s sword continued to hack and slash at the Draconians, she laughed: “Boss, I’d rather happily stay as an attack type Knight……”
I nodded in agreement and said: “You must. In the late game meta, the focus will be on PK between players and not boss runs. The future of Zhan Long can only be secured through fighting, thus we do not really need too many highly skilled defensive players but more importantly we need attack type players. Matcha with your AOE job skills such as [Phantom Ray Slash], there is no way I would allow you to play a defense focused build……”
Happily laughing, Matcha exclaimed: “Yup, boss is brilliant!”
