"Anger bro is too powerful; he deals so much damage . "
Azure Sea Breeze had a saddened expression; he regretted choosing the Nightmare mode for this dungeon . That's right – he was the one who had chosen it, and his strange confidence caused him to make the decision .
Of course, Anger bro referred to General Angerforge .
"He is pretty strong, but your reaction time was too slow . The blocking from your shield should be faster," Lu Li said as he sat on the floor and chewed on the Spicy Raptor Flesh that Water Fairy had given him .
To his surprise, Water Fairy was an amazing cook . The Spicy Raptor Flesh tasted amazing; it was more than just a product of the simple cooking system .
This type of food also provided the eater with a 20% critical damage boost . Normally, it would only increase it by 10%, but both lasted for half an hour . For Thief classes, this was the most suitable type of food .
When others came to ask for it, Water Fairy turned them down by saying that she hadn't brought enough with her .
"This guy understands tactics, and his aggression state can be quite messy, so to pass, we need to make less mistakes . Let's pay attention and try to aim for phase two this time," Lu Li said .
General Angerforge was a tactician, so he wasn't as simple as the other Bosses .
His double-hand axe 'Black Howling' enabled him to deal the damage of a Berserker . If Azure Sea Breeze didn't pay attention, it could deal consecutive critical strikes . If he didn't use his damage reduction in time, it would only be a matter of minutes before the team wiped .
After this came the aggression issue . General Angerforge often ignored the aggression on the main tank and attacked other players, especially the player with the most damage or the healer .
There was nothing too special about phase one . As long as these two problems were solved, they would be able to progress to phase two . There wasn't any guide to this either . At they very most, Lu Li could only watch the boss carefully and remind Azure Sea Breeze when to use his damage reduction .
General Angerforge initiated the battle with a few slashes at Azure Sea Breeze .
Both of the Priests healed Azure Sea Breeze continuously, and his health fluctuated like a roller coaster . The situation would be easier to manage if they had a healing Paladin . The best healing combination for the Blackrock Depths was a Shaman, healing Paladin and a Priest or Druid, but preferably a Priest . If it was too difficult to find a Priest, then a well-equipped Druid could also work out . After all, resurrection in battle was still very useful in a 15-man dungeon .
"Damage reduction!"
As soon as Lu Li's voice rang out, two critical strikes floated over top of Azure Sea Breeze's head .
The critical strikes didn't come without warning – the Boss always moved the weapon close by his side before it happened . However, Lu Li didn't plan to tell this to his team members; he had them thinking that he was instructing at perfect timing .
The limiting factor of the first stage wasn't the main tank, especially when the main tank was Azure Sea Breeze . If he couldn't tank it, then no one else in Dawn could . Rather, the limiting factor was the healers and whether the Boss could one-shot them .
This was a problem for their all-celebrity player team, but they were still more skilled than an average team . After all, everyone was a professional and they all needed to at least master their survival skills to play in a competition .
As the boss rushed over, they either escaped with the fast mobility, or tanked it with their damage reduction .
"I'm worried about the elite teams in our guild," Jade Flower sighed, barely dodging the axe in the Boss' hands . As he watched the Boss being pulled away, his worried expression didn't change at all . Even he was having a difficult time, he wasn't expecting those in his guild to work a miracle .
Not to mention, many of the healers out there were girls who didn't enjoy PVP .
"There'll be ways," Lu Li replied calmly . The real solution was to have the healers bring an Engineered Mannequin .
When the Boss rushed over, they would toss one out in front of them, which would keep them safe . General Angerforge would take out the Engineered Mannequins first, then find the healer .
If the healers still couldn't escape, then this would just mean that they had issues with their technique .
Of course, this only worked for a few bosses like General Angerforge . If this wasn't the case, none of the Bosses would be challenging .
Similar guides were constantly being developed by everyone in the game .
"Alright, we've entered phase two . I believe the boss will start to cast spells at this point . Sorrowless buddy, is your group damage reduction ready?" Lu Li tried his best to ask politely .
"It's ready . Let me know when you need it, but the cooldown time is an hour, so try to use it when you're certain . "
Lu Li really didn't want to waste his time on General Angerforge .
The boss was difficult, but he mostly tested the strength of the players . There was nothing too special about him – as long as your equipment, skills and techniques were up to par, progressing would be a simple manner .
If they couldn't even take down this boss, then they might as well just leave the dungeon and go home .
The main damage from phase two was splash damage . General Angerforge's Whirlwind was slightly different to the Whirlwind of normal Berserkers . It dealt ranged damage and as the Whirlwind spun, fire would fly from the blades of the axe . Anyone who touched the fire would take burning damage .
Lu Li asked for Sorrowless to use damage reduction, and everyone else used their own accordingly . Even though the burning damage was quite significant, it didn't result in any deaths amongst the team .
Phase three commenced after General Angerforge's health dropped to 40% and he began to summon his subordinates .
It was common for Bosses to summon their subordinates, but it was sure rare for one to summon so many . General Angerforge really lived up to his title – these soldiers loved him . It was easy for his summoned soldiers to go berserk at any moment if they weren't careful .
General Angerforge even used Battle Roar to provide his soldiers with some buffs .
There were two types of monsters – Iron Rage Trainees and Iron Rage Doctors . The prior were in charge of damage, while the latter were in charge of healing .
Fortunately, the doctors directed the trainees, and they didn't heal the Boss either . Otherwise, they could all just surrender and save themselves the trouble .
