The Great Thief - Chapter 650

Chapter 650

The reason why Lu Li wanted a Hunter to draw aggro was because of their range . However, they had to look out for was to pull the right monsters and give away the aggro at the right timing .

Beard Stubble had better mechanics than Remnant Dream, along with a better skill set to pull monsters from afar .

Despite Beard Stubble's capabilities, Lu Li would never kick out Remnant Dream off the party because she brought in so much more value to the team than her DPS . She was known throughout Dawn for her luck when it came to looting monster corpses .

Remnant Dream from Ruling Sword – the one who looted all those Dark Gold grade equips .

She had received multiple, enticing offers from other major guilds . Lu Li wondered why no one wanted him this badly in his past life .

Fortunately, Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan were inseparable as friends . Since Hachi Chan was doing quite well for herself in Ruling Sword, both her and Remnant Dream couldn't be bothered switching guilds .

Because of this, Remnant Dream would always boast about her loyalty .

Beard Stubble adjusted his positioning and angle of attack, then sniped the Felguard from afar . The crimson red Felguard turned and looked around for the intruder . With its Felhound pet by its side, it began making his way towards Lu Li and the others . None of the other monsters were aggro'd .

Lu Li was pleased and nodded . He had heard about how Beard Stubble was always the one aggroing the Boss in his party, and now, he had actually seen it in person .

"Azure, take aggro!"

Azure Sea Breeze stepped in front of Beard Stubble, about to draw the aggro of the two incoming monsters .

The Felhound immediately used Mana Drain in order to take away Azure Sea Breeze's mana pool . However, this was basically useless as Warriors used rage instead of mana to cast skills .

The Felguard immediately followed up with Intercept and stunned Azure Sea Breeze .

Intercept: Run at high speed towards target . Intercept deals a small amount of damage and stuns the target for 3 seconds . 30 second cooldown .

It had a similar skillset as the Felguards that were summoned by Warlocks . However, at level 45, its skills were much stronger and more difficult to deal with .

Since Azure Sea Breeze was stunned for three seconds, he didn't have enough time to draw the aggro of the Boss . The Felguard immediately switched aggro onto Lonesome Flower, who had been dealing the most DPS .

Although Fat Monkey was a glass cannon Fire Mage and Nuo Yu was dealing decent DPS as well, they couldn't keep up with Lonesome Flower . He had always been the one that had worked hard to keep up with Lu Li . He was currently wearing multiple Dark Gold items, as well as some Exquisite level 40 Silver items .

As for Lu Li, he knew this would happen and had waited for a while before attacking the Boss .

After switching aggro, the Felguard rushed towards Lonesome Flower and casted Cleave . Cleave could attack up to two enemies at once, but the damage was mainly dealt to the target .

Lonesome Flower immediately lost two-thirds of his HP as the Felguard prepared for his next attack .

"Flower, use your refrigerator!" Lu Li shouted quickly .

It was too late to Blink away because the Boss would just chase after him . Lonesome Flower froze for a second and didn't react .

He had been in numerous dungeon runs with Lu Li, and although he would often look down upon him, he always followed Lu Li's commands completely .

He heard Lu Li shout "refrigerator" and subconsciously casted Ice Block . When the Boss attacked again, he was completely encased in ice and invulnerable .

This stalled enough time for the stun on Azure Sea Breeze to time out .

He immediately casted Charge into Taunt and the Boss began targeting him again . The ice melted away, revealing Lonesome Flower's terrified expression . He waited to make sure that the boss was aggroed onto Azure Sea Breeze before he began attacking again .

Lu Li didn't criticize him in front of his little sister because he wanted to save his face .

He had never fought this Boss before and decided to stick with a more conservative strategy .

The most-commonly used skills used by the Felguard were Intercept, Cleave, Taunt, Felstorm, War Stomp, Cripple, Rain of Fire and Silence . However, the only skills that they had to worry about were Cleave, Felstorm and Rain of Fire . The others were crowd-control skills which would eventually time out after a few seconds, given that the player adopted a safer playstyle for the affected duration .

Cleave was quite difficult to deal with and the only strategy was to stand in pairs to minimize the damage .

Cleave: Strikes a target in front of you as well as a nearby target, dealing large amount of damage . Cooldown 6 seconds .

The skill dealt a set amount of damage with each hit . The main target received the main chunk of the damage, but this could be split up between ally players . If a player was alone in a 3-yard radius, he would be instantly killed .

Besides Azure Sea Breeze, World's Best Friend and Wandering, there were no one that could withstand a Cleave strike by themselves .

As for Felstorm, the Felguard would gain a 10% attack increase for each enemy hit after casting it . This stacked up to 10 times (100%) and lasted for 30 seconds . After casting Felstorm, the Felguard had the potential to deal double damage for a considerable amount of time .

Even the Main Tank would not be able to tank this damage .

Switching Main Tanks would likely be their best option . The two tanks had to be able to coordinate and switch aggo between the two of them – otherwise, the whole team would be wiped .

Rain of Fire was an Area of Effect skill that dealt damage and caused a burn debuff .

As the commander, Lu Li needed remind everyone to use their defensive skills when Rain of Fire was casted . Otherwise, it was almost certain that someone would die from the damage .

"World, you're the second Main Tank . Cast Taunt 12 seconds after Azure uses his Taunt . " Lu Li wasn't sure when Felguard would cast Felstorm and decided to remind World's Best Friend just in case .

World's Best Friend replaced Wandering as the secondary tank because Warriors were better at dealing with Demon monsters .

His mechanics and game sense were pretty good . As soon as Lu Li gave him the task, he immediately maintained second place on the aggro bar .

"World, take aggro on three and remember to activate your defensive skills!" Lu Li shouted .

Azure Sea Breeze was on critical health when he backed out of the fight . March Rain immediately healed him back to full HP and the Felguard casted Rain of Fire straight away .

There was no escaping this large area of effect skill and the fireballs landed on Azure Sea Breeze .

Fortunately, March Rain had reacted quickly . It would've been certain death for him otherwise .

There were four healers in the party this time . The Holy Paladin Midnight focused on healing the player that was tanking the Boss, while March Rain and Machine Bro watched over the whole team . Hachi Chan was in charge of healing those that were afflicted with the burn debuff .

Azure Sea Breeze stood in the Felstorm for 9 seconds, causing the Felguard to gain a 60% damage increase .

He immediately ordered Wandering to build up the aggro because someone might have to be sacrificed for the greater good of the team .
