Chapter 1745: Wasted Healing

After fighting this Boss a few times, Lu Li understood that it wasn’t going to be done by today .

He started to try and adjust the team, and kept only Azure Sea Breeze . The rest of the defensive professions were all changed because this Boss didn’t require many of them . If they were swapped for Thieves or Mages, this would increase the overall damage output of the whole team .

As for why more healers weren’t necessary, it wasn’t because there wasn’t any pressure on them . In fact, the most difficult part of this Boss was maintaining the team’s HP . There was no organisation of healers as there was no point in having more of them .

Loatheb often cast a skill called ‘Corrupt Mind’ which debuffed all healers after a few seconds . All healing magic and dispels were placed on cooldown for one minute . Within this one minute, only one heal or dispel could be used .

Basically, all healing professions were made redundant – they could only be used at key moments .

In times like these, the fight was dependant on the club’s equipment and potions .

All in all, everyone had taken every measure possible to regenerate HP .

On the contrary, the healing potions couldn’t be used at this time .

Some people said that this Boss’ attack wasn’t that high, and that the skill damage was mediocre . This was true, but once someone made your healing useless, then even the weakest attack would gain some lethality .

The second skill was a summoning type skill .

After 20 seconds, Loatheb would summon Diseased Spores, which would creep out of the four wells . The spores had little HP, around 700, and would grant nearby players a buff once killed . The melee players’ Critical Hit rate would increase by 50%, while spell Critical Hit rate would increase by 60% .

This type of spore could be killed easily without the need of aggroing monsters .

The players would also benefit after they died, and there would be no increase in aggro . As such, they were recklessly allowed to increase their damage output .

The ones who killed the spores were usually Mages and Thieves .

Loatheb would be an unsolvable Boss if not for these spores .

Of course, things were never that easy . Loatheb also had a skill of ‘inevitable doom’, which would fill the entire area with dark damage . It would debuff all players within 100 yards with a slow effect every 30 seconds, while dealing 2500 points of Shadow damage . Once 15 minutes had passed in the Boss fight, the trigger time was adjusted to every 5 seconds .

Of course, this was terrifying, but within the first 15 minutes it was still manageable .

After 15 minutes, a team wipe would be inevitable . No one could withstand so much damage once every 5 seconds .

The team was destroyed again and again . They had also wasted a lot of materials and potions . It was necessary to burn money to fight against Loatheb . Shadow Resistance equipment and life-steal equipment also had to be considered . Once they had accumulated enough life-steal, the melee players could continuously regenerate HP in the battle, so as to alleviate the pressure on the healers .

Lu Li put on a few pieces of life-stealing equipment he had taken from the club warehouse . Even though his output fell by a huge margin, his life-steal considerably increased .

He could recover about 300 HP for each ordinary attack . As long as he wasn’t struck by the Boss face-on, he didn’t need to worry about the damaged caused by the ‘inevitable doom’ .

If they wanted to pass the Boss steadily, they just needed to bring more Thieves . Everyone needed to wear some life-steal equipment and take turns to kill the spores . There was no need to worry about output . However, they also couldn’t wear too much life-steal equipment, otherwise, the damage wouldn’t be able to keep up and the Thieves wouldn’t have an advantage anymore .

“My HP! My HP!” Azure Sea Breeze shouted .

“Stop shouting! You’re not dead yet,” March Rain scolded .

“It would be too late if I’m dead, sister . My life is already in your hands okay?!”

Azure Sea Breeze pulled a long face . Usually when he tanked a Boss, his HP steadily remained above 50% . Now, it had dropped to 30% and he was not being healed .

“Who are you calling sister? Am I your sister?”

Lonesome Flower was not happy . March Rain was his sister, and nobody else could take that from him .

“Hehe, Flowery, let me tell you something, hey? Your sister is gonna marry someone one day hahaha~” Azure Sea Breeze cackled, not afraid of death .

“Get out! I’m going to kill you one day!” Lonesome Flower roared .

Azure Sea Breeze loved to see other people’s expressions of wanting to kill him; he despised people like Lonesome Flower, who acted like a pretty boy .

“Stop fighting . Darkness, heal!”

March Rain was rather angry .

Darkness lifted her hand and filled up Azure Sea Breeze’s HP bar, then proceeded into a one-minute cooldown . March Rain was responsible for adjusting the healing times between the healing professions . These guys were already angry, so they were not in the mood to listen to the quarrelling between these two man-children .

They needed to wait until the Main Tank’s HP had fallen to a certain level . Then, the healers would cast an Enhanced healing skill restore his HP all at once . This way, they wouldn’t waste the entire minute .

“Let’s hope this time it won’t go Berserk,” everyone prayed as they were about to enter into the last stage .

Loatheb still had a chance of going Berserk at the moment . There had already been two times he had gone Berserk and destroyed the teams . After a period of time, the gaming company would remove this Boss’ Berserk mechanism . Combined with the restriction of healing, a Berserk would simply strip away any chance of survival .

Perhaps because their prayers were more earnest, Loatheb actually hadn’t gone Berserk .

“It’s steady now,” Lu Li sighed in relief .

Loatheb fell and two people received Skill Points . Of course, this didn’t include Lu Li, but he wasn’t jealous . It would be a miracle for Lady Luck to doze off .
