The DPS statistics could be broken down into stages. Usually, when a team was judged based on this, it would only be when they were fighting the boss, not when they were dealing damage to the normal monsters. Unless these monsters had a certain level of difficulty and had certain requirements for the team, then they could be counted together.
The DPS statistics that Ye Xiu released were for the battle against the Stronghold Commander Sand Leopard. On the list, the number one DPS player was Wu Chen's Dawn Rifle, followed by Tang Rou's Han Yanrou, and then Baozi and Bao Zi's Invasion. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, who relied on DPS to build up the aggro, was only ranked fourth in the DPS statistics.
Under these circumstances, the top three players didn't OT. It was clear that even though their DPS surpassed Lord Grim's, their aggro wasn't high enough to cause an OT. As for Ye Xiu's side, if his DPS could be higher, he obviously wouldn't be too conservative. However, this time, it was because the boss had a shield, which made it more troublesome for him to directly face the boss. However, he had clearly calculated that this little bit of trouble wouldn't affect his aggro, so he didn't tell everyone to hold back when dealing damage. When the statistics came out and Wu Chen saw the data, he immediately became nervous. With his data, he was so close to creating an OT. He hadn't paid attention to it, and Ye Xiu hadn't reminded him either. Was it because he had calculated that there wouldn't be an OT? If that was the case, then this God's calculation ability and precise control of the situation was too frightening.
Ye Xiu didn't care about this at all, nor did he say anything about it. He just glanced at the players behind him and said, "Cough, what's going on? Deception, your DPS this time is even worse than last time! "
It was indeed worse. This time, not counting the Cleric Little Cold Hands, Deception's DPS was second to last, only slightly higher than Chasing Haze. Compared to Luo Ji's Concealed Light, he was actually a bit worse.
Everyone knew what Luo Ji's skill level was. No matter how bad Mo Fan was, he wasn't that bad. When the damage output statistics were released, everyone was shocked. Wei Chen, who had always been trying to figure out Ye Xiu in the most malicious way, even sent Ye Xiu a private message: "What did you do?"
"Scram!" Ye Xiu replied without hesitation.
"That's impossible!" Mo Fan, who had always been quiet, couldn't help but blurt out.
"You can check it yourself." Ye Xiu didn't explain. The damage output statistics were a function of the Glory system. It wasn't like Ye Xiu was the only one who could use it. At this moment, everyone clicked on the DPS statistics and chose to look at the Fortress Commander Sand Leopard's DPS. It was exactly the same as Ye Xiu's. Deception was second to last on the damage output leaderboards. He wasn't even as good as Concealed Light. Even though the difference was only a hair's breadth, during the first boss fight, even though he, Concealed Light, and Chasing Haze seemed to be leeching, he was still better than Concealed Light and Chasing Haze. This time, he was even more concerned. But not only did he not improve, he fell to the same level as the other two. It was no wonder he found it hard to believe.
But the system's statistics were a bloody fact. No matter what, he could only accept it.
"I say, solo player, you can't be this bad! Hurry up and think of a way. "Ye Xiu said with a hint of mockery. But anyone with a brain could hear the hint in his words. Solo player? Was he saying that Mo Fan's Deception had always been outside the team?
As soon as he thought of this, someone as experienced as Wei Chen immediately understood. He hadn't noticed before because he hadn't paid attention to this sort of thing. Now that he heard Ye Xiu say this, he immediately understood the reason.
"So that's how it is." Wei Chen sent another private message to Ye Xiu.
"That's how it is." Ye Xiu replied. The two played along.
Mo Fan wasn't an idiot. When he heard Ye Xiu's "solo player" ridicule, he was stunned. Was it because of this reason? Was it because of this reason that he had worked so hard to deal damage, but in the end, he was just a fake?
"Continue." Ye Xiu didn't say too much to him, nor did he want to waste time for him. He continued to kill his way deeper into Sealed Mountain Thieves Hideout.
There wasn't much suspense about the monsters along the way. Soon, the third boss appeared. It was Sealed Mountain Thieves Hideout's Military Advisor, Ice Eagle.
Ice Eagle's robes fluttered in the wind. He wasn't holding anything in his hands, so no one could tell his class. But looking at his attire, it was more appropriate to assume that he was a Mage.
Everyone knew the routine, but Ye Xiu ordered them to stop outside of the area and wait for Ye Xiu's Lord Grim to test it out first.
Ye Xiu obviously did the same. As soon as Lord Grim stepped into the boss' aggro range, he immediately received Ice Eagle's enthusiastic greeting. With a wave of his sleeve, without even moving his hand, a star appeared in the air and a ray of light shot over.
A Witch skill, known as Magic Ray. Sure enough, when fired, a star would light up, so players were more used to calling this skill "Star Ray."
As expected, he was a Mage.
As soon as Lord Grim entered the aggro range, Ye Xiu was already on guard. Even though the Magic Ray was fast, it wasn't enough to hurt him. Lord Grim turned his body and the ray hit nothing but air.
Then, with a few strides, Lord Grim was already close to Ice Eagle. Then, Ice Eagle's performance was even more stunning. With another wave of his sleeve, it seemed like he was pulling up his robes. His hand still couldn't be seen, but soon after, Ice Eagle's legs left the ground and he was riding on a broom.
The broom flickered with starlight, indicating that this wasn't a broom used to sweep the streets, but rather the sharpest magic tool in the hands of a Witch.
Starlight scattered all over the place. The third boss, Ice Eagle, actually left just like that.
"What's the situation?" Everyone gathered around and asked.
"As you can see." Ye Xiu said.
"Is he still in battle mode?" Wei Chen asked.
"Yes."
"There's a trap." Wei Chen said.
"Of course." Ye Xiu replied.
"What do we do?"
"The most shameless part of a dungeon is that it bullies the players. Even though they know it's a trap, in order to clear the dungeon, they have no choice but to break through it." Ye Xiu said.
"You go, we'll cover." Wei Chen wasn't hesitant at all.
Ye Xiu agreed with his unwavering suggestion. Lord Grim chased after Ice Eagle, while the other nine maintained a certain distance behind him.
They hadn't chased too far when Ice Eagle reappeared. There was a dense forest to the left and right. It was obviously a good place to hide. The system was just bullying the players. Even their schemes were so crude. Ice Eagle turned around and saw Lord Grim following him. He flicked his sleeve again, and a magic firework flashed in the sky. Shouts came from the forest to the left and right, and a group of Sealed Mountain Bandits charged out.
Ye Xiu hurriedly had Lord Grim retreat. He didn't want to take on a large group of Sealed Mountain Bandits alone. As he retreated with Aerial Fire, he counted ten of them! A total of ten Sealed Mountain Bandits, more than any other wave they'd encountered before. Moreover, the class composition was very reasonable. There were melee classes, ranged classes, a leader with a shield, and a devout Cleric with a cross in his hand.
A Cleric being a Thief … It was hilarious to say it out loud, but it was just a class in the game, so no one cared about it.
When a healer appeared in a team, he would always be an important point of attack, whether it was in PVE or PVP. There was no need for Ye Xiu's orders. The others behind him had already locked onto the Cleric Sealed Mountain Bandit.
For Ye Xiu, PVE didn't require him to use his brain to think of tactics. What was more important was how to coordinate the team. They had never dealt with a wave of ten monsters before, but Team Happy's skill was there for all to see. They didn't have any Diamond Drills, and they knew their own limits, so they resolutely refused to take on this task. As a result, the team was very harmonious. Mo Fan's Deception was an exception, but he was a scrap picker. Protecting himself in a chaotic battle was his forte, so no one needed to worry about him.
"Han Yanrou, block those two Lancers. Baozi, block those two Swordsmen. Old Wei, use Death's Door. Concealed Light, summon creatures to bite those two ranged classes. One Inch Ash, use Ice Boundary. Two Launchers, suppress them. I'll go grab that Cleric," Ye Xiu quickly arranged. His Lord Grim had already turned around and attacked. Against a ten-man team, it was too troublesome to have him pull all the monsters by himself. So this time, Ye Xiu decided to make use of their team's strength. It was just that too many people could hold their own. They didn't need a specialized tank to pull aggro. Everyone with skill was a tank, so they could find monsters to tank first. His Lord Grim, on the other hand, went straight for the Cleric.
After a few skills, the Cleric was thrown out of the formation, alone and without any protection.
In the blink of an eye, the Cleric fell under everyone's focused fire. After that, the more troublesome ones were the ranged Sealed Mountain Thieves. Once again, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim charged forward, sending the two ranged Sealed Mountain Thieves back. After these two died, the remaining seven didn't need to be in any particular order. They just attacked whichever was most convenient. Moments later, the ten-man team was completely wiped out. When Frigid Eagle saw this, he rode his broom and flew away with a whoosh. The group hurriedly continued their chase. Ye Xiu glanced at everyone's situation and reminded them, "Pay attention to your battle endurance. Don't waste time."
No one knew what would happen next in this battle against the second Boss, Frigid Eagle. If it really was an endless ambush like this, then their consumption would probably be even greater than the high HP Sand Leopard.
"Do you think this plot has something to do with the signal flare the first Boss used before he died?" Wei Chen asked.
"Yeah, logically it makes sense, but it could also be a fixed plot," Ye Xiu said.
A fixed plot meant that the signal flare the first Boss used before he died was protected by the system. It wasn't something that players could stop or change the course of the dungeon. This sort of plot was nothing more than a logical storyline for the entire dungeon.
Every Instance Dungeon was linked to the story of the entire World of Glory. It wasn't just a bunch of monsters for you to kill as soon as you entered the dungeon. It was just that many players were only willing to see it as data and didn't have the heart to think about the plot.
Ye Xiu and the others happened to be that type of people. They weren't analyzing this because they were interested in the plot, but because they wanted to know if they could stop the signal flare at the beginning and change the course of the dungeon. Logically speaking, stopping the signal flare should lower the difficulty of the dungeon, right?
