Paladins, like Knights and Clerics, were a Priest class.
This class was proficient in plate armor and had high defense. In addition, they had healing abilities that didn't lose out to Clerics, as well as skills that increased their defense. It was very common for Paladins to tank. However, Ye Xiu was able to have a Paladin act as both a tank and a healer. That was a relatively high-end player. It wasn't something that just anyone could do. However, as the person known as the Glory Textbook, no one doubted that he could do such a thing.
After splitting up the teams, Ye Xiu rummaged through his drawers to find an account card. Chen Guo ran back to the main city market to find some equipment for this Paladin. The others were also replenishing their supplies and repairing their equipment, eagerly preparing for another First Kill.
Only one person was extremely depressed: Mo Fan.
Everyone received the experience reward from the First Kill. As for the equipment, there was nothing that Deception could use.
However, that wasn't what Mo Fan cared about. What he cared about was his DPS.
When the final Boss, Sealed Mountain Tiger, was killed, he went to check the DPS statistics. As expected, the DPS statistics this time weren't accurate. Lord Grim, Dawn Rifle, Baozi's Invasion, and Chasing Haze were in charge of chasing down Sealed Mountain Tiger. Their DPS was far ahead of the rest of the players, who were tangled up with the summons and only focused on restricting them, not killing them. If it were someone who didn't understand the dungeon, they would probably think that they were the ones who died.
Mo Fan was in a hurry to prove himself, yet he ended up running into a Boss like this. He was extremely frustrated. After the Boss was killed, he went to check the DPS statistics himself. As for Ye Xiu's side? Every time a Boss was killed, he would show it to everyone, but this time, he didn't mention it at all. He happily went to check the First Kill rewards with the others.
Mo Fan gloomily looked at the rewards with the others. It wasn't until he heard that they were going to continue dungeoning that his spirits rose. However, when he heard that they were going to split into two teams, Mo Fan was slightly disappointed. He would have preferred to be in a ten-player environment.
However, having a chance to fight was better than just ending it like this.
The division was quickly completed.
Wei Chen, Tang Rou, Qiao Yifan, Luo Ji, and An Wenyi formed a team of five.
Mo Fan was left with Ye Xiu, Baozi Invasion, Wu Chen, and Chen Guo.
As for Wei Chen's team, after replenishing their supplies, they said their goodbyes and left first. On the other hand, Ye Xiu was still looking for his account card. He even heard that it was an empty account, so he still needed to get his equipment. Mo Fan was extremely anxious.
Chen Guo walked around the market and quickly received the equipment.
Now that the new level system had been released, all Level 70 equipment except for Orange equipment were facing elimination. This was probably the last chance for him to make a move. Hence, there was a plethora of Level 70 equipment on the market right now. No one would hold back anymore.
Chen Guo quickly collected all the equipment that was originally unobtainable. They were all top-tier Level 70 Purple equipment, and their prices were no longer the same as before. As for Level 70 Orange equipment, their stats were comparable to Level 75 Purple equipment, so they wouldn't be eliminated at Level 75. However, when Level 75 Purple equipment flooded the market, Level 70 Orange equipment wouldn't be expensive anymore. However, for now, Orange equipment wasn't that easy to collect. Ye Xiu's Paladin was only temporary. There was no need for him to be so extravagant. Purple equipment was fine. This was what Ye Xiu had said himself, so Chen Guo didn't worry about whether or not they had enough Purple equipment.
After finding their account cards, they logged into their characters and got their equipment from Chasing Haze. The second team also set off. Mo Fan rubbed his fists and swore that he would make a beautiful DPS in this five-player team.
There were a lot of five-player dungeons. Just the Barrier Mountains alone had two of them. Moreover, five-player dungeons were basically a transition period for players to accumulate equipment. The difficulty and rewards weren't on the same level as team dungeons. However, Ye Xiu's team didn't expect anything good from the dungeon. They were aiming for the First Clear rewards. These rewards mainly came from the competition between players, so it didn't have much to do with the difficulty of the dungeon. As a result, there was no difference in the rewards. Both teams had a high chance of getting the most luxurious Orange equipment.
Wei Chen's team entered the dungeon first. Ye Xiu's team could only enter the remaining five-player dungeon, Barrier Mountains' Blizzard Mine.
No one cared about the dungeon's background story. They found the entrance and entered.
Ye Xiu's Paladin was the MT, so he obviously had to be at the very front. Everyone met at the dungeon entrance and then entered. At this moment, apart from Chen Guo, the other three saw the name of Ye Xiu's alternate account. Their stomachs twitched.
Ye Xiu's Paladin was a female account. The name didn't match the player's temperament.
Melancholic Kitten …
Even Mo Fan, a cold guy, felt his mouth twitch. Wu Chen was calmer, but he couldn't bear it. He lowered his head, almost burying it under the keyboard.
Only Baozi was straightforward. Baozi took a few steps forward and circled Melancholic Kitten twice. Then he said, "Who are you? Did you join the wrong team? "
"Ahem …" Chen Guo coughed. She had seen the name of the account when she handed the equipment to the character. She already felt uncomfortable. She spoke up for Ye Xiu. "It's just an alternate account. Don't mind it too much."
"Whose alternate account?" Baozi asked in surprise.
"Your boss," Chen Guo said.
"It really is extraordinary!" Baozi continued to be surprised and circled her twice.
"Okay, okay, let's start the dungeon." Melancholic Kitten spoke in Ye Xiu's voice. "It's a small dungeon, so I won't say too much. Let's study it as we fight."
Ye Xiu spoke very confidently. It was partly because he was the healer this time, so he was confident he could control the situation. With that, his Melancholic Kitten rushed forward. The heavy plate armor couldn't hide the slim figure of the female character. Everyone coughed to hide their emotions as they watched the figure dive into the monsters.
Paladin was a class that could act as an MT, but it wasn't as mainstream as Knights. One of the important reasons was that Paladins took a long time to build aggro, so they were more or less passive. They weren't like Knights. After a Charge, the other classes could start attacking. As for Paladins, they needed to leave some time for the MT to deal with.
The slim Melancholic Kitten carried a heavy Hell Rock Battle Axe. However, compared to the contrast between the player and the character, the comparison between the weapon and the character was completely ignored.
Melancholic Kitten charged into the monsters and threw the Hell Rock Battle Axe into the air. It quickly turned into a meteor and fell straight down, shaking the earth and mountains.
This was a low-level skill for Exorcists under level 20: Starfall. Ye Xiu used it as the starting point for Paladins to pull. It was a fairly common technique.
In terms of mechanics, Ye Xiu obviously didn't have any problems. After his teammates recovered from the contrast, they also charged forward and started attacking.
It was just a small five-person dungeon. With their skill level, a five-level difference wasn't much. Ye Xiu didn't give any commands. Everyone relied on their own skills to deal with the situation. Chen Guo was close, but she was content with her role. She bombarded the monsters from afar, so she was very safe.
Their path was smooth. There were a few close calls, but they were all easily passed. The key was that Ye Xiu was the one controlling the team's health. As long as their health was healed, their characters wouldn't die.
Consolidating aggro through healing was a very important part of a Paladin as a MT. Speaking of which, for a high-level team like theirs, a Paladin wasn't suited to be a MT. This was because their individual skills were outstanding and they had a lot of dodging. If their characters took less damage, the burden on the healers would be lighter.
If they switched to a standard team, having less burden on the healers was a good thing. However, with a Paladin as a MT, there would sometimes be a burden on the healers. This was an important part of making up for the fact that he didn't have the damage of a Knight. As a result, Ye Xiu sometimes had to sell his own health to the monsters and then heal himself to increase the burden on himself. Of course, he had to control how much to do.
Soon, the group reached Blizzard Mine's first Boss: Miner Zalu.
Zalu held an oil lamp in his hand. It looked like his weapon. Out of the 24 classes, the only weapon he held like this was the Cleric's Cross, right?
But with a Cleric as a Boss … … where would his attack power come from?
"I'll go first." As usual, Ye Xiu probed first. As soon as Melancholic Kitten stepped into Zalu's aggro range, she saw Zalu swing his oil lamp. The oil inside turned into a line and splashed over. Immediately after, there was a flash of fire. With a boom, a line of fire shot towards Melancholic Kitten.
"Flame Thrower!" Ye Xiu looked and saw that it was a Gunner. This guy was using an oil lamp as a gun! That was quite novel.
As he spoke, his hands began to move. Melancholic Kitten swung her Hell Rock Battle Axe horizontally, and the blade of the axe smashed into the line of fire. The instant they touched, the axe shone with a layer of white light. The line of fire turned and shot in the direction of the Prison Rock Axe.
Paladin Skill: Holy Light Bash. A defensive skill that repels all attacks. It was effective against both physical and magic attacks.
The line of fire that was repelled was, of course, designed by Ye Xiu to be shot towards Zalu himself.
This Boss didn't look very smart. He didn't dodge in time after his skill was repelled and was hit squarely by the line of fire. He screamed twice and spun the oil lamp in his hand like a windmill. The oil flew out like raindrops, but it was quickly ignited. It looked like a pile of fireballs raining down on Melancholic Kitten.
"Hehe, interesting." Ye Xiu didn't let Melancholic Kitten dodge this time. He was ready to test the damage of this skill. His body was instantly hit by several small fireballs. As he healed himself, he calculated and quickly came up with a plan.
"Let's go!" Ye Xiu felt that this kind of Boss should be tested enough. There was no need to worry too much. With a shout, the other four began to attack.
