"My brother is too strong. It hurts so much," Azure Sea Breeze said with a sad face. He regretted choosing the Nightmare difficulty. That's right, he, as the Main Tank cum Vice Leader, was the one who chose the dungeon difficulty. He confidently chose the Nightmare difficulty.
My brother, that is, General Angerford, a very popular name.
"He's really strong, but your reaction speed is too slow. You should've used your shield to block faster," said Lu Li as he sat cross-legged on the ground, munching on a piece of Spicy Velociraptor jerky that Water Fairy had given to him.
It was hard to tell that the female tycoon was a culinary enthusiast. The jerky tasted surprisingly good. It was not something that could be made with the System's cooking skill.
Moreover, this type of meat jerky increased the user's critical damage by 20%. Ordinary Spicy Velociraptor Meat Jerky only increased the user's critical damage by 10% for half an hour. For a class with high critical damage like Thieves, this was the perfect food.
When the others came to ask for it, Water Fairy rejected them, saying that there were not enough of it.
"This guy knows tactics, and his aggro is very chaotic. There's no room for error. We have to be very careful. Everyone, stay alert. Let's get to phase two this time," said Lu Li, giving everyone a small goal.
General Angerford was a tactical expert, so he was not as inflexible as the other bosses.
First, there was the problem of damage. The two-handed axe called "Black Roar" dealt the damage of a Berserker. If Weilan Haifeng was not careful, he could be hit consecutively. If he did not use his damage reduction skills in time, it would only be a matter of time before the whole team was wiped.
Next, there was the problem of aggro. He would often ignore the main tank's aggro and attack other players, especially those who dealt the most damage or were in charge of healing.
There were no overpowered skills in phase one. If they could overcome these two problems, they might be able to enter phase two. There was no good solution to this stage. At most, Lu Li had to keep an eye on the boss and remind Weilan Haifeng to use his damage reduction skills in time.
The battle began. General Angerford went up and slashed at Weilan Haifeng.
The two Priests in charge of healing the tank didn't let up at all. Azure Sea Breeze's HP was constantly rising and falling. In fact, it would be better if there was a Paladin. The best healer pairing in Blackrock Abyss was a Paladin, a Shaman, and a Priest or a Druid. Priests were the priority. If they couldn't find a powerful Priest, then they could bring a Druid with good equipment. After all, Resurrect was very useful in a 15-man dungeon.
"Damage reduction!" As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, he saw two consecutive critical hits float above Weilan Haifeng's head.
There were signs of a critical hit in this place. Before the critical hit was dealt, General Angerford would always pull his weapon back to his body and then attack. However, Lu Li didn't plan on telling his teammates about this. Right now, his teammates would only think that his timing was perfect.
The hardest part of the first stage wasn't that the main tank couldn't tank. This was especially true for Lu Li's team's main tank, Weilan Haifeng. If even he couldn't tank the boss, then Dawnlight probably didn't have a main tank that could.
The real difficulty was how to protect the team's healers from being one-shot by the boss.
Although this was equally difficult for an all-star team, it was much better than a normal team. After all, everyone was a professional player. If they wanted to have a foothold in the arena, the first thing they had to do was not get killed. Only by staying alive could they be useful.
When the boss charged at them, they could either escape quickly or use their damage reduction skills to tank it. With the experience from the first time, they didn't suffer any losses in this stage.
"I'm very worried about the elite teams in the guild." Jade Flower Lover dodged the boss's two-handed axe. Even after the boss was pulled away, he still had a worried look on his face. Even someone like him was in such a sorry state. There was no hope for the other teams in the guild to create a miracle.
Many of the healers didn't even touch the girls in PvP.
"There's always a solution," Lu Li replied. The real solution was for the healers to carry Engineering Dummies with them. Whenever the boss charged at them, they could just throw one in front of them. General Angerford would then kill the Engineering Dummies before going after the healers.
If the healers still couldn't escape, they could only say that they were too weak.
Of course, this method was only effective against a few bosses like General Angerford. Otherwise, if everyone brought along Engineering Dummies to tank for them, they would be able to defeat any boss.
The players' imagination was very scary. These kinds of strategies were slowly figured out by everyone.
"Alright, we're entering phase two. I think the boss will use an ultimate skill. Guru Xiao Mo, is your group damage reduction skill off cooldown?" Lu Li asked politely.
"It's done. Just say the word when you need to use it. However, the cooldown is one hour. It's best to use it when you're confident." In other words, he was just testing the boss. Lu Li, you better not waste the cooldown of his special effect.
However, Lu Li really didn't want to waste any more time with General Angerford.
Although this Boss was quite difficult, it was used to test a player's hardware. There was nothing too difficult about it. As long as one's equipment was good enough, their skills were good enough, and their control wasn't too bad, they could basically defeat this Boss.
If they couldn't even defeat this boss, they might as well just leave the dungeon and go home.
The main damage in phase two was the splash damage. General Angerford's Whirlwind was different from a normal Berserker's Whirlwind. It was actually a ranged attack. As the whirlwind spun, circles of fire elements rose from the axe's blade and shot out. Anyone who came into contact with it would receive burn damage.
Lu Li called for Xiao Mo to use his damage reduction skills. The others followed suit. Although the burn damage was not low, Lu Li and the others did not suffer any casualties.
In phase three, when General Angerford's HP dropped to 40%, he began to summon his subordinates.
It was normal for a boss to summon small monsters, but it was rare to see a boss summon this many. General Angerford's title was well deserved. Moreover, these soldiers loved him very much. They would go berserk if they weren't careful.
General Angerford could also use Battle Roar to buff the soldiers.
There were two types of monsters here. One was the Iron Rage Reserve Soldier, and the other was the Iron Rage Doctor. The former was in charge of DPS, while the latter was in charge of healing.
