"They agreed, but I took the liberty of giving them 1500 gold coins." Genhao San sent a message.
When he received this message, Lu Li couldn't even remember how many times Magmadar's team had been wiped.
This Boss was actually quite powerful.
The main reason why a team got wiped in the early stages of the game was because of AoE crowd control. Moreover, it happened not long after the battle started. The melee classes were all hit, and the aggro system completely collapsed.
After trying it out a few times, Lu Li told the melee players not to attack at the start. At the very least, they had to wait until the first fear was over before attacking. Everyone stood 35 yards away, which was the Boss's area of effect.
The melee classes did their best to hide or use their own methods to avoid the Fear.
Weilan Haifeng, on the other hand, had to build up enough aggro. He had no way of dodging.
In the beginning, he was Feared. Then, the Priest, who had been maintaining the greatest distance, had no choice but to remove the Fear. Then, the Priest and the other healers were also Feared. No one was able to heal the Main Tank. The Main Tank could only helplessly fall to the ground, and the Main Tank naturally meant that the team was wiped.
In such a chaotic battle, the other MTs had no time to establish new aggro.
As long as the Dog King charged into the formation of the cloth-clothed players, the entire team would be annihilated.
This was because the healer had been Feared, causing the tank to fall. There was also a more direct situation where the main tank was Feared, causing the aggro level to decrease. The ranged classes would then draw aggro, and the Canine King would rush over to start a massacre.
Magmadar's Main Tank was very important. They had to pull his aggro as soon as possible, and they had to pay special attention to the first Fear, because no one knew when it would happen. Then, it was the Priests who had to remove the Fear from the Main Tank as soon as possible.
Another difficulty was pulling aggro.
Under normal circumstances, the Main Tank would pull the monster's back to the team. This would reduce the range of AoE attacks to a certain extent. However, this was not the case here. Because of the Dog King in the middle, the Clerics' healing distance had been increased.
Currently, Clerics had a healing range of 40 yards. The Hound King took up 5 yards. If they healed the MTs through the Hound King, then the Clerics and other healers would be 35 yards away from the Hound King. This happened to be within the Hound King's Fear range.
If the healers were Feared, who would be able to heal the Main Tank?
These were all problems caused by fear. They could train everyone's reaction speed and positioning by wiping time and time again. Slowly, they entered phase two. In this phase, apart from fear and spitting fire in phase one, there was also the presence of a bonfire.
The players regarded Magmadar's behavior as spitting on the ground in disgust.
The thing that Magmadar spat out would form something similar to a bonfire on the ground. As long as you got close to it, you would deal damage. If you stuck close to it, the damage would be even higher. No profession would be able to last long against it.
Normally, as long as there was nothing wrong with their brains, no one would stick to a bonfire.
However, once the Boss feared them, they would lose their brains. It was even scarier than having no brains.
There were a few times when someone crawled into the fire out of fear. Fortunately, the game paid attention to harmony, or else the smell of meat would have permeated the entire dungeon.
This was because healers were under a lot of pressure. DPS classes didn't expect healers to find the time to heal them. For example, Lu Li would often bandage himself, take potions, or use the special effects of his equipment to recover his HP.
However, this wasn't a big deal. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was a test of the Priest's dispel ability. The worst part was the Enrage effect that would appear intermittently in phase two. It increased attack power by 100%, reduced the time between attacks by 50%, and had a certain chance of killing the Boss in one hit.
Phase two only appeared occasionally, but it had already caused many wipes in Lu Li's team.
Once they entered phase two, the Enrage effect would appear one after another. It was impossible for a small Hunter like Canmeng to dispel the Boss's Enrage effect.
The effect of Tranquilizing Shot was to dispel the Boss's Enrage effect. It was different from Berserk. In Dawnlight, the Berserk effect couldn't be dispelled. At the same time, it could also dispel some shield effects, especially against players. This was why this skill was more commonly used in PvP.
One thousand five hundred gold. Lu Li felt his heart ache.
However, compared to the 40 players wasting their time here, searching for that tiny, uncertain possibility, they could only swallow their anger and spend the 1,500 Gold.
Genhao San didn't reveal his identity, so the team leader didn't know that it was Ruling Sword's Lu Li who wanted this skill book.
Of course, if the team leader knew the identity of the buyer, he might have made a deal for a lower price. After all, there weren't many opportunities to be on good terms with a gaming god like Lu Li. It was even possible that he was a fan of Lu Li. If that was the case, Genhao San wouldn't have to negotiate the price so hard.
However, Lu Li and Genhao San weren't emotional people. They wouldn't take it for granted that others should try to please him.
In fact, it was more likely that it wasn't because Lu Li wanted to buy it that he gave up on the high price. Instead, he offered a higher price. An ordinary person was the buyer, and a club leader was the buyer. The price that they could offer was obviously not on the same level.
Apples from the same tree might not even sell for one dollar per pound to the poor people in the Common District, but if they were sold to the rich people in the Common District, if they didn't package it well and sell it for a few dozen dollars per pound, then the rich people wouldn't be able to lower their standards and buy it.
Taking advantage of the fact that the team was wiped, Lu Li left the Instance Dungeon and took the skill book that he had just bought.
This skill book immediately became one of the biggest investments in this Instance Dungeon. When he handed it over to Bearded Zaza, Lu Li didn't hesitate to deduct 50 points from him.
Bearded Zaza wasn't angry. Instead, he felt like he had gotten a great deal.
This was because he already knew how terrifying the price of this skill book was. It was even more expensive than the average Epic equipment.
From the very beginning, Lu Li let everyone know how much this skill book was worth.
He wasn't the kind of person who silently contributed without asking for anything in return. If he didn't say anything, how would others know how much he had gotten? Otherwise, Bearded Zaza might have felt that it was normal for him to pay 25 points. After all, this was the price that he and Canmeng had offered when they were bidding for the book.
One Tranquil Shot wasn't enough. The skill hadn't come off cooldown yet, and the Boss had already entered the Enraged state again. With a second Tranquil Shot skill book, at least in phase two, Magmadar's Enraged wouldn't be a threat anymore.
With the new skill book, Bearded Zaza took a while to get used to it. After another two or three wipes, they finally entered phase three.
Phase two wasn't anything new. It could even be said that it was a copy of phase two. The only difference was that the Enraged state had increased.
Moreover, this increase wasn't something that the Hunters couldn't handle. In theory, two Hunters could just barely dispel Magmadar's Enraged state, provided that they listened to Lu Li's commands.
