After fighting this Boss a few times, Lu Li understood that he wouldn't be able to defeat it today.
He tried to adjust the team, leaving only Weilan Haifeng and swapping out all the other defensive professions. This Boss didn't need that many defensive professions. Switching out Thieves or Mages would increase the overall damage output of the team.
As for why there weren't a lot of healers coming in …
It wasn't that there wasn't a lot of pressure on the healers. In fact, the most difficult thing about this Boss was that it couldn't raise its HP. The reason why there wasn't a group of healers was because no matter how many healers there were, it was useless.
Loatheb's most commonly used skill was called Mind Corruption. A few seconds after the battle started, he would add this debuff to all healers. All healing spells and Detoxification spells would have a one-minute cooldown. In other words, healers could only use one healing spell or Detoxification spell within a minute.
Healers were practically useless. They could only help at the most critical moments.
At this time, it all depended on the club's equipment, potions and tools. Carrots, Bandages, Healing Stones, Magic Blood Potion, Powerful Troll Potion, ZG's Zanza Potion, Titan, Super Energy and other items.
In any case, as long as there was a way to heal, everyone would use it as much as possible.
On the other hand, healing potions couldn't be used at this time, so this Boss was very strange. Its methods were unheard of, and the team that fought it for the first time was very confused.
Some people said that this Boss's attack wasn't that high, and its skill damage was average. This was true, but once the enemy disabled your healer, even the weakest skill would be lethal.
The second skill was a summoning skill.
Under normal circumstances, summoning-type Bosses required other defensive professions to act as secondary tanks. However, Loatheb did not have such a need.
20 seconds into the battle, spores would be summoned from four wells. Generally, the two wells behind the Boss would spawn spores. The spores had very little HP, around 700. After killing them, they would give a buff to nearby players, increasing their Critical Rate by 50% for melee classes and 60% for spells. During this stage, all skills and damage would have no aggro. The buff lasted for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
These spores were easy to kill, and there was no need to pull aggro.
After dying, the player would receive benefits, so this skill was also classified as a Boss' suicidal skill.
Eating the spores would increase the critical hit rate, and there was no aggro value. This was equivalent to letting players attack with all their might. It was simply a little expert in the Death World.
It was generally consumed by Mages and Thieves. Berserkers could also consume it, but it wouldn't be as effective as Thieves and Mages.
Without these spores, Loatheb would be an unsolvable Boss.
Of course, things could not be so simple. Loatheb also had a skill called "Inevitable Misfortune", which was the day it was born. The entire testing ground was filled with Shadow damage. It would give all players within 100 yards a debuff that would activate after 10 seconds and cause 2500 Shadow damage. After that, it would activate every 30 seconds. When the Boss battle started 15 minutes later, the Curse of Misfortune would activate once every 5 seconds.
Inevitable Misfortune was terrifying, but the first 15 minutes were still manageable. It only activated once every 30 seconds, so everyone was able to fully recover their HP.
Once it exceeded 15 minutes, it would definitely result in a team wipe. After the healer was disabled, the damage of half HP every 5 seconds was not something anyone could endure.
The three-guild alliance had been wiped time and time again, and they had also mobilized a lot of resources, potions, and tools. Fighting Loatheb required burning money. Also, Shadow Resistance equipment and Lifesteal equipment were also valued by everyone. Not to mention Shadow Resistance, the higher the Shadow Resistance, the less damage received. Once the melee professions' Lifesteal reached a certain value, they could continuously recover HP in battle, thus reducing the pressure on the healers.
Lu Li took a few pieces of Lifesteal equipment from the club's warehouse and put them on. Although his damage output had dropped a lot, his Lifesteal had increased.
A normal attack could recover around 300 HP for himself. As long as he did not receive a direct attack from the Boss, he basically did not have to worry about the damage from "Inevitable Misfortune".
If they wanted to steadily defeat this Boss, it would actually be possible to have more Thieves. Everyone would wear some Lifesteal equipment and take turns to eat the spores. There was absolutely no need to worry about the damage. However, they could not wear too much Lifesteal equipment, or else their damage output would not be able to keep up, and the advantage of Thieves would not exist.
"My HP, my HP," Weilan Haifeng shouted.
"What are you shouting for, you're not dead yet," Sanyue Yu was usually gentle and quiet, but at this moment, she could not help but retort.
"It'll be too late if I die, sister, my life is in your hands," Weilan Haifeng said with a sad face. Usually, when he tanked the Boss, his HP was usually stable above 50%, but now it was almost down to 30%, and he still did not heal himself. He was panicking.
"Who are you calling sister, is it your sister?" Huadi Liqing was unhappy. This was his sister, and he was determined to not allow anyone to call his sister that.
"Hehe, Huahua, let me tell you something, your sister will get married sooner or later, hahaha ~" Weilan Haifeng provoked fearlessly.
"Scram, I'll kill you sooner or later, you idiot," Huadi Liqing lost his cool.
"Welcome to the German Orthopedics Department, you beast, you beast." Weilan Haifeng loved to see this kind of expression when people wanted to kill him but could not do anything to him. He hated Huadi Liqing the most when he pretended to be cold all the time.
"Stop arguing. Darkness, heal," Sanyue Yu was very angry.
Darkness raised her hand and gave a big boost, directly restoring Weilan Haifeng's HP to full, and then entered a one-minute cooldown. Sanyue Yu was responsible for coordinating the healing time of the healers. The few of them were already angry, and were not in the mood to listen to these two men quarrel like children.
Because the healers' skills all had a one-minute cooldown, they could not be as unscrupulous as before.
They had to wait until the Main Tank's HP dropped to a certain level, and then the healers would give him a strong healing skill to instantly raise his HP as high as possible. That way, they would not waste a minute.
"Let's hope it won't go Berserk this time." Seeing that they were about to enter the final moment, everyone began to pray.
At the moment, there was still a chance that Loatheb would go Berserk. At the very least, they had encountered it twice before, and the team had been wiped out. After a period of time, the game company would remove the Berserk mechanism of this Boss. After all, it was no longer possible for the healers to steadily heal, and going Berserk was simply not giving people a way out.
Perhaps it was because the prayer this time was more sincere, but Loatheb really did not go Berserk.
"It's stable," Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
