Although Lu Li wanted Fei Houzi to tank the Boss, that would be too obvious of revenge, so he had to hold back. He could only secretly take out a small notebook and write down Fei Houzi's name.
Sigh, it would be great if this guy betrayed the club. That way, it would be justifiable to hunt him down.
The small monsters were almost cleared out, leaving only two patrolling on the other side of the Boss. Lu Li stopped Canmeng from taking the risk of passing the Boss. He planned to clear out the small monsters in the process of fighting the Boss. Anyway, it was impossible to kill the Boss in one go.
The routine was basically the same. They would first test the depth of the Boss.
Gruul's most unique skill was called Growth. Every 30 seconds, increase attack by 15%, increase body size by 10%, this effect could be stacked 30 times.
It was simply impossible to add 15 or 55 times and add 30 times.
No team could withstand this kind of stacking, so this Boss was also an existence that needed to be rushed quickly. They had to get rid of the Boss before the Boss wiped them out.
Heavy Strike, this skill was cast on the second most aggro in close range. The sub-tank needed to withstand this skill to reduce the damage. It could deal around 12,000 physical damage. It would be affected by armor, defensive stance, etc., and would appear every 20s.
The melee DPS had to control their aggro to be lower than the two tanks.
The Boss also had a skill called Echo, which could randomly silence a target for three seconds, so it was necessary to spread out.
There were other skills that needed to be spread out.
For example, Sinking, a random AOE skill that dealt 3,000 AOE damage every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. The range was within 8 yards of the selected target.
In the middle and late stages, the Boss would often use this skill. This skill was a physical damage skill that could be reduced by armor. Growth would also affect the damage of Sinking. If everyone was more than 8 yards apart, then it would only hit one person at a time.
Earth Slam was similar. It was a random AOE skill. The number of knockbacks depended on the position. Earth Slam would then trigger Lord Guro's Grip.
Lord Guro's Grip was more powerful. When affected by Earth Slam, it would produce a stackable negative status. Every second, movement speed would be reduced by 20%.
After a few seconds, it would be superimposed 5 times to stun, and then Gruul would "smash" all players.
Crush's damage depends on the distance between players. If two teammates are less than two yards apart, Crush can deal up to 9,000 damage.
Left and right. The farther the distance, the lower the damage. If the distance between two players was more than 10 yards, they wouldn't receive any damage.
Unlike Heavy Strike, Crushing Strike could deal a critical hit to a player. However, the player would not receive the bonus damage from Growth.
Hence, before the Stun, everyone should spread out as quickly as possible to avoid the crushing effect. Ten yards was a little difficult. There were more than 20 players in such a small space. It was impossible for them to be more than ten yards away from each other.
However, eight yards was completely doable, even for melee players.
If they stood too close, they would die in large numbers.
The team will have about 10 minutes to deal with Gruul or be dealt with. Otherwise, the stacked Attack Power of Growth would be enough to easily finish off the Main Tank. A team with high DPS would be beneficial to this battle, and Gruul wouldn't use any spells to attack, so the magic buff would come in handy.
As such, DPS became the key. This was reflected in the composition of the party, the choice of equipment, and the preparation of potions.
The equipment was the best among the current players, and the potions were no worse than any other club. With Ruling Sword's financial and resources, these didn't seem to be a problem. Compared to the difficult experience from two years ago, Lu Li felt like he was dreaming.
Gruul needed two tanks, and Weilan Haifeng and Wander were just right.
These two people didn't like each other all day, but they had grown up together. The tacit understanding of sleeping together and eating together had long been engraved in their bones. As long as they were there, Lu Li only needed to give them what they needed to do, and they didn't even need to follow up.
Because the other members of the team only received sporadic damage, they only needed a small amount of healing.
However, it couldn't be too little. After all, everyone had to be eight yards apart, so they would be too scattered. If there were too few healers, they wouldn't be able to run at all.
Six or seven healers was a suitable number, especially when the team members had adapted to Gruul's many skills and could survive for a considerable period of time. Lu Li started with nine healers, and then gradually reduced it to six.
Also, because too many melee professions would increase the difficulty of the battle, Lu Li threw most of the melee professions into the substitute position. In addition to the two tanks, there were five melee professions.
These five melee professions were Moonlight, Mu Qiu, Lu Li, Sakura Memories and Water Fairy.
As for why there were two Thieves and not other melee professions, this was naturally because Lu Li's girlfriend was a Thief. If Water Fairy was a Warrior, it would probably be a lineup of two Berserkers.
The others didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Who would dare to oppose the future Lady Boss?
After fighting twice, Lu Li really found a chance to deduct Fei Houzi's guild points. Because everyone had entered the door, after the battle started, they found that Fei Houzi was locked outside. After Gruul entered the battle, he would close the entrance door.
If you didn't have time to enter the door, you could only be a spectator outside unless everyone inside died.
"Monkey, what were you doing just now?" Lu Li was angry and amused at the same time.
Of course, he wasn't shallow enough to be happy about the opportunity to deduct Fei Houzi's guild points, but in this level of pioneering, it was too low-level to make the mistake of not entering the door and being locked outside.
"I … I was just distracted for a moment, um … I was looking at my equipment. I think there's something wrong with my equipment …" Fei Houzi was sweating profusely. He hoped that the Boss would open the door again. He would rather die inside.
"Lie, keep lying. Didn't you just pick up a girl? Wouldn't it be boring to talk to her all day long?" Weilan Haifeng punctured Fei Houzi's lie at the right time.
"F * ck, Brother Feng, you're cheating your brother," Fei Houzi was discouraged.
"You talk about being single in front of him all day long. You're pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree. He's been single for ten thousand years. It would be strange if he didn't take revenge on you," Wander said coldly.
"That's one more crime. I'll deduct 40 points." Lu Li suddenly felt refreshed.
"No!" Fei Houzi knelt on the ground heartbreakingly.
"What do you mean I'm taking revenge? I'm just doing my job. So what if I'm single? I'm eating your rice," Weilan Haifeng said angrily. "Wander, you idiot. Your aura is wrong."
Wander's Enhanced Focus Aura could assist the team's healing group. The aura's resistance to the Silence effect could stabilize the team and prevent them from being killed by the Echo skill when the Growth Stacks were too high.
Unfortunately, Wander had no chance to change his aura again. Gruul directly killed him.
"Deduct, deduct Wander's guild points. Deduct him to death," Fei Houzi and Weilan Haifeng shouted in unison.
