As a mage, how can you do it without AOE skills?
Chen Yang had seen it in the auction house. The lowest level of skills in this category is level 10. In other words, players must reach level 5 before they can learn it.
"AOE skills cost more and cause lower damage than single-target skills."
"Should I buy a few more silver-level skills or just buy a high-damage skill?"
Chen Yang started to think.
He first opened the properties panel.
[Player: Chen Yang]
Occupation: Ultra-Limited Mage
Level: 5 (0/5000)
Health value: 4000 (Physique
Mana: 116623 (Intelligence x200)
Spell attack: 1555 (intelligence x10 + spirit x5)
Physical defense: 100 (Physique x10)
Spell Defense: 100 (Spirit x10)
Strength: 20
Intelligence: 70 (+27)
Agility: 20
Constitution: 20
Spirit: 20
With all intelligence points added, the spell attack reached 1555 points.
"If you use an over-limit burst, a high-damage skill can kill these low-level monsters instantly!"
"Let's first take a look at the gold-level AOE skills at level 10!"
Chen Yang conducted a search at the auction house.
Set to gold level, range skill.
There are many skills that can be searched.
He looked at a skill book with the Fire Rain logo.
[Fire Rain (Gold): Consumes 2000 mana points, causing damage equal to spell attack X (200+skill level 30S Skill level: 10 Required occupation: Mage]
"Calculated based on my spell attack, the damage of Fire Rain is 1555X250%, which is 3887 points of damage."
"I wonder what the HP of that elite wild wolf is?"
"Go buy this vision skill again!"
Chen Yang did not rush to buy this skill and searched again.
Soon, he spent five hundred gold coins to buy a skill book.
[Peeping with Dharma Eyes (Silver): It consumes 1000 mana points. There is a chance to peek at a target whose level is no higher than 5 levels, and obtain its specific attributes. When used on a monster, there is a chance to peek at some of its skills and release them instantly. Maximum casting distance: 100 meters No cooldown skill level: 10 Required occupation: Mage]
After learning this skill directly, Chen Yang used it on the elite wild wolf.
The next second, the target's attributes were also exposed before his eyes.
[Wild Wolf Vanguard (Level 2)]
Level: 5
HP: 6000
Physical attack: 850
Physical Defense: 500
Spell Defense: 400
Skill: Wild Bite
Description: Be careful with its teeth. Once bitten, it will cause continuous bleeding damage!
"The blood volume is a bit high!"
Chen Yang clicked his tongue.
The attributes of second-level monsters are much higher than those of players of the same level without equipment.
If this were a BOSS, without some equipment, it might not be possible to break through even if it was hard to defend against.
"Fire Rain can do 3,400+ damage, and it won't take a second to lose even one skill."
"Then use over-limit burst?"
Chen Yang started to calculate.
The over-limit burst adds final damage. By spending four thousand mana points, you can cause 3487X (100+10%) damage, which is 3835.
"Then if 18,000 points of mana are consumed, the damage caused will be 6,276 points!"
"Calculate the consumption of silver-level skills!"
Chen Yang searched again for the damage bonus of silver-level aOe skills.
[Fire Rain (Silver): Consumes 1800 mana points, causing damage equal to spell attack X (150+skill level 30S Skill level: 10 Required occupation: Mage]
One skill can hit the elite wild wolf with 2500+ HP. You need to buy at least three range skills to achieve an instant kill.
However, compared to the gold-level skills, the aOe range of the silver skills is twice as small. Judging from the dispersion of the wild wolves, it is not necessarily possible to complete all three skills in one second.
"If you use four skills, the mana consumption will be 7,200 points, which is twice as much as the over-limit burst."
"If you factor in the price, three silver skills are cheaper than one gold skill!"
"But the casting time is a flaw!"
Although buying three skills is a good deal from all aspects, except that I can wait 5 seconds for the first skill, I obviously don’t have that much time for the following skills.
If you use over-limit spellcasting, the mana consumption will be higher than that of gold-level skills.
"Then buy gold skills!"
Chen Yang opened the auction house and spent a thousand gold coins to buy this level 10 Fire Rain.
After learning this skill, he stood within the maximum range of 50 meters and aimed at the location of the wild wolf.
The range of twenty meters is still a little short of that, and there are five or six wild wolves that have not covered it.
"Ultra-limited explosion, eight times increase in mana consumption!"
"Exceeding the limit range, double the mana consumption!"
Chen Yang thought, and the next second, the skill range of Fire Rain also received a 100% bonus with twice the mana consumption, reaching 40 meters.
This range is completely enough!
"Rain of Fire!"
Chen Yang began to sing.
After the 4S casting time, a large amount of flames fell from the top of the wild wolf's head.
-6276!
-6276!
-6276!
...
One injury after another appeared from the head of the wild wolf.
[Successfully kill the Qingfeng Wild Wolf (Level 1) and gain 500 experience points! 】
[Successfully kill the Qingfeng Wild Wolf (Level 1) and gain 500 experience points! 】
[Successfully kill the Wild Wolf Vanguard (Level 2) and gain 1,000 experience points! 】
...
[Congratulations to the player for successfully reaching level 6, gaining 5 points of all attribute improvements and 25 points of freely allocated attributes! 】
...
[Congratulations to the player for successfully reaching level 7, gaining 6 points of all attribute improvements and 30 points of freely allocated attributes! 】
With one skill, Chen Yang's experience points were directly filled up twice, and his level was also raised to level 7!
For a 20-year-old player, level 7 is indeed a bit "too much", but for a player who has been grinding monsters for less than three hours, this upgrade efficiency is a bit exaggerated!
"After the player reaches level 10, the monster that needs to kill the BOSS will drop an advanced ball. The lowest quality of the advanced ball is gold, and the highest quality is mythical."
"For gold-level advanced balls, after players advance, they will have all attributes increased to level
"Level 10 advanced balls, epic ones are already extremely rare."
Just the all attributes improved by the advanced ball will widen the gap between players, and these basic attributes will become wider and wider under the increase of those skills that increase the percentage.
In this world, even players of the same level may have vastly different basic attributes.
Chen Yang took a look and found that the price of the level 10 gold advanced ball in the auction house was not high, only three thousand gold coins.
But at the jade level, the price increased tenfold, reaching 30,000 gold coins.
Diamond-level ones are even more outrageous, with prices as high as 300,000 gold coins.
There is nothing for sale further up.
Chen Yang was not surprised either.
If you want to encounter a big lord-level BOSS in the leveling area, the probability is equivalent to winning the lottery.
"I still have more than three million gold coins in my hand. Forget about the diamond-level advanced ball. After level 10, you can buy an emerald-level one. There is no need to focus on the basic attributes."
"Keep grinding, and you can go back when you reach level 10!"
