Chu Tian had just switched to his bear form, preparing to draw aggro on this wave of monsters.
A voice from above reached him.
"Holy crap, what is this thing… Zui Niang Tou…"
Without looking up, Chu Tian knew who it was.
On the fourth level, Chu Tian had arranged the formation.
Following him was Zhao Lei, the only tank in the party.
At this moment, he was no longer a shield warrior.
But a Brewmaster…
Up to now, Chu Tian still didn't know what the Brewmaster class's mechanics were like.
However, at this moment, he saw Zhao Lei's figure in mid-air.
He threw the wine barrel on his back.
*Boom…*
It directly smashed into the middle of the skeleton warriors.
A dull thud resonated.
As his wine barrel landed, it created an impact wave, directly dealing damage to this group of skeletons.
At the same time, the wine barrel sprayed out a liquid like a mist.
Carrying a rich aroma of wine.
The skeletons that were hit clearly felt their movement speed reduced significantly, by about 30%.
-1256!
-1569!
-3215! (Critical Hit)
"Whoa, your damage is that high? You're the tank?"
Chu Tian saw a string of numbers floating above the heads of countless monsters.
Zhao Lei's damage in this single move was almost as high as a DPS player with ordinary equipment.
And it was AoE damage…
Before Chu Tian could finish marveling,
Zhao Lei, still in mid-air, took out a staff.
He twirled it in his hand, and a green whirlwind rose from his feet.
Circling around Zhao Lei.
Upon landing, Chu Tian understood the function of this whirlwind.
Any monster that got close to Zhao Lei would suffer continuous damage from the whirlwind.
However, the damage was like scratching an itch.
All of it was: -23, -65, -35…
But the frequency was very high.
"Breath of Fire…" Zhao Lei opened his mouth.
He actually spat out a fan-shaped flame.
As he swung his head, it swept over all the skeleton warriors in front of him.
Seeing this, Chu Tian finally understood the purpose of the liquid sprayed from the wine barrel.
The skeletons that were splashed with the wine liquid instantly ignited when Zhao Lei's flames swept over them.
The continuous debuff burned the skeletons.
The damage-per-second was also very fast.
The numbers were around 100-200.
Occasionally, critical hits doubled the damage.
The skeletons that were not sprayed with wine directly suffered over 500 damage and that was it.
They were not ignited by the flames…
It seemed that his Zui Niang Tou had a linking effect with Breath of Fire.
"Haha, I can finally AoE pull monsters! As a shield warrior, pulling monsters one by one and cutting them down was killing me!"
Zhao Lei saw that all the skeleton warriors' aggro was stably drawn by him.
He became complacent and excited…
"Don't get too happy too soon. With such high damage, we don't know how durable you are. If your durability isn't good, it's all for nothing!"
Chu Tian couldn't help but worry seeing his demeanor.
At this moment, everyone in the party had also descended and stood beside Chu Tian, watching Zhao Lei perform.
"Durability? Boss, let me tell you, as long as the healer can keep me up, nothing can one-shot me. Watch this!"
*Whoosh…*
The guy used some skill and darted out.
Headfirst, like an arrow…
He directly plunged into the monster pile.
"Crane Kick…" The guy shouted.
He spun around in the monster pile.
It was like dancing ballet…
Infinite spinning.
While spinning, he could also reposition…
It was somewhat similar to a warrior's Whirlwind, but they wielded weapons and spun like a fan.
Zhao Lei, on the other hand, just… well… couldn't describe it. The word "ballet spinning" was the most apt.
-256!
-345!
-685!
Countless numbers floated above Zhao Lei's head.
Those were the damage numbers he was taking.
Heng Dao, Qin Yao, and Lin Yu saw this scene.
They raised their staves…
But simultaneously stopped their actions.
"Huh… Why isn't Brother Lei losing health?" Lin Yu asked in surprise.
There were twenty to thirty monsters surrounding Zhao Lei and attacking him.
The damage numbers were also floating above his head, but he… really wasn't losing health.
"It's not that he's not losing health, look at the party buffs, what's on him?"
Chu Tian said slowly…
Everyone shifted their gaze to the party health bar.
At Zhao Lei's avatar, there was a debuff.
The name displayed was Drunken Fist Pool… Mild Drunken Fist.
Effect: Takes xx damage every 0.5 seconds, which is stored in the pool!
This damage was dynamic, constantly changing and increasing.
Currently, the damage received per second was only in the double digits.
It was likely that the direct damage Zhao Lei received was stored in the pool.
And then it was continuously drained as a debuff.
No wonder they couldn't see him losing health.
Damage taken every 0.5 seconds with only dozens of points, it was indeed hard to notice.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
"Mistweaver Monks might be on the rise!" Chu Tian said lightly.
"Why?" Meng De Bi An, which was Qin Yao, inquired clearly.
"I think among the newly released Monk classes, one spec should be a tank!
Perhaps it has the same defense mechanism as Lei Zi's Brewmaster.
You see, he can convert direct damage into a debuff.
Besides Druid Mistweavers, no other healing class has all their healing spells as HoTs… continuous healing, right?
For other tanks, every hit taken results in direct health loss. Mistweavers are not recognized precisely because they lack burst healing.
What if tanks are like Brewmasters? Think about it…"
Chu Tian smiled and looked at Qin Yao.
Her eyes also slowly lit up.
One continuously losing, one continuously gaining…
They were indeed a perfect match!
If more players rerolled to Monk, and this class proved to be powerful…
The main tank positions in the party might change.
However, they didn't know how this class would actually perform.
What they were seeing from Zhao Lei was just the tip of the iceberg.
These monsters were trash mobs, not bosses.
A tank with such high damage and AoE pulling capabilities…
It was unknown if he could withstand the intense damage from bosses when tanking solo.
"Brother Lei's Drunken Fist mitigation has turned yellow, Moderate Drunken Fist."
Lin Yu observed and reminded everyone.
Zhao Lei's health also began to decline.
"Heal me…"
The guy finally spoke at this moment.
Qin Yao raised her hand, and a jade-green light landed on Zhao Lei's head. It was a Renew spell.
This most basic continuous healing skill directly stabilized Zhao Lei's declining health trend.
-256! +369!
-264! +369!
-278! +738 (Critical Hit)!
