Chapter 177: Maybe Curses and Summoning School Go Well Together?
Zhou Li followed the path of specializing in Curse School.
Close combat wasn’t as effective as the tactics taught in the war school, with no outstanding abilities.
He relied solely on using Reverse Curse, utilizing the curse on the reversed ring to enhance his abilities until now.
It’s worth mentioning that he has already obtained the Magic Potion recipe for the second volume of the Curse School.
But there are still a few materials missing that he can’t gather yet.
So they could only wait.
This also made Zhou Li feel a bit awkward.
Even though you might think he is strong, he takes a long time to defeat small monsters on his own.
Even though you may think he is weak, when he uses Chain of Resentment, he can deal impressive damage to any boss!
It feels a bit like being average, able to have a fair fight with anyone.
Zhou Li is also troubled because his school ability isn’t meant for fighting small monsters.
Different abilities show great performance when facing bosses and some elite monsters.
It can be said that the stronger the enemy, the greater the effect of his abilities.
Casting a basic curse on an enemy, directly reducing their damage by 10%.
If the boss has 10,000 attack power, this move can directly reduce 1,000 points!
Putting it on small monsters is useless.
Suppose a small monster only has 10 attack power, then reducing by 10% is just reducing 1 point of attack power.
This makes Zhou Li wonder, did the design team originally define the Curse School as a profession specializing in fighting bosses?
Excluding curses obtained by Zhou Li through Magic Potion.
Most of the curses he can learn are targeted, and usually do not cause much damage.
The same goes for some area-of-effect curse skills.
For example, turning a group into frogs.
It only has a controlling effect, without any damage.
Meanwhile, there were ordinary professions such as Air Magic School, Water Divination School, Blazing Fire School, and Earth Divination School.
They had both individual skills and group skills.
Moreover, their damage was not low, and their efficiency in clearing groups of monsters was very high.
Compared to them, Zhou Li suddenly felt that his hidden class was not as attractive.
"How about getting a gun?"
It’s unclear which important person invented the generator, then climbed the technology tree, creating various simplified versions of modern industrial machines.
The barrel rifling was no exception.
Nowadays, most shooter players have switched to firearms and have become popular in the current version!
To sum it up in one sentence, shooter players are epic level enhanced!
With the help of the Divine Archery School’s bullet time ability, almost every one of them is a superb marksman, truly remarkable!
They fully enjoyed the benefits brought by players climbing the technology tree.
Zhou Li thought about making his own gun to take advantage of the update bonuses.
But after some thought, he realized it had nothing to do with his profession!
Does he have to completely abandon his favorite Chain of Resentment strategy and switch to using curse technique for control and ranged damage?
That definitely won’t work.
Even the most powerful shooters can’t compare to real damage!
As the only class currently with genuine damage skills, the future of the Curse school looks promising.
On the other hand, Blacks Rex is a good example.
One person overpowering twelve schools is enough to show how strong the curse school is in the later stages.
Adding on the Curse of Nowhere to Rest, with its almost immortal ability, made Zhou Li unwilling to give up this path!
Each school has its own period of power, it’s just not the curse school’s time yet.
There’s also a saying, "one generation’s version is a god, with each generation’s version being warriors."
The War school, being a worthy child of different versions, can almost match up with all schools.
There are even crazier people, combining the strongest current version of the Shadow school and Divine Archery School.
They are directly using all three methods, enjoying various version bonuses.
Let’s focus on the Holy Light guild’s Fly in particular.
He walks the path of War and Shadow dual schools.
These two schools are currently the only ones that can be switched between, naturally making them the strongest schools in the current version.
If you are skilled in both of them, you can even join the top T2 team, even if you play with your feet.
If your skills and equipment are a bit better, it’s a piece of cake to join the T1 team.
After thinking hard for a long time, Zhou Li suddenly had a bright idea!
"I can pair up with a summoning school!"
Being in a tricky position in the current version, summoning school is neither high nor low in status.
The main reason is that it lacks outstanding abilities, and the positions it can play can easily be taken over by other professions!
You say you summon a few beasts in the front row, but why don’t we look for the strongest warrior in the current version?
You say you summon a few Goblin throwers in the back row, but why don’t we look for the strongest archer in the current version?
Yes, why is that?
In the front row, there is a very strong War School, and in the back row, there is a rising army of hot weapon shooters.
What good is a summoning school for you?
Without strong control or support abilities, and with lower output than other professions, why would a team bring you along?
Countless Summoner players shouted, "Designer, why don’t you just delete the Summoner!"
Despite the calls, there are still many players who play Summoner.
After all, in a sense, this is a lazy person’s profession.
Summoned beings can automatically fight monsters, so you can hang them up to sleep and make money while the summoned beings fight for you.
Besides, who doesn’t enjoy having a group of henchmen following behind?
Zhou Li wanted to join the Summoning School early on, but a Black Rex suddenly appeared on the way.
Now it seems like maybe the Summoning School is very compatible with the Curse School, right?
Thinking carefully, the downside of the Curse School is the lack of direct attack methods, most skills only give buffs to enemies.
What if we combine that with the Summoning School?
Weakening enemies with curse techniques, would that not be equivalent to strengthening the summoned beings?
Slowing down enemies, wouldn’t that be like speeding up summoned beings?
Debuffing enemies, wouldn’t that be like increasing the damage of summoned beings?
Debuffing enemy defenses, wouldn’t that be like increasing the defense of summoned beings?
Summoners lack control skills and have no personal attacks; their only way to fight is by relying on their summoned beings.
The output of summoning creatures was somewhat unsatisfactory, which was the most fatal problem!
But if combined with the curse school, the issue of lackluster output of summoned beings could be solved!
Zhou Li directly cast a curse that exposes the opponent’s weakness, so why worry about summoned beings not outputting damage?
Furthermore, the curse school also has some positive effects on curses later on.
For example, the curses of death wish and undying wish.
One allows you to not die for a short period, and the other increases damage as your health decreases.
Combining these two buffs for summoned beings, they become invincible, it’s just perfect!
"Decision made, I’m going to change my job to Summoner!"
