Chapter 1091: Bring The Tanks
Hugo arrived within ten minutes, accompanied by a group of six Overlord Ranked warriors with powerful builds.
“Miss Dana, thank you for the update. I brought the primary tanks from the twenty-five and forty person Overlord Raid teams. Both teams struggle to keep enough healers, as they run multiple times a week.” Hugo greeted her as one of the Gargoyles opened the door for him.
“Is that a gargoyle?” One of the warriors asked, then paused halfway through reaching down to pet the small creature.
“Indeed it is. They’re friendly if you’re friendly, though.” Dana agreed.
The Warrior smiled and ran his hand down the Gargoyle’s furry back as he followed the group in.
“So, the Darklight Host has three clerics, a Mage subclass and a Bear Tank Berserker at the Overlord Rank now. Ask what you need to know.” Hugo informed his Warriors.
The Warriors looked at the group, and decided to start with Dana and Ophelia.
“What are your specialties?” A dragonkin man with scales down one side of his face asked.
“I am a Mystic Blademaster, so my specialty is a pair of Golems with [Auto Parry] and greatly increased attack speed. I can fight either at short range or long, but the Golems are best up close.” Dana replied.
“My new class is Ursine Avenger, and it’s actually specialized in group damage reduction and self-healing in giant Dire Bear form.” Ophelia added.
“Group Damage Reduction?” The tank asked.
“I have [Limited Invulnerability] and a skill to redirect a portion of group damage to myself. So, I can tank a portion of the damage that the whole group would normally take, and shrug it off, as long as the transferred damage pulses aren’t more than Limited Invulnerability can deal with.
If it gets too much, I can turn that off, but I am quite durable, and I have Bestial Regeneration as well, so I don’t need too much healing.”
The Warrior chuckled. “So, you’re saying that you’re actually best suited as a Main Tank, but you prefer an off tank, or support warrior role? Alright, we can work with that.”
Ophelia smiled. Being the main tank came with requirements of knowledge and guidance. They were the team leaders by default, as they were responsible for keeping the monsters under control.
So, she wasn’t at all upset about a role as supporting damage reduction and crowd control.
“I’m a healing tree.” Lotus informed the group of tanks proudly, then laughed at their confused expressions.
“[Tree of Life] healing transformation. I specialize in large area and long duration healing.” She elaborated.
Tessa nodded politely at the group. “I can heal as well as any other Cleric, but Red Dragon Clerics specialize in combat buffs, increasing the damage and defence of the group. I am a capable combatant when needed, but I don’t lack for healing.”
Finally, Nachtia shrugged. “I’m an Overlord Ranked Black Dragon. I can heal, I can kill. Both please the goddess. I don’t have as many area healing spells as Lotus, but I do have significant area damage abilities.”
Now that she thought about it, she should get Karl to teach her those healing totems. They would be incredibly useful in a Dungeon setting. Hopefully, she could use them, as they were a nature oriented spell, and she was generally considered the reverse scale of all things natural.
Quinn, the warrior who had been doing the questioning, smiled at the group. “Well, that’s a pleasant change from most of the other Clerics. The White Dragon Clerics are very ’We heal, what more do you want?’ and the healing Shamans are always out of mana.”
Lotus shrugged. “We’ve all gotten so used to having [Eternal Lightning] on us in this group that we don’t even have to think about mana in most fights. Even the mages struggle to run out with that level of regeneration. But even without it, my spells are very efficient, and I’ve got a huge amount of mana cost reduction and added healing on my gear.”
“Is that something you can do while in another group?” Quinn asked, confused.
Lotus shrugged. “Maybe. We can ask the Karl to make us something with the spell on it, so the healers don’t run out of mana. Usually, Thor casts it. The behemoth.”
The warrior looked confused. “You have a behemoth tanking for the group?”
Lotus frowned. “Of course not. Tessa rides him into combat. The golems tank.”
Karl resisted the urge to laugh as the whole group of Overlords tried to determine how their whole battle strategy worked. How could they have Golems doing all the tanking while they had a Behemoth and a giant Dire Bear in the group?
Where did they even deploy?
“Oh, next time, we should have Rae make her Spectral Knights tank. There are a bunch of them, and they’ve got shields.” Lotus added helpfully.
Karl patted her head. “We’re talking about you and the others joining Overlord Ranked missions, and Rae is a Totem now. It would be a bit unfair to let her loose in an Overlord Ranked Dungeon.”
Quinn chuckled. “Just how many summoned helpers does your group have in total?”
Lotus quickly counted on her fingers. “Dana’s five, Karl’s five, Rae has two plus the dozen or so undead, then Remi has two. So, twenty?”
Quinn blinked slowly at her attempt to do math.
It was a good thing that the Green Dragon had chosen this one, she had given up on the calculations halfway through.
“So, with just the six of you, you’ve got a whole raid team worth of fighters? Or, at least melee combat golems?”
Lotus nodded. “But some of them are advanced ones that can use magic from a distance.”
The Warrior sighed. “If only they were all still Overlords. We could steam roll the Dungeon.”
Hugo shrugged. “I’m sure that the Totem Rank teams will be plenty happy to have him once he finishes with the backlog of orders that we placed.”
The Warriors rolled their eyes at him while he wasn’t looking their way.
There was no ’we’ as far as they were concerned. They hadn’t gotten a chance to make custom orders like the more powerful members had. They just bought out what they could from the Guild Store and hoped for the best in the next round of restocked items.
