The Dryads area healing spells cured poison every second as they healed, so the group members weren’t even noticing the damage from the ranged attacks. It was only a small amount per second, but it added up fast, as it stacked if it wasn’t cured.
However, when you had Dryad Queens curing you every second, that never happened.
At first, they didn’t realize what was happening.
Karl was the healer for the run, even though he hadn’t personally cast a single healing spell yet. He cast [Eternal Lightning] on the group, but the Dryads did all the actual healing.
They weren’t looking back to see who was doing what.
All that they knew was that there was a barrier on them, and there were no negative effects stacking up on them. With that, they could pummel the surprisingly durable flying insects with blade skills until they fell from the sky to be torn apart by Carnage.
Two pulls into the fight they had realized that Carnage was a real dungeon boss, fighting on their team, and duplicated.
The combat power of an Epic Golem was simply too high to be in any way balanced against a regular warrior’s Class abilities. They had all heard about the chances to get advanced classes from the others around town today.
But they were quickly learning that it was more than just a small boost to your abilities.
"Hey, are those skills something that you can get with an advanced class?" One of them called over his shoulder as the second plague rider fell.
"They are. But usually, it’s advanced mages who get better golems. The next step for most warriors are Blood Knights and Paladins unless they’ve got an Epic Skill or something extra special to get them past the small jump."
The warrior sighed and one of the others patted him on the shoulder.
"It is what it is. But I’m already a Blademaster Class. So, I’m hoping for something cool once I can find an Epic Grade or higher skill that suits me. They’re not easy to get anyone to sell."
Karl laughed. "Oh, I know. The Darklight Host has the ability to transfer some skills, but the cost is prohibitive. After all, an Epic item and an Epic Skill are on an entirely different valuation scale."
"Your Guild knows an Epic Grade warrior skill?"
"Warrior, mage, shaman, cleric, druid, berserker. We’ve diversified."
The warrior put a hand over his heart as the other swung his sword, hacking apart plague demons.
"I swear, the Gods are not fair to us all. I worked so hard to get my Guild stable, and yet everywhere that I go, I see others doing better."
"I wouldn’t compare against the Darklight Host. It’s an interplanetary Guild with members all the way up to Demigods. I’m just a small fry so sad they sent me a half dozen Supremes from the backup roster, so I didn’t accidentally embarrass them."
