Chapter 181. First Wave
The tanks in the front line has formed a rigid, impregnable defense line, while the ranged attackers standing behind them had started to cast their AoE skills at the monsters that were grouped tightly together!
Zhang Yang cast <Horizontal Sweep> and dealt more than '3200+' damage to all monster in the semi-circular area in front of him. He then stomped the ground and cast <Thunder Strike> dealing another '444' damage! Wham! <Blast Wave> was cast and a similar '444' damage was dealt.
In this chaotic situation, all skills and attack could only be cast upon instinct, not anticipation of the enemy's actions. As a tank, he must stand his ground firmly without moving around. He needed to make sure that no monsters could get pass him or else they would threaten the attackers standing behind. The number of monsters were pouring in like tsunami in the ocean. No one knew exactly how many monsters are there behind the front line! How much could a single tank handle? Only a full battalion of tank could do so much.
While the monsters around Lone Desert Smoke and Crimson Rage were blocked off, not all player were able to perform just as strong as them. Other side of the warzone, monsters had already penetrated the player defense line and had clashed with the NPC army.
The sound of war echoed throughout the field, clashing and banging of metal against metal. This is the true opening of the full-scale warfare in 'God's Miracle'!
With the level 50 Yellow-Gold Dragon Tooth Battle Axe in his hand, a full Gray-Silver tier equipment clad his body, coupled with the 50% defense negation passive, even as a tank, Zhang Yang's damage output was overwhelmingly devastating! Especially when he had use <Horizontal Sweep>, he could easily deal 3200 or more damage and 6400+ if it was a critical strike! If he got a Lucky strike, his damage will burst out with a 9600+ damage. It was enough to trigger a heart attack to anyone who witness his power!
Is...is this motherf*cker really a Guardian?!
Tanks regardless of class had one unique AoE skill for themselves. A Guardian had <Thunder Strike> while a Defender had <Devotion>. Defenders also had <Spike Shield> which only trigger when one was attacked. Zhang Yang was an odd ball among all tanks, as other than <Thunder Strike> he also had <Horizontal Sweep> and <Blast Wave>!
In a fight like this, with tanks standing in the front line with that many attacks, their Rage would be built up without limit and they could just simple cast all their skills once the cool down finishes. With <Horizontal Sweep> alone, Zhang Yang had already on par with Spellcasters and Hunters in terms of damage. Adding on <Thunder Strike> and <Blast Wave> to the equation Zhang Yang had long exceeded the rest of the attack and became the strongest attacker in the field. He was obviously ranked first in the contribution list and left the second ranked player far behind.
