Chapter 8: The Inaugural Warlock

Level 1 walking corpses are very slow, with an average agility of only 4, which is about the same as a human walking speed, but has a lot of strength, 8 to 10 points, which is about the same as that of an adult woman, and is not the kind of close relative in the movie who will suddenly accelerate when walking behind a living person - although it is similar in appearance.

Using the same trick to dissipate the soul fire of the third walking corpse, the alloy window strip made an overwhelmed sound and snapped.

Ye Ningning pulled out the alloy window strip and saw that the top had been submerged in the head of the walking corpse, and it had become pitted, as if it had been corroded by concentrated acid.

"Things that don't have attributes are easy to be corroded by negative energy. Ye Ningning said in his heart, "Another ...... has been verified"

This is a world that is similar to but different from his previous life, and since his soul was reborn in this body, Ye Ningning has discovered too many differences.

Although so far, the one-to-one correspondence between the details of the game and the experience of the previous life does not seem to be disturbed by the butterfly effect, Ye Ningning still will not be careless, otherwise it will be a joke if he struggles to live eight years later in his previous life, and dies in this life due to the mistake of thinking inertia.

Killing two more level 1 walking corpses and increasing their experience points by 20, Ye Ningning did not hesitate to add them to the civilian profession.

“…… When you reach level 10 of the civilian class, you gain 30 skill points. ”

“…… You have reached the max level of your base class and can start the combat class. Is it on?"

"On. ”

Ye Ningning naturally will not have a second choice.

“…… Open the Combat Class...... The Combat Class Template is merging ......"

It seemed to be extremely cold, but it was also extremely hot, as if there was an electric current spreading from the brain to every cell, and the limbs were crawling like ten thousand ants, and people couldn't help but want to shout.

But for Ye Ningning, who has endured pain that ordinary people can't bear for a long time, this feeling is nothing at all.

Just for a moment, the tingling and unbearable feeling receded, as if an invisible window opened, and the pores of the whole body suddenly broke the invisible barrier on the surface of the body, "seeing" the reality of the world, Ye Ningning suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more in the air around him - invisible, intangible, but real, as dense and small as particles, widely distributed throughout the space, omnipresent, like the ocean.

These are antimatter particles.

With the experience of the previous life, Ye Ningning was not surprised by this strange experience at all.

"The last time I opened the combat career template, I didn't have such a clear feeling, is it because the perception attribute is 5 points more than in the previous life?, or is it because of charm?" Ye Ningning thought.

“…… You have opened the Combat Class Template. ”

“…… As the first player to open the Combat Class Template, you earn 1000 General XP. ”

The XP reward for the first combat class is ten times that for the first landing, which is equivalent to killing 100 walking corpses alone.

Ye Ningning was not surprised.

Earth Online is a game that encourages self-improvement, with the less luck component rewarding the first place.

It is also the first place in the competition of seven billion people in the world, the first landing only needs to kill one monster, and the experience points required to open the combat profession for the first time even if the previous rewards are counted, at least two more walking corpses need to be killed, Ye Ningning completed it in the first minute of the monster's arrival, and the gold content is of course higher than that of the first landing.

“…… Please select a combat class. ”

The thoughts in his mind changed, and eleven professional images with a soft glimmer appeared in his mind:

A brave and fierce barbarian, a free bard, a devout and dedicated priest, a druid who worships nature, a valiant warrior, a warrior monk who has returned to his roots, a holy knight who keeps his creed, a wild and healthy ranger, a versatile wanderer, a gifted warlock, and a wise and intelligent mage.

If you put your mind together on the name of a profession, a detailed explanation of the corresponding name will appear.

There is no need to read and consider it slowly like the players who opened the combat career template for the first time, Ye Ningning directly condensed his thoughts on the penultimate self, who was dressed in a red robe and looked lonely and arrogant.

"[Warlock]: A caster who is born with magical abilities, the main attribute is charisma, the secondary attribute is Constitution and agility, the faction is unlimited, and the faction is more inclined to the chaotic faction. ”

"Choose a Warlock. ”

“…… You have chosen the Warlock class. ”

"A first-level warlock needs to consume 1000 experience points, is it upgraded?"

The remaining ten classes became smaller, and only the red-robed warlock stood out, constantly expanding, and occupied all the space in an instant.

The experience pool was emptied, and the 1,000 experience points just gained turned into a warm stream of heat that flowed throughout the body.

“…… You have opened the combat class and advanced to level 1 Warlock. ”

“…… You gain 1 free stat and 24 skill points. ”

“…… As a level 1 Warlock, you can comprehend four 0-ring spells and two 1-ring spells...... Now open the comprehension space......"

In my mind, a black singularity gradually expands, gradually turning into an oval space.

Two auras appeared in the oval space, the lower one was dimmer and the upper one was slightly brighter, and there were hundreds of spell symbols in each aura.

The spell symbols in these two rings represent the 0-ring spell and the one-ring spell that Ye Ningning can comprehend.

It may be that Ye Ningning's charm attribute is three points more than in his previous life, and he has reached the full value of the initial single attribute, the number of these spell symbols has increased by half compared to his previous life, and it is estimated that ninety percent of the 0 ring and 1 ring spells are here.

Warlocks are natural spellcasters, they don't need spell books, they don't need to learn, they rely on talent to automatically comprehend spells.

Compared with the mages who also take the pure spell casting route, the warlock can automatically obtain spells while advancing the level, and there are more spell slots than the mage every day, which sounds like an obvious advantage, and the initial combat effectiveness is very enviable to the mage.

But as a demon warlock who had been promoted to the fourth order, Ye Ningning knew very well that there was no real waste profession in "Earth Online", only waste players, and there would never be any profession that could dominate.

The biggest disadvantage of the warlock profession over the mage is that the comprehension of the spell is completely random, and you can only look at God's face, and although the mage has to work hard to fight monsters and buy spell books, he can freely choose and combine, adjust according to his own attributes and needs, and have strong adaptability and survivability after formation - if the player who chooses this profession has enough brains.

To put it simply, the Warlock takes the output route and is a humanoid turret, while the Mage is a typical example of the accumulation of late spell combinations, biased towards the field controller, both of which are completely in line with the class description: talent and wisdom.

Of course, in fact, warlock players can't have any bloodline, so the way they comprehend spells is to enter the comprehension space when they are promoted, and randomly draw spells from the spell aura to be selected as the spells they comprehend after promotion.

Ye Ningning stared at the two auras.

Compared with the eight-ring and nine-ring spell aura after the fourth order, the aura rotation speed of the 0-ring trick and the 1-ring spell is very slow, and the spell symbols inside are relatively clear.

If it is a first-time player, no matter how slow the aura rotation speed is, no matter how clear the spell symbols are, it is useless to not know which one is which, so you can only close your eyes, cover your head and choose randomly, and pray that your luck is not too bad.

But for Ye Ningning, the 0 ring and 1 ring spells were the spells she used the most, and most of the spell symbols in the aura were as familiar as fingerprints.

Even if the previous [Spell Recognition] skill was not brought over, Ye Ningning could still identify at least two-thirds of the spell symbols without much effort.

(To be continued)

A slight change has been made to the Warlock and Mage classes, removing the requirement for Mages to prepare spell slots in advance.

After all, this is the end of the world, and no one can really study spells for dozens or hundreds of years like the mage in the DND setting, and they can play the 0 ring spell to the end, for ordinary people who don't know anything about spells at all. If the mage profession has to prepare spells in advance, the mortality rate is too high, and in the real apocalyptic game, the mage seems to be very weak, the profession is unbalanced, and no matter how strong it is, it can only rely on the team.

So the changes to the Warlock and Mage classes are:

Warlocks have a lot of spell slots (that is, spells that can be cast every day) every day, but they can't freely choose which ones to learn;

Mages have unlimited spells that can be learned, but have fewer spell slots per day than Warlocks (3 0 rings and 1 1 ring per day for level 1 mages, 5 0 rings and 1 1 ring for Warlocks).

Both have their own strengths, the Warlock is biased towards the turret output, the Mage is biased towards field control, the Warlock is stronger in the early stage, and the Mage is biased towards the late profession, I think this setting is more balanced in the realistic doomsday game.
