In the world of Azeroth, there is a very interesting informal statistics, which is the composition of close friends of each profession. *
According to this informal and unscientific statistics, most of the friends of warriors are priests. On the contrary, priests rarely have any good impressions of fighters; the closest friends of magicians must be able to communicate with each other frequently. Magicians with deep knowledge, and thieves often work side by side with each other to study the skills and death philosophy of Shadow Dance - this is referred to as the deep dark fantasy within the thieves guild.
The best comrades of Lucky E's Lancers are druids who can deal with various emergencies. Aloof rangers and animal trainers often don't need any friends - in fact, the latter trust their big cat friends around them more than stupidity. Human beings, as for death knights They usually have many friends and they have one thing in common, that is these people must always be prepared to die without a corpse, or spend the next life as a ghoul. A long time.
Zombies, nuns, priests, witches Such professions usually team up with each other because of their uniqueness, and the tribal symbols of Berserker and Shaman always appear in groups Well, of course in most cases In this case, the shaman will only be regarded as an honor cash machine and a large milk bottle that can be recharged after running out of health. As for the maid if you have such a reliable and trustworthy teammate in your friend list, So congratulations, you will never be lonely and cold again in your future life.
Compared with other professions, the three-series differentiation brought about by the three-series talents of the Paladin is particularly serious. An outstanding milk rider will be the object of everyone's pursuit. Anti-riders often lack trust and recognition because of their inherent deficiencies. They spend more time working silently but have no clue. As for the punishment riders, what they choose This road is inherently difficult, and there are even fewer people who can walk with it. In most cases, they can only stay with the Holy Light and faith, use their will as their flag, and forcibly carve out an impossible path among the thorns. Flat access road.
Interestingly. Except for the "most cases" mentioned above. In statistics, there is another interesting phenomenon, which is the so-called "the people who know you best are often your most powerful enemies."
Let¡¯s take the simplest example. Acts as the caster's representative. The magician profession has fragile skin and thin blood. In battles, they often become the priority targets of thieves who are known for their high bursts of latent assassinations.
But relatively speaking, the good damage and powerful control possessed by an excellent magician also make them a nightmare for thieves - a thief who cannot touch the enemy is destined to be useless. And I believe that no one would want to try the experience of dying from suffocation under endless control.
It is precisely under this mutual restraint that there are many examples of magicians and thieves unknowingly forming an indissoluble bond, and becoming close friends in the process of falling in love and killing each other. Several.
Because of this, when Gao He saw that the "friend" summoned by the magical girl Kyoko was an orc thief, he didn't show too much surprise, and more of it was taken for granted.
"Hello, I am Paladin Abu."
He kindly extended his hand to the female thief whose appearance was hidden under the veil, revealing only a pair of alert red eyes and a pair of cat ears. However, the latter was obviously not interested in his politeness.
"Why, you are confident that you can defeat me, so you take the initiative to call me for a fateful battle?"
She turned to the side, the magical girl Kyoko, who had a slightly embarrassed expression, and her tone was cold and slightly expectant.
¡°No, no, no¡I don¡¯t have the time and energy to plant flags with you. If I have the time, I might as well bring more broken pieces to earn some money for milk powder¡¡±
"etc¡¡"
Gao He interrupted the magical girl Kyoko in surprise.
"Money for milk powderare you married?"
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! How could I, at such a young age, entrust my life to others?"
"Then what you just said"
¡°Women, you should always plan for the future in advance, don¡¯t you think?¡±
"boring."
In response to the magical girl Kyoko's remarks, the orc female thief named "Hatsuchitsuki" just let out a slight scoff.
Seeing that the topic was about to be brought up by the two women into daily gossip and daily necessities, Gao He had to cough lightly and interrupt the conversation between the two again.
"This time, I asked Jingzi to invite you. I want you to join us in the Savage Gladiator Arena Tour"
"Not interested in."
To Gao He¡¯s surprise, before he could finish speaking, he was already cold-shouldered by the cat-eared female orc.?Bingdi refused.
Then, Gao He watched dumbly as she pulled out the tribal war flag and planted it in front of the magical girl Kyoko. No matter how much the female magician refused, it was of no avail.
"It's better to choose the day than to hit it. From the moment you invited me here, you have already made the corresponding awakening in your heart, right? Then come let me see the results of your practice in the outside world!"
""
In Gao He¡¯s private communication, Jingzi¡¯s helpless voice sounded.
So let¡¯s just say it, I just told you not to ask her to come.
"Anyway, we've already called her. Otherwise, you can promise her a duel, just in time to let me see how strong she is"
Under Gao He¡¯s persuasion and frequent winks, the female magician finally reluctantly began to prepare for the duel.
"Waitwhat are you doing?"
Get ready for a duel
"Didn't I saythat you're going to duel with a thief like this?"
Seeing the magical girl Kyoko stripping off her robe and trousers, leaving only a shirt with no attributes to cover up her shame, she was about to confirm the start of the duel. Monk Zhang Er was scratching his head beside him and hurriedly Ask.
Ahyou think duel equipment won't lose durability?
¡°¡Now is not the time to think about such a small repair fee!¡±
Gao He was obviously a little annoyed at the perfunctory look of the magical girl. But soon, he discovered another situation that stunned him even more.
"Youwhat are you holding in your hand?"
He pointed blankly at the orc female thief Bachi Yue, because just now, he had noticed that the two epic weapons in the female thief's hands that originally exuded a dense purple light were suddenly replaced by two
"Weapons."
That¡¯s right for thieves, they can indeed be regarded as two weapons, but the problem is
Those two are just skinning knives! It is indeed a skinning knife!
For professional skinning players, this is an essential tool for skinning that can be bought at a grocer for just one silver coin, while for more ordinary players - especially women like the magical girl Kyoko who are careful about their lives - ¡ª Come on. The skinning knife, the miner's pickaxe, the wrench, and the fishing rod are collectively known as the "Four Artifacts for Destroying Dungeons". Used to replace the weapon in hand at a critical moment to reduce equipment durability consumption caused by death and save repair costs.
No matter what, this is a skinning knife with a basic attack power of 1-1. The result of using it in a PK duel is like Gao He waving a fishing rod to challenge the Hanged Man - of course. At least the thief is better than him when holding a skinning knife. Because according to the setting of the Azeroth world, the skinning knife can be regarded as a dagger after all
"Is this how you two usually duel?"
Looking at these two serious women, one is holding two artifacts. The other one, with his bare buttocks and empty hands, wanted to start a so-called "fatal showdown" in such a grand manner at the gate of Shattrath City. Gao He finally couldn't control his strong desire to complain.
"How about you two just strip naked and have a fist fight?! This way it's more straightforward, isn't it?!"
"That's not fair."
The female thief glanced at Gao He as if he were a fool.
"ha?"
"The thief's unarmed attack has 350 points. You don't even know this. No wonder Jingzi said you are just a novice."
""
???????????????????????????????? I¡¯ve been criticized in turn again, and this time it really hurts to be slapped in the face by a stranger on the spot.
As one of the few races and professions in the game that can use glove-type weapons, the weapon skills of the orc thieves naturally include "unarmed". If it were really a bare-handed fight, it would actually be a female orc named Baoshizuki. excellent.
"Oh, so I just said that no matter what I wear, I'm fine. Xiaobai is just being pretentious."
The magical girl Kyoko also joined in the conversation at this time.
"Anyway, the battle between thieves and magicians is like this. No matter it is me or her, as long as they are caught, they will definitely die!"
""
That¡¯s right.
Suddenly he realized something and closed his mouth knowingly.

The duel begins!
When the tribal war flag was fluttering in the breeze of Terokkar Forest, the female orc Bachi Yue had already quietly disappeared, and the naked magical girl Kyoko had lost her usual carefree look at this time. He looked so engrossed.
There is no doubt that this duel is something Gao He has never imagined or experienced. Regardless of the equipment gap between the two sides, under the premise of being at the same level, they only rely on the most basic attacks and skills to decide the outcome.
Although the attack power of a thief using a skinning knife is low, facing a naked mage without any armor, as long as he is skilled and has the right combination of skills, he can still cause fatal cumulative damage.
Without equipment and weapons, a magician who is completely unable to inflict damage can only rely on the most basic damage in spells to subdue a thief. To survive this duel, all he needs is almost There is no possibility of any omissions in the double guarantee of control and escape.
In fact, from the very beginning of this duel, Gao He had understood that if he could really get these two women to form a team this time, not only would he not be held back, but he would still find a treasure. .
"Ah, here we go againI can't change my sneaky personality. My time is very precious."
Standing next to the duel flag, the magical girl Kyoko complained every time, but the skills in her hands never stopped for a moment.
Gao He could clearly see the skills this woman used to detect the stealth of thieves. It is the magician's most powerful AOE skill "Blizzard" in the dungeon. However, now that she is naked, her magic value has also lost the equipment bonus. If she uses the skill so frequently, she will not be left with empty blue when she actually enters the battle. And fall into passivity?
"That's not right"
He originally thought so, but soon changed his mind.
Without him, nearly 20 seconds have passed since the duel started. The blizzard has never stopped, but the magical girl Kyoko's magic power has hardly been lost at all.
"By the way this woman has not entered the battle yet, and what she used is probably only Level 1 Blizzard."
Without entering into combat. The caster's magic recovery will be five times that of when entering the battle. Even if there is no equipment bonus and only supported by his own intelligence, this recovery speed is enough to support the magical girl Kyoko endlessly using the extremely low magic consumption level 1 blizzard.
and. When she consciously began to use skill coverage to compress the range and space where the sneaking thieves could hide. As the active attacking party in this duel. The orc Bachizuki finally lost the patience to continue looking for opportunities, and launched a surprise attack from a strange angle!
"over there!"
Gao He almost screamed - no one could see it more clearly than him, the bystander. Because the moment Bachizuki's figure appeared, its location was not in any direction he had speculated before, but in an area after the blizzard that the female magician had just unleashed!
In a sense, this is almost equivalent to a blind spot. No one would have expected that she would quietly move to such a dangerous area in a stealth state, and find a place for herself without being affected by the snowstorm. An excellent opportunity to attack!
He was surprised, but the magical girl Kyoko seemed to have expected this all along. Almost the moment the skinning knife pierced her skin, a cold arc suddenly bloomed from her body.
Frost Nova!
Click!
Almost at the same time that Kyoko herself was hit by this sneak attack and fell into a coma, the frost nova she cast also froze Hachizuki in place.
"this¡¡"
Gao He frowned slightly - in fact, the skill response just now was undoubtedly a wrong demonstration by a magician against a thief, because the frost nova's freezing could only have a movement restriction effect, which did not prevent the thief from continuing to attack at all. The magician fell into a coma after the sneak attack.
In more cases, the magician's method of dealing with sneak attacks is to use frost armor to absorb this batch of damage, and when the thief accumulates enough energy points to release a kidney shot with a longer stun duration, he can use flash to escape from the attack and relieve the coma. .
Handing over the frost nova prematurely, which has a cooldown time of 15 seconds, means that in the next 15 seconds, the magical girl Kyoko will have no effective skills to get rid of the thieves. The key now is to hand over the frost nova. With this skill, she still cannot avoid this round
"Um?!"
Gao He, who had already anticipated the next series of confrontations, was shocked by the scene in front of him.
?Yes, the magical girl Kyoko did fall into a coma after the sneak attack, but she did not use the flash technique again.
That¡¯s because Bachi Yue, who was frozen in place by her Frost Nova, tried several times with the skinning knife in her hand, but it was only so close to her back!
"How is this going?"
His doubts were soon answered by the magical girl Kyoko who woke up from a coma.
¡°So let¡¯s just say, you discovered my habit of suddenly turning around and releasing blizzards continuously after releasing a blizzard once, but this habit was deliberately added to my last 200 duels! How is it! Are you surprised?!"
""
Really, just for such a duel, you have secretly planned it for so long, and you still keep showing "unwilling" As expected, a woman's mind is really unfathomable.
When a thief's movement trajectory has been deliberately guided in such a subtle way, then it is possible to predict the direction of his attack in advance. Because of this, just when Hachizuki launched a sneak attack, the magical girl Kyoko In addition to a long-planned Frost Nova, he also took a step forward the moment the sneak attack approached.
One step, one yard. For the battle between ordinary players, this yard distance is not important. However, it is this yard distance that allows the magical girl Kyoko to escape from the melee attack of Hachizuki while she is unconscious. The range made her subsequent series of attacks completely in vain.
But now, the 4 seconds of coma time has passed, and the effect of Frost Nova has also been lifted. It seems that the two of them returned to the starting line at the same time, but the actual situation is Hachichi Yue, who has escaped from stealth and entered the battle, at this moment He fell into a huge disadvantage that was almost impossible to recover from!
"So fast!"
Although she was showing off triumphantly, the magical girl Kyoko's hands were not ambiguous at all. Almost in the blink of an eye, an ice arrow fell on Yachizuki who was trying to break in and start the offensive again, causing her to be covered in blood. Ice-cold frost gathered.
Gao He, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, was amazed - although the female magician's usually frugal and almost stingy character often made him feel meaningless, but now, the fighting methods used by this woman also implemented this style and were seen frequently. Wonderful effect.
What she used just now was a level 1 ice arrow with almost negligible damage. However, it is obvious that she did not use this skill to cause high damage, but just to make Bachi Yue move. The speed just slowed down again!
As the skill level and power increase, the chanting time required by the caster also increases accordingly. For the same Ice Arrow, the chanting time of level 1 only takes 1.2 seconds, while the chanting time of level 8 Ice Arrow is as high as 2.5 seconds. What this 1 second or so brings in a duel is the difference between victory and defeat!
¡°Hmph¡boring trick.¡±
Seeing that the pace was slowed down and the distance between the two people was once again widened, Hachizuki snorted coldly and activated the thief's signature skill - sprinting without hesitation!
As a profession known for its speed and agility, the thief's sprint is a nightmare for many long-range and legal professions. After turning on the sprint, the additional 100% movement speed is increased, allowing the thief to easily get behind anyone and play a set. The dazzling attack, while going around the back, also means that the thief himself can also take advantage of this time to avoid most of the attacks and spells that can only be used and chanted when facing the target.
That's right, in the hands of a real master thief, sprinting is not just an escape and pursuit skill, but an equally excellent defensive skill. And now, in Gao He's eyes, the eight-foot moon is exactly the one who can use sprinting. A master who uses both defensive and offensive skills!
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! What annoys you the most are thieves who are running around without thinking! They have no technical content at all!"
The 40% deceleration of the Ice Arrow is almost negligible under the effect of sprinting, and the distance that has just been opened is immediately overtaken. When the magical girl Kyoko's next Ice Arrow chant is caused by the gorgeous arc of the eight-foot moon. When her back was forced to interrupt, it also meant that she had to face a new round of violent attacks from this thief! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
