Chapter 5: Customizing the Skill Tree

Xia Chiyu can actually be regarded as a support mage, and the core skill of his custom skill comes from the passive skill of "Elemental Fusion Theorem". That is, the seven elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder can be fused together to become light elements, so light mages can use the magic of any of these seven elements.

This idea comes from the dispersion of light, which was taught in junior high school physics, and after light is dispersed, it can form the seven colors of the rainbow, which correspond to the colors of the seven elements in AO. But this passive is balanced by the system, and the other spells that can be used are only those that come with the system, and you can't customize skills, and you must meet the level and attributes.

In addition, although the spells of the other system do not occupy Xia Chiyu's own skill column, the system also limits the number of this skill in order to balance, and each level can only choose one additional other skill. This is enough for Xia Chiyu, the auxiliary system doesn't need much magic in the first place, just a few key things.

It's just that Xia Chiyu's skill tree is actually a combat-type mage that is biased towards PvP, which is completely opposite to support.

The first thing you need for a perfect custom skill tree is the basic skills that fit your habits. The spells of the light system are very monotonous, lacking strong control, strong attack and defensive skills, so Xia Chiyu used the elemental fusion theorem to enrich the skill tree. You can use a variety of magic to attack, bind, and defend your enemies.

Everyone's habits are different, so AO's custom skills can't be taught, and players need to explore them themselves. Of course, there are also some players who don't rely on custom skills, and can play very well with only the skills that come with the system, but then the game will be less fun.

In addition to this, as a damage output class, damage is the most important thing to do.

In AO, there are three types of damage increase effects: passive, triggered, and active. Passive is a continuous zài that does not require any conditions, trigger is triggered by certain conditions, and active release is a certain buff state, which has been stored since the release of itself.

The same damage increase cannot be stacked. For example, if the passive increases the skill attack by 10%, and the other passives increase by 20%, then the effect will only be 20%, and will not stack to 30%.

In addition, there is a trick on how to design a skill that increases damage, that is, you add restrictions yourself, so that when the system is balanced, the damage value will increase.

For example, if you directly increase the damage of all skills, then after the system is balanced, this increase may only be five percent or even lower, but if you add some restrictions yourself, such as only a certain series of spells increase the damage, then the value of this damage can be increased to ten percent or even higher, and the limit of increasing the damage of a single skill is twenty-five percent, so this gap is very obvious.

Xia Chiyu is biased towards PVP, so he casts spells without reading notes, never guides spells, and is all direct and instantaneous. In between, his passive ability is "Elemental Balance", which halves the mana cost by instantaneous spells. The mage's skill damage value is already high, but the big skill consumes too much mana, and he can't put it a few times, and this passive can allow him to release a few more big skills.

Since this is also a disguised damage increase, the system determines that this is also a passive effect that increases damage.

Of course, there is a 50% damage reduction penalty for instantaneous spells, so Xia Chiyu's trigger skill is "Elemental Fury", and every time you use a different type of instantaneous spell, you can increase the damage of the next damaging instantaneous spell.

Since Xia Chiyu himself added quite harsh conditions, both of which must be different spells and must be instantaneous, so after the system is balanced, this damage value is not only increased to twenty-five percent, but also can be stacked three times, which means that the final damage is twenty-five percent higher than the spell after channeling.

The last one, active skills. This skill Xia Chiyu is the chosen "Elemental Wisdom", when using an instantaneous spell, the instantaneous penalty is reduced by fifty percent, that is, the instantaneous spell only reduces the damage by twenty-five percent. After the buff was stacked in this way, in the end, Xia Chiyu's instantaneous spell mana was reduced by 50%, and the damage was increased by 50%!

Of course, the mage who guides the flow will have higher damage than Xia Chiyu's damage after being strengthened by passive, trigger and active skills, but first, this is a matter of habit, and secondly, Xia Chiyu's spells are instantaneous, and he can release more spells in a certain period of time, and it is not easy to be interrupted, and he will not be attacked during the channeling process, so it is more suitable for PVP.

These are the basic skills that must be in a perfect skill tree, not only to suit your habits, but also to be designed to maximize damage. In addition, there are some high-cost and high-damage ultimates, which require level forty or fifty to unlock. It can be said that his skill tree is almost perfect, and last time he defeated the master Wang Hui with this precision skill tree that completely conformed to his habits.

So, the team trip with this girl began. After fighting a few wild monsters with her a little, Xia Chiyu figured out the strength of this girl. Like most novice players in this game, she only uses the skills that come with the system, because in terms of damage, in fact, the same level of custom skills and bonus skills are similar.

However, as soon as there are many new features in this game, Xia Chiyu is not very clear, and he needs to ask Xiaoyu; Second, after all, this is an online game, so it's interesting for everyone to team up and chat and upgrade; Third, Xiaoyu is already fifteen levels, and it is much faster than him playing at level seven. Therefore, Xia Chiyu still followed her honestly.

Xiaoyu is a swordsman, and the advantage of a swordsman is that the fighting spirit and body consumption of skills are lower than those of other professions, so there is almost no need to recover in the early stage, and he can fight monsters all the time, and the leveling is particularly fast.

"By the way, why did you come to this low-level place?" When farming monsters, Xia Chiyu asked Xiaoyu, "This area is a novice area, and you can graduate at level 10." If you go back to this place at level 15, you shouldn't be inexperienced, right? ”

"Well, I'm here to get some materials. There's a cooking ingredient here, you know, unicorn? The meat can be made into pan-fried beef tenderloin on an iron plate, or it can be made into a black pepper steak, which tastes particularly good. Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"It's a foodie." Xia Chiyu smiled slightly bitterly, there are also restaurants in AO, players can make zuò dishes after learning to cook, the higher the cooking skills, the more advanced the ingredients that can be cooked, and although eating in AO can't fill your stomach, you can taste the taste, and the game helmet directly sends the taste information to the brain.

Tasting food in AO is much more cost-effective than in reality, and at the same time the variety is more abundant, no matter how high-end AO must be in reality, but AO has it, but there are not necessarily in reality, and the price is much cheaper than in reality, many people who can't afford to go to high-end restaurants will also join the AO game in order to taste food.

Therefore, there are many players who open restaurants in AO and can make as much money as restaurants in reality. The same goes for clothing stores and blacksmith shops, which are usually fashionable clothes for women and players who don't like the original look of equipment, which are not only varied but also cheap.

As for the blacksmith shop, it is used to craft equipment, which requires certain materials, and the equipment produced by zuò is determined by the drop of materials. If it is a material dropped by a dungeon boss, it is also a dungeon-level equipment, which provides a source of equipment for players who do not have the strength to play dungeons.

However, AO is a very balanced game, equipment has never been able to bring players any advantage, its original intention is to hope that each player is on the same running line in terms of attributes, and only skill determines strength.

Xia Chiyu and Xiaoyu stayed to continue to brush the sheep's head demon, there is a level advantage, Xiaoyu is still very fast to fight monsters, plus Xia Chiyu can help Xiaoyu recover blood, tell her where the monster's weakness is, you can go directly to refresh the edge of the magic circle and brush. Xia Chiyu was promoted to level ten in an hour, and the experience points of fighting monsters in this area are very small, and he must go to a new advanced area.

"Let's go to the 'Tower Grass Sea' to fight monsters next, okay? The monsters there are from level thirteen to level twenty-two, and both of us have experience and can practice to level twenty before going to a new region. On the way, Xiaoyu said, "And the scenery over there is very good, the vast prairie, and occasionally a few mage towers, very fantastical style." ”

"I don't build yì to go there, most of the monsters over there have hidden skills, it's not easy to find, it's distributed and scattered, and the level is very slow." Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "Tenth and fifteenth...... We can go to the ruins of the ancient country, there are a lot of monsters over there, and they are all undead monsters, and the auxiliary magic I gave you has a damage bonus, and it is very fast to brush. Able to practice all the way to level twenty-five. ”

"Huh? Aren't you a newbie? How do you know this? Xiaoyu asked a little puzzled.

"I've played it before, and it's okay. But after that, I quit for two years, and now I basically forget about it. Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly, "I only know the early level leveling area, and I don't understand the new content at all, so don't expect me to ......."

Xiaoyu smiled: "I know, you have no attack skills for support, so I can't let you go up and fight with others." ”

"I am...... Never mind. Xia Chiyu didn't bother to explain too much, and he didn't want to tell Sù Xiaoyu how to play.

First, everyone's habits are different, and giving one's skills to others will only be unaccustomed; Second, everyone's pursuit of playing games is different, some people play games to get better and better, while some people just want to have fun.

Having fun has nothing to do with being strong, this is something that Xia Chiyu has finally understood after so many years. After all, the game is just a bunch of numbers jù, and the people behind the number jù are real, and it's stupid to hurt real people in order to count jù.

Although Xia Chiyu had a middle school and pretended to be forced in the past in this game, and he still feels embarrassed when he thinks about many things now, he is still grateful for that past, people always mature in their mistakes, and then move on.

"Alright, then let's go to the ruins of the ancient country!" Xiaoyu said with a smile.
