Jack reviewed the options for the elite class. From the Warrior side, Mage Knight was a no-no. Berserker was also out, as it specialized in axe weapons. He could not change the type of his Storm Breaker anymore, he was stuck with a longsword. Not to ntion also that he was no good at fighting using axe.
So that left only Blade Dancer and Weapon Master. Weapon Master put emphasis on the multiple weapons that could be used, so his Storm Breaker would be undermined. Blade Dancer seed the best choice but it was a dual-wielding class. He was no stranger to dual-wielding in past gas, but if he dual wield swords, he could no longer utilize his Mage class which required him to hold a magic staff.
The magic-user path had even more choices. Although the Elentalist was very tempting, the other paths were also viable. All of them should be able to provide great support for his lee class.
He didn't spend too much ti contemplating the choices. It was still so ti before he had to make the choice, he would gain more experiences and see more of this world first before deciding.
Jack had been tuning out the auction for a while. Several items had co and gone, but his ears caught attention again when he heard the auctioneer ntioning another technique book. He imdiately activated the gadget beside him to check the book's statistics.
It was a technique book for advanced skill exclusive for Warrior class. His interest grew further as he read its description. It was called Shredding Fang. It was a range AOE offensive skill, it hit targets in a fan shape area. Sort of like a combination between Swing and Sword of Light. The bid was similar to Flash Step which started from 3 gold coins with an incrent of 1 gold coin. At that mont, the bid had increased to 8 gold coins.
Jack waited a bit longer for the bid to start slowing down. When the auctioneer started counting with his hamr at 13 gold coins, Jack threw out a bid of 16 gold coins. The auctioneer started counting again, when he almost reached three, another NPC made a counter bid of 17 gold coins. Jack sent another bid at 20 gold coins without waiting for the auctioneer to count. He finally won the technique book.
"I thought for a mont there that your auctioning special combo thod didn't work," he said to Dylan.
"Don't just go and give a weird na to people's thod," Dylan complained. "And they are not exact science. In the end, as you said, it still cos down to who has the bigger stash of coins. If the other side is willing to spend, no thod will be useful. But that counterbid you made shortly after you were countered, that was good. That gave the other side the impression that you still have the coins and not afraid to bid higher."
"Is it so? I simply was just very eager to get that book," Jack replied.
The next bid was a super rare grade flower vase. It allowed alchemists to boost the growth of any dicinal plant if using the vase. Jack soon lost interest again, his mind went back to converse with Peniel.
'Tell
about the elite paths of the other classes.'
"Why? It's not like you can choose from them," Peniel said.
'I still would like to know. I won't be in a fluster if I have to fight against one of them in the future,' Jack replied.
"All right. I will just start from the lee then. The Knight class will branch out to Sentinel, Paladin, Avenger, and Dragoon. All of them can wear heavy armor and utilize a shield, but the focus on shield is more heavily on Sentinel and Paladin classes, which possessed skills that can be used in conjunction with their shield. While Avenger and Dragoon can choose to use a shield as well, but they will be more effective if using two-handed weapons. In short, Sentinel and Paladin are heavy lee classes focusing on pure defense, while Avenger and Dragoon are heavy lee classes that are more inclined to offense."
'What's the specialty between each class?' Jack probed further.
"Between Sentinel and Paladin, Sentinel is the better tank as it can use tower shield, the largest shield type there is. While Paladin is supported by the availability of holy magic and healing spells. Avenger is a fighter that will get stronger the more hits they received. Dragoon is mobile heavy lee whose skills favor spear weapon."
'Ah, that Dragoon is the class that you asked
to suggest to Jeanny!' Jack said as he rembered his past conversation with the Wicked Witches' girl.
"Yes," Peniel replied. "For the Rogue class, it will branches out to Assassin and Battle Monk, which I ntioned before, and the other two more are Bard and Technocraft."
'Those bunches sound colorful,' Jack comnted.
Peniel didn't respond to his comnt, she continued with her explanation, "answering your earlier question about the elite class from rogue that still uses dagger, that will be the Assassin. They can dish out very high damage with their sudden attack and is proficient in poison. Their survivability is a question though, they mainly relied on their speed to survive due to their low HP pool. Battle Monk is also a speed-based lee fighter like assassin, but they can survive better with their defensive skills. They fought using an unard style. Bard is mainly a support class. They can play musical instrunts that provides buffs for themselves and their teammates. They are not completely useless in lee though, as they can also learn so fencing skills. Technocraft is a speed-based class that is not particularly good in lee nor range. Their primary advantage cos from their knowledge on using traps and their ability to build a techno golem."
'A what golem?'
"A techno golem," Peniel repeated.
'What is that?'
"An automaton that can be commanded to fight the enemy in place of Technocraft. A technocraft can simply stay behind and lay his traps while his golem does the battle."
'That's… interesting," Jack comnted.
"Well, you can't be it. You are not a Rogue."
'I just said it's interesting, doesn't an I want to be one. How about the elite classes of Archer? I assu they will be all physical range classes then?'
"Most. Archer class will eventually transform into Elite Marksman, Gunner, Hidde…"
'Gunner? There are guns here? I can use guns?' Jack almost blurted out again as he interrupted Peniel.
"You cannot use guns. Only a Gunner can, and you cannot beco a Gunner because you are not an Archer," Peniel said slowly, as if talking to a child.
'Forgive , please continue.'
He could hear Peniel sighing, before she resud her explanation, "Apart from Elite Marksman and Gunner, Archer can also beco Hidden Weapon Specialist and Beastmaster."
Jack had the urge to ask questions again, but he restrained himself and let Peniel went on with her explanation.
"Elite Marksman is ranged lee class that specialized in using bows or crossbows. Gunner is the sa type except for their weapon of choice is as their na implies, guns. Hidden Weapon Specialist is a range class who is an expert at using multiple types of small throwing weapons. Beastmaster has no boost in their range capability apart from what they had received from their basic and advanced class. Their strength will be on their pets, and their ability to change into beast form. Once they transford, they can basically be considered as a lee class instead."
'The Beastmaster class can have pets? Maybe I should have chosen to be a Ranger instead of a Magician,' Jack mused.
"All of them can have pets," Peniel said after hearing his thought. "the ability to have a pet cos from Archer class. The difference is, only Beastmaster can have dium-sized pets, the others are limited to small-sized pets. Furthermore, Beastmaster also has access to skills that can further strengthen their pets."
'Archer can have a pet?' Jack asked.
"Yes, Archer gained the skill Ta Pet once they reached level 20," Peniel answered.
Jack thought of Fierce Fla who was an Archer. Had she reached level 20 as well? Perhaps the next ti they t, she would have had a pet already.
'You ntioned it can change into beast form? What kind of beast?'
"Depends on your affinity and your fortune, the most basic ones are cat, wolf, lizard, and bear."
'Wolf? Are you saying a Beastmaster class can transform into a werewolf?!'
"I wouldn't call it werewolves. Werewolves are monsters… But then again, they do look like one if they choose the wolf form."
'Cool,' Jack uttered
"Why are you getting all excited about that kind of rabid dog class? You Outworlders sure are weird."
'The last class, Healer,' Jack asked, ignoring her ridicule.
"Aye, the Healer class can beco Priest, Druid, Reaver, and Inquisitor. Priest is the enhanced version of Healer. They can heal allies better and are further equipped with light magic that is especially destructive to undead and evil creatures. Druid is also good at healing allies with a focus on nature magic. Reavers can heal themselves or allies by absorbing the life forces from enemies. Inquisitor is a magic-user class who transitioned into a lee class instead. They gain the ability to wear dium armor and use mace weapons, but they are still provided with healing spells and holy magic in their arsenal."
