The effects of the Skull Filled with Resentment only lasted for five seconds, and the timer could not stack with multiple hits . However, as soon as it timed out, players could immediately throw another one to inflict a new debuff .
Most of the skulls thrown wouldn't have an effect .
However, the system would notify the player that the skull had not been used and it would return to their inventory .
Lu Li chose five players to focus on throwing and everyone transferred their skulls to them .
The five players chosen all played Tank classes with high HP and Defense . They were also being focus-healed by Holy Paladins so that they wouldn't be instantly killed by the Boss . In the event that they did die, a group of Druids would be there to Resurrect them immediately .
Skulls of Resentment were the key to success and Lu Li would not allow any accidents or mishaps .
"We need everyone to divide into four groups on four sides and surround the Bosses . Focus monsters that can summon totems first and take our their totems as quickly as possible . Nominate eight players out of the Hunter group, pair up and take one of the four sides . Your job is to focus on these totems . If they cause us any trouble then you can decide your own punishment," Lu Li said bluntly .
They were in the Wild where players lost levels and EXP from dying . A group wipe could be detrimental to a guild's growth and chemistry, as well as their loyalty to the guild leader .
Long ago, Orgrim Doomhammer tried to persuade the Forest Trolls to join the Horde in order to help them defeat the High Elves and assist them in rebuilding Amani Empire .
The leader of the Forest Trolls, Zul'jin, initially refused this enticing offering . He completed an extraordinary task by uniting all the Forest Trolls and proved himself worthy to be in command .
The Forest Trolls were still determined to defeat the high elves, but he was skeptical about the Horde's true intentions .
Not long after, he was captured by humans and rescued by the Horde, which led him to join forces with them in the Second War . Zul'jin led his most capable warriors and assisted them in battle .
Although Doomhammer did not keep his promises in the end, the Forest Trolls did not come out this alliance without benefitting at all .
During this time, the Orc Shamans taught some Forest Trolls how to control the power of the elements . This was how the Troll Shaman class was created .
These Vilebranch Trolls of Jintha'Alor were the troops that had followed Zul'jin, joined forces with the Horde and subsequently learnt Shaman magic .
Not only were these Shamans proficient in the summoning techniques that they had been taught, but they had even created their own spells and totems . These totems could cause all sorts of crowd-control effects, such as Hex, Stun, Bind and Fear .
Eliminating these Shamans would be their primary focus in taking over Jintha'Alor .
Once the Shamans were killed off, the rest of the mobs would be nothing but walking EXP for them .
As for the four Boss Troll Elders, if there was only a single team, it would be almost impossible for them to defeat them . This was because their aggro was chained together and they all attacked at the same time .
If one of them was Taunted, the other three would also be aggroed and would charge towards their enemy with the surrounding Elites .
That would be a total of several hundred monsters .
"On my signal, each side must pull the Boss closest towards them . It's important that we all aggro at the same time . Other Main Tanks, keep your eyes out for any monsters that try to attack your backline," Lu Li instructed . Then, after seeing that everyone had gotten into position, he signaled for the battle to commence .
The gongs began banging loudly all throughout the altar .
Vile Priestess Hex raised her staff and began casting her spells over the whole city . The newly-spawned Troll monsters became enranged and stampeded towards them .
They advanced in a fast, but orderly manner, much like the armies of the ancient Troll warriors .
The members of Ruling Swords occupied each sides of altar and prepared to defend against the thousands of Trolls . Each side was formed by a team of 100 players that would take turns coming in and out of battle to heal and repair their equipment .
There were a few things that separated a guild member from a casual player .
Firstly, Elite members received a salary for their work, as well as an incentive for extra rewards and bonuses . Casual members could also participate in these guild quests or activities to earn gold and equipment .
Additionally, they had a hierarchy of commanders that were in charge of groups of 5, groups of 10, groups of 100 and groups of 1,000 . While a commander was responsible for their own group, Lu Li's authority would ultimately overrule them .
Lastly, there was the team atmosphere .
Humans were like sheep – when everyone followed orders, they would instinctively follow along without thinking .
Those who acted based on their own accord were punished .
The Elite team prepared to fight the four Bosses .
Lu Li signaled the Main Tanks and they all Taunted at the same time . However, the Tanks on the East and South side were slow by a beat, which created some chaos and confusion . Fortunately, the two Main tanks Taunted again to re-apply aggro and the situation was resolved .
Since they were attempting to take over a city, there were bound to be problems and obstacles that they would encounter .
The most important thing was whether the Main Tank could juggle aggro with the other tanks in order to reduce the damage taken . No matter how much Defense a Tank had, they could never survive being swarmed by hundreds of monsters at once . This was why Lu Li had decided to implement secondary Tanks that would take over if anything happened to the main ones .
This sort of large-scale messy boss fights tested the capabilities of the main commander . The calls needed to be simple, clear and logical, otherwise, the whole team would be wiped .
If they encountered any mishaps, the commander had to remain calm instead of yelling at his teammates for their mistakes . The more a leader yelled and was frustrated, the more easily the members would become nervous and panic .
"Hunters on the North side, how come you're not hitting the totems? Are you guys dead? You guys will lose a point for this . Can the other Hunters go and help them?" Lu Li asked .
Taking away one point from them was not be much of a punishment, but it definitely made them feel ashamed .
Throughout all of this, the commander also had to take notice of what color the spells that came out of Vile Priestess Hex's staff were .
She started with red, which would enrage the monsters in Jintha'Alor . Then they would turn gold, which gave the monsters increased Critical Strike . This was the best stage for the tanks to activate their defensives . Blue meant Defense, while Black gave the monsters the ability to Curse their targets .
The commanders just needed to remind their teammates, and the other members would all be familiar with what to do .
After ten or so minutes, the four Lv50 Bosses were killed by Ruling Sword . In reality, each of them had more than 100,000 HP . If it weren't for the sheer number of members that were participating, this fight would have dragged on for much longer .
