Douluo: I use shadow to open Shura

Chapter 108 Mages and Other Professions
"Xiao Wu, let me first tell you what I think are the classifications of Soul Master career planning."

Mo Yu stretched out his palm, extending one finger for each profession he mentioned.

"The first is the mage, then the marksman, the tank, the support, and the assassin, and of course, the support."

There are six professions in total. Apart from support, assassin, and logistics, Xiao Wu doesn't know much about the others.

Xiao Wu asked blankly, "Brother, what are all these?"

Seeing that Xiao Wu didn't understand at all, Mo Yu began to patiently explain: "Let me first tell you about our professions, we are mages."

"We're called mages, but we're actually control mages. If we're going by the class classification mentioned above, then we're main mages and secondary support. Control is, in my eyes, a support role."

Hearing Mo Yu say this, Xiao Wu understood somewhat.

She was very clear about what type of spirit ring she and Mo Yu would choose in the future. They were both mental control type, and her attacks would be stronger than Mo Yu's, since she was going to cultivate lightning attributes as well.

Xiao Wu understood somewhat. She didn't interrupt Mo Yu to ask any questions, but simply listened to Mo Yu's explanation.

"A mage is a soul master who relies on skills to deal damage. They do not use physical skills or close combat. They mainly use ranged attacks. Control is for support, because most control skills do not actually deal damage. They are used to assist other teammates in attacking."

"Even our control-type soul skills are the same. My Netherworld Shadow's mental suppression does not cause any damage, and your mental boost does not cause such obvious physical damage."

After Mo Yu explained the reason, Xiao Wu finally understood.

No wonder Mo Yu said he wouldn't choose to fight others in close combat. If he could defeat the enemy from a distance, why would he want to fight them in close combat?
No wonder control is called support, because neither of them has the ability to instantly kill enemies.

Even if it's her own mental pressure that can turn a soul beast into an idiot, it's only possible because of various reasons.

For example, the soul beast's soul power is insufficient, or the difference in strength between the soul beast and her is too great...

Even if someone becomes an idiot, it might just be that someone else becomes an idiot for a short period of time...

If she could turn enemies into idiots, then she wouldn't be considered a control-type Soul Master.

Oh, now it should be called a mage, or half a support.

Xiao Wu felt that Mo Yu's classification was more refined, and she gradually began to understand.

Therefore, in reality, besides support-type and food-type Soul Masters, mages like them are also targets for agility-type Soul Masters.

However, these mages have some ability to retaliate, so the agility-type soul masters should prioritize targeting support-type and food-type soul masters.

"Brother, how are the other professions categorized?"

Xiao Wu felt this was very important; if she knew the profession of the person she was seeking revenge on, she could choose to attack them specifically.

"Other professions, such as archers, are Soul Masters who can deal a lot of damage with a large number of ordinary ranged attacks under normal circumstances. A typical example is a Soul Master whose weapon spirit is a bow and arrow."

"Their soul skills may not be very destructive, but as long as no one disturbs them, they can output continuously with very little soul power consumption."

"For example, their soul skills are likely the same as ours, choosing to strengthen themselves and then attacking with some soul power blasts. This type can also be considered an archer."

Mo Yu had explained it very clearly, but Xiao Wu was still a little confused. What was the use of such a profession?
There was neither burst damage nor control; it was all about continuous output.

She and Mo Yu could actually do that too, since their soul power reserves far exceeded those of other soul masters.

Just like Mo Yu, his Netherworld clones, with their numerous Netherworld Crows, can also choose to bombard relentlessly and continuously output damage.

Seemingly sensing Xiao Wu's thoughts, Mo Yu nodded in agreement.

“Yes, we can actually be considered archers like that. I can use the Netherworld Clone, and you can use lightning-attribute soul power bullets to attack.”

"No, bro, what I really want to know is, what's the use of this profession?"

This has always been Xiao Wu's question.

"Xiao Wu, you're wrong. Archers are actually very important. It's just that there are basically no qualified archers on the continent, which is why you think they're useless."

Mo Yu shook her head. Xiao Wu had reached a dead end; she couldn't imagine what the real archer's strength was like.

"Then let me ask you, if my Nether Raven clones are used in a team match, how do the enemies deal with them?"

"How can the opponent deal with my low-cost, high-output, area-of-effect attack?"

"We choose to continuously enhance the soul skills of soul masters so that even a casual move can have powerful destructive force."

"Such attacks are very effective against support-type Soul Masters, food-type Soul Masters, and even mages."

"A powerful move may have high destructive power, but if we dodge it, wouldn't the opponent waste their soul power and become weaker? But with our kind of attack, even if the opponent dodges it, we won't suffer much loss."

"Overall, our tolerance for error is very high."

Upon hearing Mo Yu's words, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly. So that's how it is!
"Brother, you're so smart! What about the others?"

"Yes, tanks are defensive Soul Masters, but they can be divided into two types. One type is the support type, which is strong defense and control, preventing enemies from sneaking up on the back row support and food-type Soul Masters in the team. They can also forcefully initiate a team fight, attract enemy attacks, and allow teammates to bombard the enemy without pressure."

"Another type is a defensive Soul Master who is also a battle Soul Master. They have strong defensive capabilities as well as strong offensive capabilities, which forces the enemy to focus their attention on such Soul Masters. Otherwise, if the defensive Soul Master also has strong offensive power, their back row will be in danger."

"The support role is either a control-type Soul Master or a support-type Soul Master who specializes in buffing teammates, such as amplification, healing, and removing control effects. These are the responsibilities of a support role, and you should be able to understand that."

"Then there are assassins. Assassins are actually a combination of battle spirit masters and agility-type spirit masters. In my eyes, pure agility-type spirit masters are too fragile and easily countered. Of course, pure agility-type spirit masters can also choose other means to enhance their speed and increase their stealth ability, thereby enhancing their ability to cut through the back row."

"Assassins are Soul Masters who specialize in attacking the enemy's weak points, including support-type Soul Masters, food-type Soul Masters, agility-type Soul Masters, and mages."

"And logistics is the food-type Soul Master, there's not much to say about that."

After listening to Mo Yu finish explaining all the professions, Xiao Wu seemed thoughtful. The specific professions seemed very clear, but it didn't seem like there was any real need for them.

Xiao Wu began to realize that if she and Mo Yu obtained the soul rings as planned, they would one day become all-around warriors, possessing everything except for support and logistical abilities.

This is inevitable after the numerical value is too high, so should her enemy also be an all-around warrior? Her enemy actually has no obvious weaknesses.
