Chapter 76 Scorched Earth (1/2)
”Would you mind showing us your abilities as an Earth Mage?”Nix noticed that the Aquarion Alchemist was staring longingly at his hot-tub, some things never change.

Nix glanced at the Earth Mage 1st Tier stats.As someone who didn't have a gaming background, most of it went over his head. However, he was surrounded by experts.”Thoughts?”
Chael was staring hard at the Assault Mage path.”Rock Coating will enable me to use my rifle without the penalty of having it as my secondary path.”
Semmi nodded in agreement.”There's a bunch of nice CC abilities, including a silence.However, the big hit is the Rez.Earth Mages have a real rez.”
Jun Li had only needed to glance at it to realize that it was a powerful path.Comparably the 1st tiers of fire and water were much weaker.”It's nice, but not overpowering.I think we should consider the upgrade.They wouldn't call it an upgrade if it makes the class weaker.”
Sharl was staring hard at the Defender path, ”The Defender path will be huge in keeping tanks alive.It would be tragic to lose stackable buffs that effectively quadruple your life expectancy.”
”Let's vote then.”Nix looked around at the group, by their expressions he couldn't tell what they were thinking.
/Inferno: NIx: Change.
/Inferno: Sharl: Keep it.
/Inferno: Jun Li: Change.
/Inferno: Mina: Keep it.
/Inferno: Chael: Change.
