Reset: DPS to Support?!

Chapter 38: Resupply

"The latest equipment are now in stock! Buy them while it lasts!"

"Get these brand new sword and shield made by our best blacksmith!"

"Fresh bread! Get your fresh bread here!"

Loud shouts resounded through the marketplace as Shinto walked through the streets. His eyes scrutinizing the stalls within the surrounding area as he looked for the supplies he needed to buy.

'Hmm... I should buy some potions for Frey and myself in the case my abilities are on cooldown,' Shinto thought to himself.

There are many types of potions in Spiritual Warriors from resources, buffs, elixirs and the like. The most common of the types are the resources potions: Health and Mana.

These potions are frequently used by the player base and are crucial in almost every battle. They are a lifesaver in clutch-situations, especially for the damage dealers.

'Since Frey's class relies heavily on MP usage in the early game, I'll have to get her a few mana potions. As for elixir potions...'

Besides resources potions, there are also elixir type potions where they provide a cleanse against status ailments and status debuffs inflicted on the user. They are extremely useful for raid bosses, especially against those that have their mechanics based on inflicting plenty of debuffs and status ailments.

'Since we're going to go on a lot of dungeon runs, it might be a good idea to buy elixir potions too, since I don't have the ability to cleanse ailments...' He nodded his head.

While walking through the streets, Shinto suddenly stopped at his tracks as suddenly recalled an event from before, 'Speaking of ailments... What happened back then?' He remembered that he had resisted the Centripedes's poison during the fight.

'Does this class have an innate resistance to poison or something?' He hadn't seen any kind of description on the matter. Could it possibly be a hidden feature of the class? 'I should check out my attributes again.'

Wanting to confirm his doubts, he opened up his status window as he turned to take a look at it.

Reading through the description of the attributes section in his status window, he quickly took notice of the last point, 'As a diviner between light and shadow, abnormal status conditions do not work well on you.'

'Ah? So this is why the poison didn't work on me...' He thought to himself. 'Since it says that abnormal conditions don't work well on me, does this mean I'm able to resist all types of status conditions?'

There are many kinds of status conditions in-game. From general ones such as poison, blindness, silence and the like to unique ones such as statuses inflicted by raid bosses or class-exclusive ones.

Unlike the former, where it is easy to cleanse with the help of many existing skills from classes or using elixir potions, the latter is harder to cleanse, or at times impossible.

'If I could possibly resist all types of status conditions... then raiding bosses would be a lot easier wouldn't it?' If Shinto could resist statuses conditions from raid bosses, he would have an easier time during battle since there wouldn't be any kind of interference that would prevent him from supporting his allies when in trouble.

'Though... Even though I can resist the conditions, I can't say the same thing for my allies...' Thinking about it, even if Shinto were to resist the conditions, he couldn't do anything for his allies if they're inflicted by the same condition. Since he doesn't have the ability to cure status ailments.

'Even if I could resist the condition... Will I be able to keep my allies alive?' He could possibly try to keep the boss at bay while waiting for his allies to recover from the conditions, but he couldn't count on it. Just a few hours back, he barely managed to save Frey from the bosses attack.

'Damn... I need quite a lot of abilities to provide sustenance and cooldown reduction items in order to fulfil the role of a support,' he clicked his tongue.

'Guess a lot of preparation is needed for supports to be able to aid their allies during battle...' he sighed inwardly. 'Well, since cooldown reduction items only appear in the later stages of the game, I'll have to make do with the long cooldowns on my abilities for the time being.'

'Anyways, that's for the future for me to worry about. I'll just buy the supplies first,' Shaking off his worries, he quickly began making his way through the streets again as he headed to the general stalls where they sell resources potions.

...

After searching through the stalls and buying the needed items from them, Shinto let out a sigh, "Alright. Done with the potions and supplies... Now the next thing on the list is equipment," His eyes turned towards the equipment stalls in the nearby area, "So for equipment... I should probably get some armour."

Since Shinto had a cloak that raised his intelligence and agility, it would be better for him to buy a defensive item rather than more damage or agile-based equipment.

'Alright, light armour for myself and some better boots would suffice as well, as for Frey... She needs damage, so I'll get her some new gloves. Maybe some armour for her too.' He nodded his head as he began to look for a stall that sold some armour.

As he searched around, his eyes stopped at a familiar stall by the distance near the end of the marketplace.

'Hey... Isn't that?' Upon closer inspection, he saw the stall from yesterday that had tried to scam him of his money.
