Moxnix Nightgoggle
A few days ago I hit 56 on warrior and have been working on artifact armour quests during free hours between events and when I have spare time. I've been doing dark knight quests at the same time since they both take place in Bastok and it saves a few minutes to get the quests at the same time.
Last night I was working on the warrior body quest. I decide to do it only with Coitha and Mazzic because I remember that the quest was pretty easy despite fighting three goblins at once. I would be fighting a thief, white mage, and ranger. They all use their two hour abilities and like to spam goblin tackle and throw bombs, but they are pretty easy. The white mage and thief went down with no problems. All the mobs were hitting Mazzic, so I just engage with Coitha and let him swing and occasionally heal.
By the time only the ranger was left Coitha was low on mana and I was counter tanking. Tanking a ranger that uses eagle eye shot with counterstance on turns out to be not such a good idea. After a hexastrike > asuran fists > gravitation for 2500 damage the ranger returned the pain before I thought to put shadows up. 2075 damage later I was lying on the floor. I kited on Coitha for a bit, tossed out a raise, more kiting while weakness wore and proceeded to finish Moxnix.
I haven't seen this damage from an eagle eye shot since before rangers were changed. Even then the high damage numbers would only come from the Xarcabard demons or Beaucedine Hydras. Lesson learned on tanking with counterstance.
Next on the artifact armour list is dark knight helmet and white mage body.
