Calm the eff down, Moosi

[Nexdoreum]

I was doing Trove runs and decided to do a Moosilauke run to mix it up a bit. He spawned just outside Arkovian Undercity entrance and I started to lay the smack down on my Vit Conjurer.

I was blocking him in one of the small arches by keeping 2 Storm Totems up at all times, then he goes and spawns 2 Ice Crystals on top of me. I back off a bit till they died and as I go back towards Moosi he triple casts his Devastation. At least 15-20 shards drop all at once, with hardly any delay like usual, in a small area and kill me through an Aether Cluster (75% dmg reduction), Possesion (another 13% dmg reduction) 12k hp.

Fuck that guy. /rant

Oh, come on… What would you do if some stranger decided to block you in an archway with their two storm totems?

If you are going to complain about absurd situations that involve the nemeses, bare in mind the fact that Moosi is at least predictible.

Fabius, on the other hand can spawn with a “draining” weapon, a “notched bone” + a shoulderguard that gives him +6% OA at the same time. I fought Fabius like that on HC and killed him but I am not enterily sure if I can do it again or how much luck was involved. The devs should take a look at that item combination and eliminate it from HC. In softcore, I don’t mind it that much. In HC Ultimate, however…there’s always a risk involved in farming Fabius that is not present for the other nemeses.

True, Fabius with an ‘Eldritch’ weapon is bad news and unpredictable but almost 500 hours of Grim Dawn, 5 85’s farming Moosi and I have never seen him double/triple cast Devastation before. Not exactly ‘predictable’.

Wouldn’t have been too bad if not for the fact the shards dropped instantly in a small area so there was literally nothing I could have done. My first bloody death too >.> was hoping for a clean sheet with mah Conjurer. Oh well.

Eldritch’s weapons are pain in the ass, they burn something like 20% energy per hit, forcing you to re-toggle all the buffs, or running around waiting for Elixir of Spirit cooldown. Fabius literally blew me up once with a 18k Notched Bone proc, lol.

Better relog vs energy burn fabius, saves a lot of time

Moos got tired of being killed over and over and he reached his final form where he can spam trozan

[DeMasked]

Moosilauke with his devastation ability does this when he first casts the skill and your character retreats far away.

When you come back to him all waves of the devastation will fall at once.

I believe that is the case though I haven’t seen it too often.

It helps if you fight him in areas with pillars, broken walls, etc - pretty much anywhere that’s not open ground, because thankfully a lot of his projectiles can be blocked by environmental doodads.

More and more I’ve also been seeing Moosi double/triple cast his frozen meteor attack, sometimes when I’m just on the other side of a broken wall. My first instinct is always to run to the nearest pillar.
