Ok this guy is easy as hell. If you can kill Centurio X-I, then you'll have a cakewalk with this guy.
This NM has horrible horrible accuracy both in Melee and in Ranged. Here's my strat for this guy. I'm a 68 Drg(I've been soloing him since I was a 65 Drg):
I buff up for his 2 hour using {Blink} and {Stoneskin}, since his accuracy is so crappy they don't wear until he uses his 2 hour on me. But I always shot for my Wyvern to have hate (through SJ) when he 2 hours. His 2 hour has never done more than 500 damage to me with {Stoneskin} up, never more than 700 damage to me without {Stoneskin}, and he has never done anymore than 800 damage to my Wyvern with his EES. He will 2 hour anywhere from 70%-40% health, so it is always hard to pinpoint when he uses it.
Warning: When he 2 hours, you are not going to have enough time to avoid it. He will hit you with it before you realize he's used it.
But all that's needed once you get past his 2 hour is to melee him to death. His accuracy gets a little better after he 2 hours and he hits pretty well when he connects. But as long as you have either mage as your main or subbed, you will survive his melee attacks.
I had the exact time written down for when I got the bow finally, but all I can remember off the tope of my head is this: It was a Full Moon 90% and it was Watersday.
But when you get the bow as a drop you should recieve as much lag as I did. When it dropped, it paused the game for a whole 2 seconds. Which is an extreme eternity, compared to usual drops. I usually get a split second pause in the game when I get a drop, but the Loxley Bow dropping was an insane pause.
I'm 1/6 on this not using TH or any THF in party. Furthermore adding to my constantly telling ppl TH is completely useless on NM drops!! Which I have found true, time and time again. I run across ppl telling me that they are 0/7, 0/8 or 0/9 etc. on him or Centurio X-I's cloak drop when they used TH, and I'm sitting over here not using TH or /THF and being 1/6 on the bow, and 6/9 on the cloak from Centurio X-I. TH is useless on NM drops, please get that through your heads TH whores.
But I hope this helps others out, even if only by a little. This guy is nothing special at all, he's easy if anything.
