  • Maat: Round 3

    Hi all

    I managed to take down Maat last night on my third Bstly attempt. First loss was a learning experience, second loss was a learning experience . . . in how to not be stoopid(sleep potions do you a lot of good when you're wearin a Royal Guard's Collar ).

    Third attempt:
    Waited for Maat to use Familiar(and he used it pretty much as soon as his beetle was out there), and I Rampaged it to death without takin more than a couple of licks. Ran out of hate range while Panzer kept him busy, popped an au lait, an X-Pot and an Icarus Wing, ran back close enough to Reward Panzer.

    Maat calls his second pet(a tiger) and I Rampage it to death too. My first Panzer bites the dust and I throw a fresh one at the old man. His second tiger chews into me pretty good while I'm killin it(note to fellow Bsts: the paralyze from Roar can suck in this fight just as bad as it does anywhere else).

    As I'm standing there debating whether or not to throw away X-Pots since Paralyze will probably eat them, Maat summons the dreaded Black Mandy, and Panzer starts to sink like a stone. Reward recast at 0:16 . . .

    At this point, I take a calculated risk. I have >100 tp from killin that last tiger, so I nail him with Mistral Axe from across the arena, hopin that if it doesn't finish him, my pet will before he can reach me. He turns! Panzer clobbers him from behind with a crit, and . . . the old man throws in the towel.

    Being a Bst, and knowing our propensity for random, totally unexpected death, I logged shortly thereafter before anything bad could happen

            It certainly was exciting. I hadn't really looked at any strategies from past successes, and given the relative ease with which Bsts can solo their testimonies, I really wanted to see if I could come up with one of my own.

                  Congrats!!!! I just beat Maat last night too after a cruddy loss to him the night before. Word to the wise - go in when you can concentrate on the fight. My first attempt I got interrupted by my fiancee and I literally turned around to talk to her during the fight >.< Needless to say it lasted all of a few seconds before I bit the dust.

                  The second time I was never even hit, except by an AoE from Maat that he used on my pet while I was within range.

                  My strategy:
                  Used Panzer and slept to 125% tp, buffed and 2hred, then went into ring, used an au lait and Sic'ed my pet on Maat. I attacked his pet while out of range (so I could prep my Rampage) while it started to hit my jug, then ran up quick as I could and Rampaged the pet and took him out without being hit. Then I ran out of the ring and used an Icarus wing and Reward, then went up to Maat and took a swing or two before he called his second pet. I switched target and again Rampaged as quick as I could while his pet was hitting my jug and took his second pet out without it getting a hit off on me. At that point I concentrated on Maat and he called a third pet which attacked my jug since it had hate. At that point I just kept attacking Maat till he gave up! /cheer!

                  Much better than my first attempt, and I'm so psyched! And another congrats to you on your success as well, those close finishes are the most exciting ones!!

                    wow that sounds awesome. Bet your heart was pounding.

                    I ran into a situation like that as well. I had him summon 4 pets on me...yes 4. I used CC since it was my trail run and i wanted to see what it was like. Killed three of his pets but i then found myself halfway across the areana with half health, a new CC and him chasing me with a pet. I poped my icarus wing and made one last rampage attempt and wam bam!! done! nothing like sweet sweet victory. It feels nice.

                      My buddy said that Maat is killable at 66 as BST, true?

                          Shep, I never attempted it at lvl 66 but I'm sure that it can be done. The main factor I would think is that you would most likely need quite a bit of luck during the fight (Maat using weaker jug pets, etc.). Your jug pet will naturally be a lower lvl than if you go in closer to 69-70, but from most of the threads ppl say that Maat fights you as your lvl so he might be 66 as well.

                          Unfortunately most of the threads I've come across where ppl have attempted it at lower lvls say they got stomped pretty badly :-( Of course all that means is that you could be one of the few to do it! Like they say "Everything is impossible until someone does it"!

                          Good luck and let us know if you beat him at 66!!
