This is a guide for successfully obtaining testimonies and successfully stealing from Maat.
To obtain Testimony:
In my opinion, the easiest mobs to steal testimonies from are Tonberry Shadowers, which are located in Yhoator Jungle. To find them, enter Temple of Ugglapih through the normal entrance, cast invis (Tonko: Ni) and stick to the right wall until you zone back out - probably a 1 minute run. You will zone back out into Yhoator Jungle. In this area you will find Tonberry Shadowers. A lvl 70 Galka Thf/Nin can (carefully) solo them. For safety, I would kill one to start, and wait for it to respawn, so you know it has a testimony. MAKE SURE YOU DON"T HAVE A THIEF'S TESTIMONY ALREADY IN YOUR INVENTORY OR MOG SAFE! They are Rare, so you can only have one, and after an unsuccessful Maat fight you will still have one laying around, worthless as it is. Drop it. Max your steal gear - AF feet/legs/hat, Thief Kote (if 70, AF hands otherwise), Rabbit Charm, Rogue's ring. Make sure that when you steal your HP is yellow or lower, and that your TP is less than 100%, so the latent trigger on the Rogue's Ring will work. Steal/hide from the one you spawned. Repeat till you get a testimony - 25% success or so from my experience.
Now that you have a testimony, it's time for Maat. Once again, max steal+ gear. Bring a reraiser potion or scroll of instant reraise with you to the fight. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE AN INSTANT WARP SCROLL ON YOU OR IN YOUR MOG HOUSE!! This item is Rare, and it is what you are trying to steal from Maat. If you have one, you will fail every time. Enter burning circle, equip all steal+ gear, use reraiser engage Maat. When you get to yellow or lower and have less than 100% TP, attempt to steal. If you fail, let yourself die quickly. Maat will return to the center. Raise yourself. Rest up while you wait for steal timer, but not above yellow health. Approach Maat and steal immediately once timer is up. It is common for Maat to immediately WS you when you engage him the second time, so make steal your first move. If you fail again, homepoint (no xp loss), drop your worthless testimony, and get another testimony. When I stole successfully from him, he landed about two more hits before he gave up - almost killed me. Try to have enough HP while still in yellow to stay alive - dunno what would've happened if those hits had killed me. Oh, and good luck!
I know that he can be meleed as well, but since I was not successful doing so, I found the above method to be the most effective to quickly get testimonies and maximize chance of stealing from Maat - the most time efficient "rinse and repeat" way to do it.
