Pikarya's evasion skill reaches level 181.

Umm, at least it wasn't a total failure? :spin:

[Ghostraven]

hmm maybe because you didn't use blink or stoneskin? Also you never went offensive, only defensive. I don't expect you to kill maat, but to at least show your offensive magics more. Use divine seal at least once, maybe they want to see you use your job to the fullest and make use of your abilities? Throw a holy, dia, and banish in there next time. Also wait until you are 70? Goodluck.

[Miriamel]

Throw a Holy?

Yeah right, waste 100 MP on pathetic damage.

[locus]

My 2 cents:

1)Don't use venom potion - Maat can't sleep you. Even if you wanted to avoid sleep, use poison over venom.

2)Don't use attacking magic like Holy. You're not going to be able to beat him in a million years (his benediction stinks and stoneskin will take care of that).

3)You may not want to use stoneskin as damage absorbed MAY not count to the total.

4)Steamed crab or fish chiefkabob are better. Vile Elixir will save your life. Hi ether is too slow.

5)Try getting to level 70 first.

Don't let other people fool you by saying that Maat is easy for whm. He may be easier than other classes (especially if you have a lot of mp like a taru) but winning in this fight (via the alternative condition) is highly unreliable.

[locus]

Few more tips: Diaga will instantly remove all blink spells. WHM 70 has it a lot easier because you get to use the latent effect DMG-30% earring. This makes sure that you'll only take about 400ish damage from his more powerful WS (as long as HP is yellow and tp is below 100%). Use Starlight over Moonlight as it restores more MP to yourself. (the difference becomes greater at higher WS levels)

+MP gear is a good idea, but it becomes useless after you have drunk vile elixir/used the mp. A good idea would be to swap to physical earrings and phalanx rings in-battle (use an equip macro).

I've heard the number is closer to 4500, not 4000, so you were probably very close to winning. I'm sure you'll pass next time!

(P.S. I've heard the all kinds of magic theory, but in my personal experience, when I won, I didn't bother with enfeebling nor divine (no Flash/Dia). I can't prove this though (to all them skeptics) as I didn't keep a log, but it's just something to consider.)

[navpops]

on about line 15 it says

"Maat starts cacsting Blink."

cacsting?

[Pikarya]

My reasonings for not using stone skin/blink:
I wanted to take as much damage as I could. The goal is to take damage and heal, isn't it? ^^

My reason to use venom poison:
I wanted to take more damage.

"cacsting?":
lol, typo on my part. After I lost, I furiously transcribed my log because I THOUGHT I should have won... but anyway...

---

I beat him like a few hours after that log. After getting another testimony. Here's the deal. I messaged a JP friend, and he told me that the following are the goals.

1. To heal about 4500-5000 hp
2. Use Divine Seal
3. Use Benediction

From the log I gave above, I did not fulfill goal #2. Because I'm a retard. Anyway, I did it again, used Divine seal right off the bat so I wouldn't forget. This is the list of stuff I brought.

Items
14 Hi Potions
2 Hi Eithers
1 Fish Kabob
2 Yagudo Drink
[I didn't use a venom poison this time cause I used all the rest of the money I had... I was left with 145 gil]

Extra Items not used
Echo drops
Mulsum

Equipment
Blessed Hammer
Holy Shield
Phantom Thathlum (friend let me borrow^^)
Holy phial
Enhancing earring
Black earring
Vermillion cloak (another friend let me borrow^^)
Healer's mitts
2 Electrum rings (After the first heal, I switched with a Medicine ring which is KEY!!!!)
Enhancing mantle
Adept's rope
Healer's pantaloons
Healer's duckbills

Race
Mithra

Level
67 (I got pissed when I lost and went xping and got my level)

When I went in, I had about oh... 650 or so mp... something like that... And it was easy as pie once I knew what to do. After doing it 3 times and failing, I got a lot of practice. I ended up healing about 6000 hp and I got the record time (6 min 55 sec). This also makes me believe that there is also a minimum time you must face Maat. Imo if you can time heals well, you can do this even at level 66. I also think you can beat it faster if you are at lower level because you take more damage^^

Anyway, learn from my mistakes! Use divine seal lol

[Xenobyte]

Heres all you need , i beat him first try:

MY EQUIPMENT: Darksteel Maul, Full AF, 2 Electrum Rings -- thats about all thats pertinent to this post.

10 Hi pots
4 Echo Drops
5 Hi Ethers
4 Yagudo Drinks
1 Fish Cheifkebob

1. MACRO EVERYTHING

/item "Hi-potion" <me> etc. etc. etc.
/ma "Cure III" <me>

I made a whole macro set just for MAAT and it was a godsend.

The seconds it saves you add up

2. DO NOTHING UNTIL U ENTER BATTLEFIELD

Once Inside BEFORE YOU AGGRO MAAT:

1. Eat the Fishcheifkebob
2. Protect 4
3. Shell 4
4. Stoneskin
5. Blink
6. HASTE <- IMPORTANT TO ALWAY BE HASTED


3. Then aggro MAAT with dia 2.

4. Drink a yag drink

5. Just do regular melee club attack dont worry about HOLY BANISH etc -- ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SURVIVE and all that BS is a waste of healing MP

6. He SHOULD hit you from 100-150 regular and 250 on a special, you use your cures until you are at about 100-150 mp, keep yagudo drink in you at ALL TIMES - ALWAYS keep your HP as close to full as you can without overhealing and wasting MP

7. Once your MP gets to about 150 you have a decision to make.. HI Ethers take about 20 seconds to activate and hi pots take on about 3 seconds... I used the HI ethers before i used the HI pots since the longer activation time i figured would be easier to last through closer to the begninng of the fight..

8. Once you are out of hi ethers use the hi pots.. they activate fast and will keep your HP up while the YAG DRINK regens your MP.

9. When maat silences you alwasy use echo drops right away.


Other than that theres nothing else u really need to do.. dont worry aobut attackign magic you are not a blm.. he will silence you holy you and banish 3 you ... other than that not much you have to worry about and remeber: KEEP YOURSELF HASTENED AT ALL TIMES i cannot stress that enough.

GOOD LUCK! let me know how it goes

[FantasiaHume]

Congrats on the victory Pika~!

[Pikarya]

I used my hi ethers after buffing up to save time also.

Thanks Fantasia^^
