You don't even need to attack maat as Whm.
Just stay alive, and heal yourself enough. There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

It's decently easy for most whitemages except perhaps tarus.
Like all Maat fights you will need to be equip somewhat a certain way, and use medicne. Nothing really special as long as we prepare for it. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-24-2006, 09:23 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Pyro-Medic Super Moderator Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,316 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 191 Thanked 107x in 66 Posts Gil: 14,978 Bank: 58,875 Total Gil: 73,853 Donate | Re: Maat - how do you guys do it?

Mr. Maat can bite my shiny-hiney. 
Beat it within 2 seconds of limit. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-24-2006, 04:47 PM | #8 (permalink) | | Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: University of Arkansas Posts: 934 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Gil: 21,616 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 21,616 Donate | Re: Maat - how do you guys do it? After redoing the maat fight a couple times post 70 I'm beginning to suspect it is more a matter of surviving a certain amount of time in combat against him than a cure amount. This last time I won and hadn't cast a cure in 20 seconds. I had actually casted very little the whole fight because I was using regens and stoneskins.
Anyway, easy way to beat him is just stay alive.

It's definitely one of the more easy Maat fights, from what I've gathered. I did it at Lv66 with no real difficulty, I'm sure many many others have too. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-24-2006, 06:06 PM | #10 (permalink) | | Senior Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Aug 2003 Posts: 1,286 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 2x in 2 Posts Gil: 12,147 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 12,147 Donate | Re: Maat - how do you guys do it? Most whm's float around 8mins, but some have said as low as 5mins. So no clue.
I think Maat gave up on frustration for me.
Terra staff+ bat earrings/eva stuff + blind potion, on and standard jse ring. I had capped eva so Maat pick the wrong mode to Asuran fist me.
It's probably even easier now with the blessed set, with all that haste @.@ | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-24-2006, 07:09 PM | #11 (permalink) | | From Beneath You, It Devours Super Moderator Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Texas Posts: 3,479 Style: Dark - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 46 Thanked 162x in 113 Posts Gil: 22,596 Bank: 85,354 Total Gil: 107,950 Donate | Re: Maat - how do you guys do it? | Originally Posted by Rones | After redoing the maat fight a couple times post 70 I'm beginning to suspect it is more a matter of surviving a certain amount of time in combat against him than a cure amount.

I don't know, just a thought.
Is it even possible for a whm to beat Maat by kicking the crap outta him?  I RNG 75 I WAR 37 I NIN 38 I SAM 50 I Woodworking 92+2

Buffed up before engaging, of course. Diaga to wipe his Blink, Holy to wipe his Stoneskin, then hit him with Paralyze and Slow.
Beat on him a bit for TP. Got him down to about 2/3 life while doing so.
Stuck him with a Dia II, then Black Halo->Icarus Wing->Hexa Strike. The Light skillchain did enough damage that he gave up -- he didn't even have a chance to use Benediction.
Then again, I was level 75 when I fought him, so I kinda cheated a bit.  All Nations: Rank 10

i used empress hairpin, nobles tunic, and light gauntlets, and af pants/feet. wore 2 phanalx rings, medicine earring, drone earring, fortune egg, survival belt, cheviot cape, and had earth staff. (some of the gear i borrowed for a friend)
entered bcnm, buffed to full, ate food, used rink, used regen 3, and pulled with slow.
1. don't cure status ailments other than paralyze and silence
2. use cure 2, cure 3, and if in emergencies cure 5
3. if you're low on mp and out of vile elixirs use hi-potions
4. when stoneskin goes down, use flash
5. haste cuts down recast timers of both stoneskin and flash.
6. starting at the 8 minute mark after entering bcnm, maat will begin spamming weaponskills.
7. maat is totally random. damage taken can range from as low as 2k to as high as 7k. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 03-18-2006, 01:31 PM | #15 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Posts: 1,873 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 5 Thanked 28x in 22 Posts Gil: 20,399 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 20,399 Donate | Re: Maat - how do you guys do it? how can you guys stand those kinds of fights for 10 mins? my first fight was with nin. 1:58 an maat gave up. i cant see doing it for another 8 mins.
