Yes it is another Maat rant thread. I've lost to him 3 times in a row now and honestly I'm completely out of ideas (and gil) so I've been trying to find all the help I can.
I've mainly been using the kiting method because I still need to cap Divine magic and all I have for Reposing are a Light Staff and AF legs. First fight was something like this:
Gear: Earth Staff w/ Spear Strap (can't find any other useful ones that are in stock on the AH), Bibiki Seashell, Healer's Cap, Ajari Necklace (For +MND and a bit of +AGI), Bat Earring x2, Noble's Tunic, Healer's Mitts, Phalanx Ring x2, White Cape (Blue Cape reduces my HP so that was the only spare cape I had in my MH), Qiqrin Sash, Healer's Pantaloons, Healer's Duckbills
Meds Used: Managed to use 2 blinding potions and a Hi Potion before dying
Food: Tav Taco which boosted my Def up to the high 400's (was all pretty useless since he was hitting me for 90 a time at Hundred Fists speed)
Basically I tried to kite him around the arena like the guide on wiki suggests and if failed spectacularly. He opened with Banishga III which destroyed Blink and Stoneskin and I was swiftly pummeled into the ground. I was interupted every single time I tried to cast and was usually forced to keep moving regardless to avoid weapon skills if I even tried to use a Cure higher than Cure II. He silenced me at the one time I got the chance to stand still long enough to use a Cure spell and me pummeled me into the ground with Asuran Fists when I tried to use an Echo Drop.
Second attempt with with pretty much the exact same gear setup but a guide on Alla suggested kiting him up and down the arena and flashing him as you pass. It also suggested opening up with Slow instead of paralyze. So I entered the next battle, buffed up, Dia'd his shadows away, slow stuck but wore within seconds, as did Flash. I lasted a bit longer kiting him up and down. I still got interupted every time I attempted to cast anything other than Dia or Flash and died to a Holy/Banishga III spam when passing him.
Third attempt was in +Eva gear, my eva skill is only a few levels from being capped and I heard it helps a lot. I loaned various peices of Crow Gear from ingame friends and I managed to scrape together the whole set minus the hat. Went into the BC, buffed up, and used a Jack o Lantern as suggested by someone ingame for more +Eva. None of this worked and he was hitting for about 120 a hit this time because I had no defense at all. The only attacks he "missed" were the ones trying to get through stoneskin. Fight probably lasted less than 30 seconds.
So after 3 failed attempts I'm down to my last 3k gil and really out of ideas. Can anyone give me some advice on this fight? It wouldn't be so bad if I could cast but he always seems to manage to interupt every spel I attempt to cast even with Aquaviel up and my AF boots on (Enhancing Magic is something like 210-215). Is there anything I can so to stop this or am I going to have to blow a ton of cash on Elixirs for healing? He hits for nearly as much as the Hi-Potions heal me for.
Anyone have any advice for me because right now I have no idea what to do
