Ok, this guy has pwn'd me twice. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with him that could offer me a few tips. I'm at level 69 right now. I've read a bunch of strategies, and watched a few videos, and here is what I've come up with...

Go in (naked)
Equip Opo-opo: Sleep to 100 TP
Use Blink Band
Equip all other gear
Eat Carbona & Panama Au Lait
Engage Maat, turned around
Boost x 9
Focus, Dodge, Hundred Fists
Chi-blast
Weapon Skill
Icarus Wing
Weapon Skill
Wait for 100% TP
Die (This is where I'd like to use a third WS...but have yet to make it this far...)

This asshole serisouly smacks me down. Here is what I was wondering...

A) Should I use counterstance?
B) What WS should I use?
C) Different food?
D) Should I wait till level 70?
E) Anything I'm missing?

I watched a vid where some guy went in, in full AF, didn't sleep or blink, and still won...so wtfunk am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
 
I have no firsthand experience with the mnk Maat fight, but if it's possible for you to borrow a stoneskin torque from a friend for one charge that may give you enough time to get the last WS off. Just an idea. :)
 
unfortunately i cant find valoran's post that showed how he did it=/ I'll look into it when I can find it

Same advice given to one of my friend for who it worked first try and for me it worked like this

Do same as you did

Engage hundred fist chi blast.

your first hit should be your first WS
Then hundred fist should give you 100 tp fast but the key is to do your Second WS when he gets to 55% and not before because he will start his hundred fist at this point.
Then imediatly take icarus and hop 3rd ws and this should be enough.
Shiva claws on iceday can help eventually.

good luck

When I did this fight i went at it with this set up.

Go in (naked)
Equip Opo-opo: Sleep to 100 TP
Use Blink Band
Equip all other gear
Eat Carbona & Panama Au Lait
Engage Maat, turned around
Boost x 11
Focus, Dodge, Hundred Fists (use one macro that activates all these in one}
Boost 12th time
Chi-blast
Weapon Skill
Icarus Wing
Weapon Skill
Wait for 100% TP

I also wore some evasion gear like Dodge earring and SH. If you want to do some xtra damage from chi blast you could equip some mnd gear than make a macro to equip your fight gear right after you chiblast him. Also tan an Elixer with you just incase you run low on HP.

BTW I don't recomend counter stance
 
Dear Timmy,

I have always helped monks with maat all the time. And they always win.
You basically sum everything up about getting in and items and stuff.

A) Should I use counterstance?
B) What WS should I use?
C) Different food?
D) Should I wait till level 70?
E) Anything I'm missing?

A) No counterstance is needed
B) Raging Fists is A+
C)Carbona is fine
D) I suggest 70 but you can try.
E) Have Vile Elixir +1 will help

Now how to beat him?
1) Before you get in equip a staff or a club since your hand to hand is cap ( this will make him hit like a girl.)
2)Use your Blink band
3) Sleep until you get 100%Tp
4) Eat ur food (duh)
5) Start Boosting to 9 times. Use Focus and dodge
6) Chi-Blast Maat, when this is done please start Hundredfisting him. Listen up, DO NOT DO NOT Weapon skill him yet. Once he Pops his Hundredfist THAT when you Raging Fists his ass. At the same time use ur Vile Elixir +1 and also ur Tp wing and Raging Fists his ass again. When this is done you have beaten up Maat.

It always works like charm and ppl come back laughing how easy it was. Gear doesn't really matter. I hope this helped~ Good luck~

i lost to that bastard 10 times before i beat him. i kept messin up cuz i was nervous. rambaldi (my mnk mentor) told me a good strat for it which is the same as darkfalcon posted. one of the things i found the most helpful was to not ws until he 2hrs. if you ws before that he will pop 2 hr faster. he didnt pop 2hr till bout half way into fight when i didnt ws at start. i never heard of the staff/club trick though. thats a damn good idea. gl with the old fart.
 
Hey Tim, I don't have any words of wisdom for you, but Good Luck on your last fight^^

Took me 7 times to do it as tarutaru monk and i gonna second that half of them I lost because of too nervous.
And the other half was no luck. Maat Monk is also a part of luck.
I would not counterstance myself, he already hit hard, unless you have cross counters and some counter gear.
 
i tried crosscounters and they didnt do shit. i got lucky also i think cuz he didnt ws once when i finally beat him. also vile or vile +1 are a must. i had both and only used the nq one. i also set up macros to use them.
 
Thanks for the helpful info guys. I'm gonna try and get another test and give this another shot this weekend hopefully, so i'll keep ya posted.

I'd say nervousness accounted for a degree of my failure. 3 years on and off this game, and this is my first Maat lol.
 
Damn, sounds to me like your just gettin shafted. When I went in I itemed all up before the fight, food, tp, etc. but once it started I didn't use any other third party items to assist and I went 1/1.

A) Should I use counterstance? I did, with melee gaiters(and possibly some other counterstance gear, I think I wore avenger earrings, not sure, was a long time ago), but, I probably wouldn't recomend it...that's more of a luck thing, if you wanna give it a shot go ahead but it could bite you in the ass.
B) What WS should I use? Raging Fists
C) Different food? No
D) Should I wait till level 70? Yes, definately if your having a hard time, any extra edge you can get will help.
E) Anything I'm missing? If your still having trouble then vile elixer +1 helps but it's not a must-have.

You should make sure your first hit is your chi blast and then your ws since you should have the tp. It looks to me like your doing everything right though, maybe your gear is the problem? I would also lose the "Icarus Wing Weapon Skill" part of your strategy and just let your 2hr take over, it'll give you the tp in no time while doing an assload of damage. Watch his health and make sure to have your finger on the button(no macros) ready to pop that last ws when he's low enough for your kill-shot.
GL on this saggy-balled bitch. Monk rules.
 
if he uses a ws right after he chi blasts all that does is piss maat off and he pops hundred fists. if you wait till he pops it to use a ws he has less health left, thne when you ws tghen pop wing and ws again he gives up. how could you have used melee gaiters?
 
I only counterstance when he busted out hundredfists on me n tht mess him up there. i didn't even landed 3 ws on em. i was a lv 68 mnk i think when i beat em. Melee gaiters are 70+. how could u have used em on maat >.>?

If the man says he fought in melee gaiters, he fought in melee gaiters. Jesus.

This is the winning method, although I did not go in naked(Retarded baseless rumour, wasn't even around when I did it,) and Blink Bands, Pasta and Fruit-Milks didn't exist.
 
This is what i did.. beat maat in less than 30 sec lol I cannon it rushed it
Go in , Going in Naked does nothing but loses your hp
Blink band no exist back then
Eat whatever you want, at the time I used kabob cuz sushi and shit didnt exist
Engage Maat
I did bother with boost
Focus, Dodge, Hundred Fists
Weapon Skill when fists gives u tp
back then .. got 80 tp from asuran fists lol so maybe you should pop a tp wing
Weapon Skill
Wait for 100% TP
maat dead now no time for icarus wing =\
if he not dead pop vile elixir and hope win
best advice is not to be nervous and start hitting wrong macros/items


This asshole serisouly smacks me down. Here is what I was wondering...

A) Should I use counterstance? I did, up to you if your garka go ahead i am taru lol
B) What WS should I use? Raging Fist

D) Should I wait till level 70? So is good but he can asuran u then
E) Anything I'm missing? Seems to me you got it down just seem nervous in fight, relax ;)

I watched a vid where some guy went in, in full AF(lol me), didn't sleep or blink, and still won...so wtfunk am I doing wrong? Absolutely nothing
