Need some DRK Maat fight tips

[Ruffyreborn]

Okay, I did what a WAR buddy of mine told me to do.

Opo necklace, sleep, get 100 TP.
Eat some sole sushi, drink an au lait
Run in, weapon skill, Icarus Wing, WS again (used Guillotine)
Then fight, consuming whatever health potions I needed.


End results: Me losing while Maat still had 1/4 to 1/2 HP left. Maybe about 1/3

Was I just unlucky, because I have a feeling a couple guillotine hits missed....

Gear was the average DD gear with Haubergeon and some +acc accessories.

Throw on a blink band and use it at the start too. And try 300% to start. That helps with Guillotine, doesn't it?

 

[DuckMySick]

you may wanna try defense food such as a taco, i used that on my maat fight, works good.

Did you pop Souleater, Last Resort, and Blood Weapon before firing off your first WS?

 

[Dayner]

i used meat food *bison ftw* sleep to 100%
souleater + Last Resort + blood weapon *so you stll keep full HP after the first hit*
Guillotine
stun
Icarus Wing then Vile Elixir +1 to get hp from Guillotine
Guillotine 1 more and maat should be dead .. i know this is kinda costy way but that how i did it

This is how I did it, and I never got hit.

SE LR BW Guillotine IW Guillotine + 1 hit = Dead for me

Used a Blink Band and did it at 67

QFT!

I used this video to model my winning Maat fight. Wasn't as perfect as Chasym's was, but I got the job done.

lol well im not sayin everyone is gonna hit that 1.4k guillotine the first time or maybe ever, i place that on luck and anger. but its a proven winning method!

 

[Rappa]

Chaysm did about the same thing I did, only in a slightly different order... saw it on drk forum at lollakhazam way back when I think, don't really remember. http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/9489/maatmashedwf2.jpg

[TheOsyris]

used def food, slept till 100tp. used Abs VIT to get fight goin.
when he walked up i used Spinning Slash. Hit weapon change macro, and used Iwing. then ended SC with Cross Reaper. made Distort i believe and it destroyed him. like 30secs lol and never touched. i did have blink band also.

 

[Oropher]

DO NOT use defense food.
that was the worse advice i ever got (allakahzam i think).


Rappa ended up giving me some good advice that got me the win.

attack food (Bison steak)
blink band
opo-opo sleep TP to 300
use all your buffs (last resort, souleater, blood weapon)
guillotine >> icarus wing >> guillotine = defeated maat.

video of my fight: http://www.oropher.com/oropher-vs-maat/

your not a tank, why use defense food?
use attack food and all your buffs and try to deal as much dmg as possible

Creative.

All I have to say about this fight is....dont be cheap. Buy the vile elixir +1, and buy the vile elixir. Also high potions help. I Tried being cheap and ended up having to do the fight quite a few times, which isnt pretty on your money.

 

[Ruffyreborn]

yeah, I took everything that was suggested, except for the vile elixers... I took a lot of Hi-Potion +3's and stuff of the like, but no viles.

I have the fight uploaded on my LS forum, Ill get a link quickly. (its just HTML, not a movie)

Okay just checked, the site I uploaded it to is no longer alive. But anyway, near the end of the fight he stunned me a lot. Not with stun, per se... But more like this:

Maats Bash --> Stun --> Maats Bash

That little trio of moves right there ^^^ put me out of commission quickly.

 

[Skaw]

Using Accuracy food was your folly.

Protip: using Accuracy food all the time is pretty stupid, especially on things that are more or less EM.
