in exp pt? just spam a weak spell to cap it or keep up the elemental DoTs

I'd personally recommend taru for maat though I burn through my mp too quick but then again i'm under cap and not at optimum lv for beating him
 
If /BLM in exp parties, you can toss out elemental dots. If you have free time and MP in exp parties, regardless of sub you can toss out Stone 1 (just as good skillup rate, and tiny casting time and MP cost). Otherwise, go for skillups in a more direct way: Besieged works quite well, and if the timing of that never seems to work out for you, then go mess around with some friends: when you near cap, you'll have to move on to EM mobs of course.

But if you're waaaaay behind you can easily get skillups on DC, EP, or even TW (depending on just how far behind you are). The rule of thumb is that a mob can skill you up to whatever you'd cap at, if you were the same level as the mob is.

Regardless, while it's good to keep it in the back of your mind that you'll want capped elemental skill for Maat at 70, I'd worry more about getting *to* 70 first, and then worry about preparing for Maat.

Choke, Rasp, Shock, Drown, Burn, and Frost are the 6 elemental DoT's, Poison and Poison II are water-based enfeebles.
 
Silence a worm and go to town with nukes... then run away if necessary.

Enjoy your taru :p

If you play your cards right, Maat shouldn't touch you.

As Khid learned - the hard way - Shutting down a RDM's MP cripples them. Of course, if you happen to be a cheating bastard with fists, you just go to town with Asuran anyway.

Mean if maat don't resist sleep! Tho HP is not realy a weary till he starts doing asuran fists on ya.

Taru if you will mainly play mages jobs, mithra if you plan to try out all jobs.
 
Besieged is easily the best way to skill up Elemental/Dark magic, especially since there's a chance you'll get multiple Revitalizers which will let you Chainspell-Nuke several times. Though of course, don't forget to occasionally heal people too so you're more likely to get the full XP of the Besieged. =P
 
any race can the strat i'm looking into for beating maat requires a lot of mp in a nutshell

strat: sleep dispell chainspell go all out

I've always wanted a larger mp pool(native) 689 atm with no sj and mp gear and crimson jelly as food

You're a goddamn moron if you think a certain race can't beat maat.

I can see it being a challenge for Galka if they don't have a ton of good MP gear, but that actually sounds like it'd be sorta fun to try if anything. Hm...

And you're a fucking retard if you dont have the reading comprehension to realize I never said that a taru CANT beat maat.
Want me spell everything out for you?
In a post before mine somone mentioned choosing a taru to make beating maat easier to beat which makes no sense to me because all the other races at least have a chance of surviving an asuran fist to the face. Hence my comment.
Somehow you took the fact that I said having low hp makes maat harder for someone instead of easier as saying it's impossible. I do not know how. Perhaps you are drunk atm or smoking or the images that the government is beaming into your head interfere with the langauge areas of your brain. I dont know. I dont care. Just try reading something before you comment on what another person says.
 
well I was the one actually to say that taru might have an easier time with maat

with his fight you must be at maximun distance from him all the time assuming that you can keep bind, gravity, and sleep(easier of the three and not neccesarily dependent on race) and keep blink and stoneskin up with a sleep and nuke process you'd have a bit more mp to burn.

You'll take a few hits but keeping distance keeps your hp safe, meds of course help plenty i'd imagine a taru go through less strain on his mp but use less since his mp is greater and int score is higher(very important) vs a very resistant nm.

It was really a personal preference not a statement of fact since I'd rather use the gung-ho strat against him

chances are I cant that strat well or keep it up long and expect diaga to wear off in time after I near tap out CS lasts a minute, powerful but something to consider.

once again it's not in my best interest to touch maat atm due to current limitation and lving sj(>>>hates it to hell) i'll exp again when it's capped
 
Khid. Get mulsum. And might want to swallow your pride and change your strat. you're probably better off borrowing HQ staves, Enfeebling torque etc. hitting 70 and sleep nuking.

And for surviving Asuran fist... we can take it - once. It's the second Asuran he pulls out of his ass with 0 tp gain that's the instant kill for us >.>

I always found it odd overcoming my shortcomings as a melee seemed remarkably easier than a Galka overcoming their shortcomings as a mage, but maybe that's just me.
 
get a wal-mart turban and use the water you gain doing the quest as well. It's quick and a fast way to sneak in a bit of mp/hp back. plus it's not like you got any other use for it.
