Actually, I've seen a movei of a Rdm that beat him somewhat easily. It involved alot of Sleep II, Stone II, and Dispel. His Sleep II would go off usually before Maat could finish Ye Olde Fireball XII or whatever. He used 2 yag drinks and one ether in the fight. Small price to pay for breaking G5 I'd think.

One RDM friend went up against Maat 16 times in total. On the 16th he broke the record.
The RDM's stratigy is simple. Keep him asleep. Luck is a BIG factor. If he resists at the wrong time, you loose.
I am only 59, I level slowly, and I am studying this fight hard.
Two tricks for fighting Maat.
Trick one assumes he is a coppy of yourself and equipped with the same gear. Go in naked and dress fast with macros. Even better, wear things like Stumbling Sandals and Coarse Guantlets. Mages would wear a Fang Necklace, - 6 MND.....
Trick two assumes nothing. You go in at level 69 < 500 TNL. You bring a page from the Dragon Cronicals or Miratete's Memoirs. Get too low on HPs and/or MPs, use it, level, and instant refill.

I haven't heard of such a thing and know for a fact that I have in the past leveled off them (getting WAR to 24 that way heh). Perhaps it won't work in an instanced zone? I always use mine in town.

"......asshat?"
XD
Makes you wonder, if the LS pre-planned treating him like sh*t the way they did in the video, heh.
