1/2 on the old coot myself on whm.

First try was at level 66 where I went in way too nervous for my own good.
3/5 hits he landed on me were crits and I couldn't time my cures right.
He kept slapping me silly until he used Howling fists and finished me off.

Second try I went at 70 with a lot more evasion gear.
This time he missed 2/5 hits actually and hardly critted me.
He didn't do any WS on me and after 5ish minutes of taking hits and a lot better cure timing he gave up.

3rd time I wanted to see him go down so I went in as summoner.
*What slap me silly?*
*SMACK! TAKE THIS {Predator Claws}!
Maat takes 1537 points of damage.
Maat: Ouch that hurt!
*Had enough?
Maat's Avatar readies Astral Flow.
Shirai is out of range
*Take this! {Predator Claws}
Maat takes 1327 points of damage.
After that it only took a few more melee hits to floor the geezer.

Most of the RDM I know have gone the "cheap" route with Maat. If all your abilities work and you dun get resists, you can slay him without expensive consumables. They just keep trying him until they get the lucky sequence and a win.

That was my approach as THF, too (waaay back). I resolved to do one Maat per day as soon as I was of sufficient level. THF is a lot easier than RDM, but it's all luck, too. Steal. Fail. Die. RR. Steal. Fail. Die. Repeat until you win. Thing about RDM is that y'all dun just have ONE chancy thing that needs to succeed, you have an entire sequence. MUCH harder.

G'luck on it! Persevere and you'll get him!

I am talking about dynamis where lag is KING. (R1500- 2500 at all times)

I am also talking about defensive buffs, not offensive bps, so there is not mob to move; just me standing there, pissed that I still have no stoneskin and have to wait 40 seconds to try again. My macros are set to cast on me, so I am targeted. Idk, it's a pain in the ass.
