Keavy 1, Maat 0

So yeah, I beat Maat.
Here's how my day started. I'm 16K to 66 and put my flag up. No invites. So I search, put together a group, and off we go. 3 of my members had to leave about two hours in for Sea and no replacements so we disband.
I go run some errands, come back, and decide to try again.
Get another group going (This time lasted 3 1/2 hours) and I get my level and am now 12K into 66.
Upon returning to Aht Urghan I decide to give Maat a go. I Taru warp to Ru'Lude, start the quest, get my stuff out of my Mog House, hit the AH for last-minute supplies and while I'm doing this I see my LS leader spamming "WOO HOO!!!" in LS chat. He Melee'd THF Maat and won. He'd tried the stealing method before but it didn't work out. Pumped, I head off to fight Maat.
On me I had my WHM AF, 2x Bat Earrings, 2x Phlanax Rings, Qiqirn Sash, Holy Phail, Red Cape, and an Earth Staff. For Food I ate a Taco and meds were 1 stack each of Blinding potion (AH only had stacks) and Echo Drops, 3x Hi Ether, 1 Vile Elixir, 2 Persikos au Lait and 3 Yagudo Drinks.
I entered the BC, used Pro4/Shell3, ate my taco, healed to full HP and MP , switched my Dark Staff for an Earth Staff, then popped my drinks, hit Maat with Flash, and it began.
All through the fight it was easy enough. He hit me a lot, I went up two full levels in Evasion thanks to him, and I kept my wits about me and cured as needed and used meds as needed saving the Vile Elixir for when I ran out of Hi Ether, MP and was low on HP.
After using what I had left of the Vile Elixir MP Maat hits me with a critical hit and follows immediately thereafter with a combo. My HP is now at 200 and I freak out and as I ready my Bene macro I get my cutscene.
I sit there staring at the screen in shock and I start shaking and then just to confirm that I did win I look in my inventory and sure enough, one scroll of Instant Warp. I check my title and it says "Maat Masher."
I re-equip my LS, spam just like our leader did, then used my scroll and as soon as I arrived in Aht Urghan shouted about my victory.
So yeah. Gonna check my e-mails, hit up a few other message boards, then go to bed. Tomorrow, back to the level grind and this weekend I'll be working on my SMN sub because I am now a devotee to the WHM/SMN way.

Got a little excited and sent messages to all my FFXI friends and most of my XBL friends.
