70 DRK, time to fight Maat!
On my first 3 attempts I was nervous and got killed. I also went for too high a delay meds, like Xpotions and Hipots+2
So I decided it was time calm down and think.
With the help of my good friend Vycious (Teh best DRG on Bismarck) I added 5 lvls to my Evasion and got another test.
I went in wearing Carapace Rings for -12 accuracy. I did the Absorb Vit, Bio 2 and then WS, Icarus Wing, WS....Both were Spinning Slash. Then he did the 2hr, I unlocked and ran the outside edge of the room. He whiffed soo bad that he gave up and started doing Bio 2! I turned did my 2 hr and when my TP was up I hit him with a 3rd WS! By this time I was using my Elixirs. I kept slamming him with my Balmung's Dispel activating, removing his DEX, INT, and ROFL....CHR boosts from his absorb spell casting! I RAN out of HiPots but stayed Calm. I looked up and saw I had 108 TP. He started casting stone 2 on me with my HP at 78, so I hit the SS macro and landed the 4th WS and removed all of his HP and he gave in! Victory was mine and he never even got enough TP for his WS!
Tips for all jobs attempting this:
Stay Calm and focased and turn off the freaky battle music.
Research in and out.
