Bun, don't feel too bad. My old social LS leader was a Mithra RDM who went 0/14 before finally beating Maat.

Don't hate me for going 1/1 on PLD, ok?

I went 1/11 on Maat on rdm. I would suggest not casting Diaga. This way you still have a chance to sleep him. Sleeping him was the only way I found to stop him from killing me. If I didn't sleep, bind, gravity he would run up and smack me.

No, when I cast diaga it was the fight that I just ran in an nuked the hell out of him. My a3 after that hit for over 350. It worked really well until I had the macro/brain fail, but the elixirs ran me 70k just for the one fight, so I may go back to sleep/nuke. When I plan on sleeping him, I wouldn't dream of using a dot spell. I just got bored and wanted to try a different strategy. I am 0/7. Luckily I have made some awesome friends who see my butt back in Temple Uggly farming pots and just show up to help (>.< I suck at asking for help, so I love them all for this).

I'd never hate anyone for a 1/1 victory. I have been slacking off for years and don't overly deserve an easy go at it.^^

I had a real tough time with RDM Maat too, Bun. I'm pretty sure I went into double-digits... Then again, I actually found the process of going through the fight invaluable. Probably like most RDMs on the way up, I was a little too used to the support/pink-magey type role, so the whole idea of having to control an opponent, protect oneself, and ultimately triumph over it was obviously a massive ordeal with which to contend. I like to think it made me a better RDM, even though it was a royal pain in the {Tarutaru Stool} at the time.

Best advice I can give: Don't panic. (A "don't think about the pink elephant" trap in itself, but panic is the chief killer of all RDMs, especially soloists.) By the sounds of it, you're approaching it well, but it's the little things that make you slip up. Quick-thinking and using all your tools when necessary is what will net you the win, especially Sleep I and II, Bind, and Gravity.

I realise that's probably not exactly helpful, but... be shrewd and composed! You can doooeeet~!

"Slacker extraordinare", huh? :P But yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

And I'm having a stupid moment... What's SoM? lol

My Slacker Skill is capped. My Slacker AF gear also adds a bonus of "Hide from End Game Activities" +11!ONE!!1Eleventy1!1. It has a latency effect of "hide when an NM needs to be camped" while fishing.

It's how I managed to stay level 65 since the end of 2005 up until about 3 months ago.

Sorry Ovjang, I sent up the bomb to your pc!

I'm listening... You have my attention.

There's nothing girly about that outfit...

Then again, this is coming from the guy who enjoys the colour of the Aurore set. Silly men and their desire to avoid soft colours. :p



I... I couldn't possibly! D:

It could be worse. I remember doing a 12-man panty raid in the Aqueducts, and getting the subligar for the Parade Cuirass for my PLD.

While I was a frightening sight to be hold in those lacy panties (the picture of which I still have on here somewhere), the Parade Cuirass looked like someone took a leak all over my shiny Iron Musketeer armor.

Permission to dump massive amounts of screenshots into the 10k page?

I wanna claim before I got to bed, but I guess I just missed the mark...

inb4 that's what she said
