One of my all time goals in FFXI was to get a Maats cap. Abyssea really has made that goal obtainable for me now. So while I'm out and about adventuring, I'm putting any testimonies i get to one side and doing the fights as and when i feel ready.
Rdm Maat. 1/7. This was my first job so was done at lvl 70, and this fight at the time was known to be the hardest there was. It took me a good few goes to stop being nervous about the impending beating I was about to take, and a good few tries to get lucky with the spells Maat wanted to cast. A good number of the losses came from dispite having capped enfeebling he would resist my sleeps all together. The time before I won, he chainspelled high tier nukes on me before I could get a sleep off to stop him. The time I one, he chainspelled spells like blind, dia and poison on me. Even though this fight made me resent Rdm for a while, I'm glad I managed to do this one at 70 cap.
Drg Maat 98. 1/1 This fight I knew would be beyond easy. Just from the amount of new and altered abilities Drg has had since the Maat fights were added. His 2hour just calls his wyvern (yup soloing was soooooo much fun back in those days -_-), my jumps are pimped out due to having my wyvern out and i can force healing and offensive breaths without my sub job.
The most annoying part was getting to the BCNM since you need 2 people (if your not a galka). The fight was over in a matter of seconds. Engage Soul Jump, Spirit Jump, swung at him once and used Star Diver.
Mnk Maat 99. 1/1 This fight I was nervous about. Hundred fists, even with mildly poor accuracy can still be rather painful. I ran in used my abilities and went at him, he missed a few times then hit me for 230. Maybe using counterstance wasn't a good idea. I was about to click it off when he 2h'ed. Suddenly that lone 230 damage in my chat log was being joined by many friends. I paniced at my rapidly falling HP 2h'ed myself (silly girl what a waste) and used Shijin Spirial and he gave up.
Blm Maat 82. 1/1. 2H was still down from my last fight, but suited up in my finest Teal set, and headed to the BCNM. I opened with sleepga, which Maat pomptly resisted (seriously? my enfeebling is capped and merited 0_0) and he begain casting thunderga II on me. Ouch that took me to Orange HP before I got sleep off on him. Burst II took him to 40% and I slept him again. Freeze II finished the job and he quit.
Brd Maat 95. 1/1 Back at Jueno I slapped on as much DD Type gear as I could in my accessory slots, while I was too lazy to get my Brd af3 out of storage so stuck with my Teal. I got to the Brd pop nightingale and troubadour and paeon V & VI myself, I cast elegy on Maat and started swinging away at him, this fight I would say I came closest to losing he used One-Inch Punch and another WS on me which took me to red HP. I'm a little thankful I opted for my Evasion dagger over my joyeuse which was in storage. Since one or two more hits might have lost me the fight. Plus Eviseration at the end from me was a nice finisher.
Lots more fights to come and I even want to do the Non-maat cap fights for storyline purposes.
