Triple Shot Of Maat

I didn't do much last night but I felt VERY accomplished as I whooped the old man 3 times and got a SMN burn in.

First off was NIN since I was basically geared and ready to rumble. It was night time so I figured by the time I finished gearing and getting food and getting all the way out to the Chamber of Oracles I'd be ready by the next night, and I was correct. Just as I zoned in it turned night time which worked out perfectly. I started off with the regular buffs and food, and threw in Yonin too. Then I started going at him and once his shadows were down I Retsu'd him to paralyze since I didn't have Jubaku: Ichi. Then I blinded and slow'd him with Hojo: Ichi because again I didn't own Hojo: Ni. From there on out it was pretty easy. Paralyze, slow, and blind were the 2 huge factors because I only got hit once the whole fight for about 85 damage and he never even 2hr'd. In all, fight was a cake walk and even if he did 2hr against me I had over 900 HP still so I would've just kept going and not even bothered healing myself because he was so low on HP already.

Next up was PLD because I didn't have use my 2hr or use an I Wing for NIN so I geared and went for PLD right away. For the most part I was geared for ACC and DMG and used Carbonara for extra damage. Funny story about all this was that I bought Yag drinks and an HP regen food and didn't use any of them. Basically same story as NIN, just straight tanked and Vorpal Bladed when I could and saved Sentinel for an OMG moment that never came. I did use I Wing towards the end just because I was down to about 80MP and about 600HP so I figured I wouldn't bother taking the chance and just unleashed on him. Cake fight that I suggest going DD style because he honestly wasn't hitting that hard and I was never in any real danger.

When I got back from that fight I decided to gear up for SMN since I still had my 2hr as a fall back. By the time I geared up SMN I got asked to quickly come do a SMN burn so I flew out there and got about 4 merits right quick which helped me drop another merit into Lightning Potency which is now at 4/5 and I already have 2 of the 5 ready to cap it.

Once that was done I decided SMN time to go beat Maat. Again, easy fight that as long as you just pay attention and don't lose your head you'll be fine. I could've beaten the record but I decided to go safe rather than sorry. Started with a Blink Band and Titan for Stoneskin, then whipped out Diabolos and sent him on his way. When he got there I used Netherworld Blast on Maat and then Nightmare to sleep his avatar (Titan). Once my rage timer was back up I ran to the entrance and then unsummoned and resummoned Diabolos. By the time Maat had made it to me I had already told Diabolos to attack him. Maat did 2hr at this point and his avatar was awake and within seeing distance, but was way too far out of range to make a difference. When his avatar got there I used Nightmare again and then let Diabolos do his thing. By the time my rage timer was up again Maat was already at about 40% so I Netherworld Blasted one more time and Maat gave up. Very simple fight that takes very little prep or worrying especially when you are 75. I was planning on using my Yag drinks but again just simply forgot to use them because by the time my MP was dropping below 50%, so was Maat's HP and then Blood of the Vampyre was kicking in and I was getting an extra refresh anyways.

Thus bringing me down to 8 levels on RNG and 3 Maat fights, RNG, THF, and DRK. DRK I was starting to gear up for and then saw videos of decently geared 66DRKs 2-shotting him so I think I'm going to try to take that approach. Now I just need to rethink my gear and food a little then go to town tonight. If all goes really well this weekend I'm looking at Maat's Cap Sunday night. :D
