Talk:Shattering Stars/White Mage


 * Additional Comments:

To my experience, this "fight" is not won by surviving 5 minutes from the moment you engage him. I did all the buff-ups and used a little time recovering mp, then timed when I engaged, hoping to survive for 5 minutes, and win. When I lost, almost 7 minutes had passed, from engaging. If the battle *is* about surviving a certain time, then I would guess it is random. There are also rumours saying that when you have healed for 4500 hp, you win. Unfortunately I forgot to check my text log to find out how much I healed before I lost.

A little warning: be careful which potions you use. Hi-Potions will prevent you from using cure the next 10 secs or so, but I'm told that X-Potions has a limit of 20 secs, so the 150 hp they heal, is *not* worth it. If you can afford it, bring with you one Vile Elixir +1. This will heal 50% of both your hp *and* mp. On Fenrir these costs 100k each at the moment...

For food I strongly recommend that you bring a Tavnazian Taco - lots of good stats, and increases your DEF by up to 25%, or maximum +150.

Most players will tell you how easy this battle is - don't take lightly on it, it isn't. At least it wasn't for me. Make sure you are prepared for it, following the suggestions in the excellent in-depth faq above, and you should have a decent chance.

RyoRiazaku: I just beat Maat in 9min 8sec (just barely made the battle limit). I have 913HP with subjob, so even less in the actual fight, and healed for a total of 3041HP (I was in red, about to heal again, when he gave up). Hopefully this will contribute in some way to narrowing down the pattern/requirements.

Hammy Wan: I just beat Maat in 8min 43sec. I had about 750HP (Taru) and around 800 mp (in fight). I healed for a total of 1800HP plus one Regen 3 at the beginning. I only used 2 yag drinks, no pots, to ethers, no elixers. However, I did have almost all of the gear noted above which really really helped. I kited him the whole time and the only WS he got off on me was Tackle which didn't do much. I probably got really lucky, but it was pretty easy for me.
