Guide to beating maat with 1-H AxeFollow

I just beat him with my warrior. Went in, slept 'till 200 TP, blink band, and used a persikos au lait. (Still had sushi on from previous exp pt.) Walked up to him.. did aggressor and warcry.. engaged, and rampaged. Took a few hits and used a few +2 high potions until he used mighty strikes. Hit my powder boots macro, ran back to the entrance, and used a vile elixir. By the time he came back into range, MS had worn. Re-engaged, used mighty strikes myself, landed another hit or two 'till I had 100 tp, rampaged again, and it was over. I feel I got lucky though, he only landed one-inch-punch and backhand blow. Didn't use asuran fists once. I know gaxe is of importance to warrior, I keep it leveled. I just wanted to do it this way to **** off the purists. ;^) Had a lot of fun with it though, and only cost me 30k or so for all the potions on Gilgamesh. Borrowed the opo opo necklace from my static mates, and I *always* keep powder boots and a vile elixir on hand. Oh, did it at 69.

I want you to visualize a kitten with a M-80 shoved up its ****

Hmmmm, one of us is missing something here...

But with an M-80, you can't hold onto a remote control and make the kitten explode when you want it. You just kind of have to hope it runs far enough away, and close enough to an intended target, before it goes off. And that's assuming the fuse stays lit.

Gratz on flattening the old man.

You'd be better off starting a new post.
Rather then necro bumping.

Buddy of mine beat Matt a few weeks ago with a Joytoy and NO sword merits on war (yes he wasn't a pld). It did take him 3 attempts (not enough meds the 1st time, messed up on ws macro 2nd time, Aurian Fists the 3rd time).

Gonna try the same myself in a few weeks if I ever get to claim Charby.

As everyone else says using a gaxe is straight forward way to beat Matt, axe+shield is a challenge (TAU items help a lot) but can be done, sword+shield or g.sword is for wars with a death wish.

Edited: crap spelling.

So do we let the Dynamite Monkeys man the Cat-a-pults? I guess we could always have them light the tails on fire. Might be a little hard to have the suicide kittens hold still after shoving M-80s up their asses. I mean, if they're unconscious or drugged, they can't screech and dig their claws into the target's face and hold onto it before exploding.

OK here is how I beat Maat 1 w handed Axe +Shield with Lv 69 WAR

to Raging Rush this may be helfull

Comments
The damage mitigation from the Hoplon is not very usefull
against Maat's 2 hr 5 hits x 17 HP /hit = 85 HP

The Vile Elixir+1 was the difference and as noted 66% of my HP was gone
by the third hit with the Vile Elixer+1 taking effect right after
(This item has a 1 second cast time !)

When the fight ended I noticed then that the Bomb core was not equipped
so I was without that +12 Att apparently

(I THOUGHT I equipped it though)
