Yeah, trying to beat Maat on 67 Thf on my mule account to get past 75 and he stinks. I've tried the dd strat of capping Eva, protect and ss scroll. Taco for food, opo for 1000TP (actually used 8 sleep potions for 2000tp). Opened with SA then Shark bite he uses PD, I used PD, mines wore, used I wing Shark bite and then he kills me since Im not medicated. Took him to 40%. Any better strats and or can we use trusts in there yet?
Wait so you've had increased Dagger skills, 10~15% Damage increase on Weaponskills and you can't do what people did before Maat was nerfed years ago?
You must be seriously undergeared or really bad skill wise (I'll imagine the first tbh).
Have you tried a blink Band as well for a couple extra shadows?
When you WS the first time, it should take him down to the point where he will PD, then you PD + Pop your TP wing!
Couple of things to remember trying:
Blood Bolts/Acid Bolts (That means use something not a shitty bomerang) and take 10% off his defense on initial Pull, the additional chance from 10% less defense will be huge for you and your ws.
Bear in mind PD can't dodge Ranged attacks~ so you can use this time to ranged him (30 seconds should amount to ~ 7~10 shots for blood or acid bolts for hp boost or even poison bolts) I'd personally Grab Blood on first shots to cap HP unless HP is capped, then Acid, then poison for extra Tics.
Wiki:
With blazing agile movements, this secret technique allows the Thief to disrupt the enemy and completely avoid all physical melee attacks. However, this ability cannot dodge ranged attacks or magic.
If you fail after all this, then there is no hope for you beating him melee style and I suggest leveling Summoner for the easiest Maat fight imagineable.
