Increasing stats and ilevels

[File2ish]

Dia (II) for enfeebling cap, everyone loves the hell out of Dia (II) for quicker kills and it didn't destroy your MP (and never got resisted at that point of the game, iirc). Nuking was another matter, but easily remedied by soloing the high-level enemies that dropped the testimony needed for the fight per-requisite (which was also good practice for the fight it's self).

I soloed the enemies that dropped the testimonies, but I never had enough MP to spare on nukes since they hit rather hard, even at 75 and with slow/paralyze/etc. on the mob. That said, I didn't have /NIN with both utsusemis so only having blink for shadows made me need to heal much more often since composured stoneskin only had so much protection before it broke.

I could probably beat him now, I got 99 RDM before I quit FFXI (level cap raised after Abyssea expansions came out) lol. Maybe I should resub to XI for a month just to beat him xD.

EDIT: Yeah I probably could beat him as 99 RDM if a 99 BLM can 1 hit Maat xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zib2Atv_eHc
