It's impossible to do RDM Maat with how strict some players were towards RDM without A TON of skill grinding outside of parties (something I was never very willing to do, especially for magic). RDM can't beat Maat with 140 sword skill, 50 elemental magic, 120 enfeebling, 200 healing, and 180 enhancing. He hit way too hard and could do everything we could, which was pretty much everything-- except better. It was a one sided fight unless all skills were capped and you do the enfeeble/sleep/nuke/kite method.

I never beat RDM Maat.
I found RDM Maat to be pretty easy (CoP just launched, iirc), all you needed to do was treat it like blm Maat with sleep/nuke method. It was necessary to have at least capped enfeebling and near cap elemental skill as well as having at least NQ dark/ice/wind staves. After failing DRK Maat several times costing over 2m (DRK was still a blind man with a cannon at this time), I bought some cheap staves and a few potions and took out RDM first try, I was both happy and confused why people had such a hard time with this fight.
