Seems like he attacks waaaaay too fast here on Nasomi vs. retail ; ;

Went in as 70 WAR, slept to 100tp, food, buffs, and then went to town on him... but it ended very quickly for me. Noticed something wasn't right so I watched a bunch of fight vids from 2006-2009ish. I found that he definitely didn't attack that fast in retail... on the vids he was attacking every 6-7 seconds (approx), during my fight he was attacking every 2 seconds... is this normal?

Here a battle log of the fight, starting from engage to death:

16 attacks in 30 seconds... That's an attack every 1.875 seconds. Got lucky with 6 parries or the fight would have only lasted about 15-20 seconds. Only got him to about 50%, he never even 2hrd

I guess my question is: Is this normal here? Or do I need to revamp my strategy?

A buddy reported maat having hundred fists like attack speed on his drg. If you bring an icarus wing for a second tp move you should get the kill even with his bugged attack speed. Maybe try to get your hands on a blink band. Hopefully that gets addressed, seems like something broke with the delay update on him

Thanks, I figured something was up. I’ll give the Icarus wing a try next time whenever I can get a new test and see how it goes, hopefully I can beat him in time!

Icarus wing was a must when I beat him as WAR a few weeks ago.

MNK mobs been known to have stupid atk speed bugged after server maintenance, maat been included in that before. I've known a few that had the 100 fists maat problem on their 1st attempt, then on 2nd attempt after he technically is "respawned" itwas back to normal maat again.

I'll be doing the WAR Maat fight soon enough hoping that it would just be a gear check. It'll probably be a few weeks, but I'll update the thread.

opoopo, food, Raging Rush maat then eat an Icarus. 2hr auto attack until he mighty strikes...aggressor, berserk, & warcry raging rush for the kill. Was an easy fight. if you blow your WS too early, it'll be tough eating those MS hits from him near the end (my first try I lost to him from 3 crits and he was less than 100hp). Also try to skillup evasion and parry as much as possible if not capped.

Good luck!! I beat him on WHM today XD

Truth. Opo-opo Neck till 100TP or more, Raging Rush > Icarus Wing > Raging Rush = win
