The problem is...its not instant. You need to build up TP for the last two, which gives Maat a chance to beat you down.
You should start the fight with Opo-Opo Necklace + Sleeping Potions unitl you get 100% TP. Then go in, Flash Maat and engage.
Vorpal Blade > Icarus Wing > Vorpal Blade
The problem I remember Cyna having is that Maat would Flash her and she'd miss her WSs, yet I can't remember how she got around it...probably Eye Drops. But still, there's a bit of luck involved because he could Flash you the instant you set the WS off too.

or you could do what Cyc did and he won easy.. not just easy.. i think he broke the time record too >.>
GS > Spinning Slash, Change to Sword Vorpal however many left needed
if correct DD gear is used your Spinning Slash should be JUST what the doctor ordered to speed up the process.... best get skillin that GS Rovie.. i'm almost to Spinning Slash

Yeah, GS > Spinning Slash x2 took Maat to half HP, I also used a Blink Band to absorb his flash at the beginning, Porcupine pie (or something like that) works great for the extra damage and try to get Neo to lend you his HAubergeon. bring extra Hi-potions, a Vile elixer, yag drinks, couple ethers just in case something goes Wrong, and remember you can sell it back later. Also, Chad, they Changed the System so Eye Drops don't work on Flash anymore. I'll try to find the Guide I used, but basically your a "Melee" DD for this Fight. oh.. and Don't forget to go in Naked |

Going naked has no affect on Maat or his strengths...this was asked at one of the Q&A sessions with the devs and confirmed by them.
I went in fully decked out in what I was going to wear to fight him and trounced him in about 4 minutes. Yet other Red Mages I know went in naked and lost to him many times in a row. It makes no difference, its just more work for you if you go in nakee.
Similar to the confirmation th at Charisma has absolutely no effect on Provoke or hate-gaining abilities/spells at all, contrary to popular belief.

My plan atm is what you suggested Chad. Sleep myself to 100% TP go in and wait lol. Like you guys mentioned, he flashes right away. Read that before on Alla. Flash blind doesn't last long tho, so as soon as that wears off I'll Vorpal Blade him, use the wing, and Vorpal blade him again. After that, I just gotta stay alive and build TP lol Hopefully Shield Mastery will help me gain TP more then plds before me. Aside from that, I think my biggest worry is his WS XD But I've read that he taunts you before he uses it. THat'll give me enough heads up to bust out my 2 hour. Should be smooth sailing ^^; (Taru is also letting me borrow his SH and his Life belt for the fight. /many bows to Taru.)

SH isn't that great for this Fight unless you got no other choice, if Possible Haubergeon would be better for the Damage and WSs; only thing SH is good for other then DRGs is for building TP... Well I guess you could use that and get Neo's Hauby and Macro it into a WS. cause you never see a THF using SH for his WS.
