==A Maat Fight Strategy==
Another fairly straightforward fight. Only thing to take note of is that Maat will either use Eagle Eye Shot right away or in retaliation to a WS. Moral: if he hasn't used Eagle Eye Shot yet, be careful not to use a ws if you haven't got the HP to take it. Your best bet is to try and tempt him to use it right away while you're still at full HP. Use Shadowbind so he can't melee attack you (and thus possibly use Asuran Fists). Other than that, do the usual Opo-opo necklace sleep to 100% TP, icarus wings and stock up on hi-potions. Fill him up full of firepower and be done with it. A Tracker's Earring helps.
It'll be wise to use a blink band, sleep to 100% and weaponskill the first hit for your blink to take the eagle eye shot.
Being organized with macros and keep a calm mind is key to success in Ranger Shattering Stars.
Using a Gun is what has been most successful for many Rangers. Especially if the first Job you've taken to 70 is Ranger. Gun's offer better Ranged Accuracy and more attack than any other weapon. Even with Eurytos' Bow many have failed their first trial against Maat. The delay with Gun is quite negligible mostly because the skillset you're going to use in this is going to override weapon delay. The fight for the first time will generally take 5-6 minutes, most of it sleeping to 100 TP. Go in with accuracy gear and accuracy food and buff up before the fight. A stoneskin gorget (if affordable) can and should be used as well as the Blink Band. Macros are always a plus. The higher level you get to with RNG the better your chance of success because of the availability of the War Beret (+1) for further Ranged Accuracy and the addition of the Hellfire gun (Musketeer Gun +1 is just as useful for this fight though). The exact chain of events setup this Ranger used was:
Sleep to 100TP, blink band and reequip your Necklace (or Jagd Gorget) and Head piece. Then start the fight. With 7 macros you can easily win.
Slug Shot > Eagle Eye Shot > Sharpshot + Barrage + /ra > Slug Shot > Shadowbind > Icarus Wing > Slug Shot
Obviously your setup doesn't need to be exactly this, but it was worked best for me. Gun gives the highest TP return of the Ranged Weapons, so your Sharpshot/Barrage should give you over or 1 shot under 100TP.
