@ Odin.Machorz spirit perpetuation cost was changed awhile ago.
At that level its only 4/tick. If you used a yagudo drink and/or a vile elixir you can have the spirit out for a very long time.
Wait, how does a MNK68/No Sub have a water spirit out during a Maat fight?
@Sapphire: He had full MP when the CS started, and no form of refresh up (MNKs do not have refresh gear at 68). He may have used a vile elixir prior to the SS, the time it takes to use Asuran Fists after using a vile would at least knock off half of the MP from perp.
"Hi I beat Maat at 68 MNK, by using a Pet, that I don't have, because I cheat, because I can't do what everyone else did back in the day in a Legit method, even after 90 updates to my Weaponskill damage that give me a 85% bonus, and I still suck because I nearly died if I hadn't cheated" Did I miss anything? Oh right. Congrats!
