The perfect Maple boss fight

This is one of the best suggestions I have seen yet. However, if you did want to implement mages into this fight, I say that one of its several stages should be attack imune. Granted that this would slwo bossing down, I think that this form should have substantially less hp, but be impervious to genesis, meteo and blizzard. This way, mages aren't restricted to using moves from 3rd job which were their primary damage dealing moves. It would invite mages to learn their character instead of spamming genesis.

Another posibility is that the boss has no magic defence whatsoever, but ultimates cannot be used inside the map. Also, a higher wep def would allow from mages to be semi-useful. Potentially make him weak to all elements to increase this effect.
