Please tell me that's not normal.
I can't bear to watch that video, but from what I can tell:
1. You really should be running Zephyrus. The C frame atk debuff is really, really good against powerful attackers like Mastema. Sol is obviously better should anyone have her.
2. If possible, tone down your damage until Mastema has used the first Overdrive. Mastema's non-Rage Overdrive is a joke. Thus, you really, really shouldn't have used Iblis' all elem+ skill until after the first Overdrive.
In other news, I feel like a damn fool. Up until today, I was stubbornly trying to make my Thunder team work for Ragnarok Mastema, but the problem was just too much damage output. It was basically impossible to not hit Rage before first Overdrive, and my attempts crashed and burned whenever I tried to avoid that. Like, not using def down debuffs? Nope, still Rages. That was one day lost.
So today, I went with my crappy Wind team, maybe like 40% Assault skill, Joan+Cybele+Zephyrus... and did it easily. No problems at all. Rage Overdrive did like 1500 to all through Joan's -40%, and I easily had enough DPS to push Mastema out of Rage before the second one. Sigh, so many days lost.
