Creeping Doom/Strategies

Tips
Bitoso has a tendancy to cast Cure III on himself. This makes it difficult to kill him, since he recovers so much HP while you're trying to wear him down. Most of the strategies involve interrupting him or preventing him from casting.

Working Job Combinations
This section is not meant to discourage people from trying different combinations, but to illustrate combinations that have been tried and tested. Please feel free to try this BCNM with any combination you think might work, and above all, have fun!

Black Mage + Black Mage + Black Mage

 * Bitoso is a prime target for Manaburn trios, as he is easy to sleep and doesn't resist nukes often.
 * Very high resistance to Silence. Elemental Seal is advised.

Strategy:
 * Sleep and nuke.

Strategy Pros:
 * Bitoso is easy to sleep and aspir.

Strategy Cons:
 * Very high resistance to Silence. Elemental Seal is advised.
 * Black mages are easy for him to kill.

Making this Strategy Better:

Any two jobs that can use crossbows + White Mage

 * A popular strategy is to use Sleep Bolts on him to try and keep him from Cure IIIing himself.
 * Have a white mage in the group for Poisona and Paralyna, as well as healing.

Strategy:
 * Have the two people with crossbows alternate Sleep Bolts with Holy Bolts, which do nice damage on Bitoso. Have one start off with an Acid Bolt to lower Bitoso's defense, and the other immediately follow with a sleep bolt. The first will then switch to holy bolts, while the second immediately follows each with a sleep bolt.

Strategy Pros:
 * Bitoso sleeps pretty easily.

Strategy Cons:
 * If you don't have a RNG or two, you may end up timing out, because of the reduced damage a THF or WAR or DRK will do compared to a RNG. On the other hand, a time-out is preferable to a full party wipe.
 * Requires good coordination between the two shooters.

Making this Strategy Better:
 * Load up on the ranged accuracy and attack gear and food.

Blue Mage + Blue Mage + Blue Mage

 * Taking advantage of the low level Stun abilities of the Blue Mage, coupled with their good damage dealing capabilities, this BC is perfect for three Blue mages.

Strategy:
 * The Blue Mages should all sub WHM if possible, for Poisona and Paralyna, or at least RDM to help cure others if needed.
 * Each should equip Healing Breeze and Sheep Song for auto-regen.
 * Each should equip Head Butt for stun and Bludgeon for damage.
 * Each should equip Cocoon and Metallic Body for defense.
 * Divide up Sprout Smack, Wild Oats and Sandspin for enfeebling.
 * Decide on a stun order, since the recast time is 10 seconds. It's better to have them spread out by a few seconds to ensure spell interruption.
 * Buff up and attack, using your damage spells and Head Butt as needed.

Strategy Pros:
 * High interruption rate with a lot of damage.

Strategy Cons:
 * Possibility of running out of MP if you aren't using juices.
