This guy is either a breeze or a total pain. It depends on the order of his abilities how it will affect you. If soloing with Trusts, I recommend WHM so you can better control your MP. You will need to have a constant refresh going and use the temp Dusty Wing with Spirit Taker WS to refill MP as well as the Lucid Ether II temp item. A trust WHM will just drain MP too fast and can't use items. Also be sure to have mostly iLv117 gear

In some cases he never used Death Prophet. But when he did use it, he tended to keep using it till he was defeated. So be prepared, if you see it once, there is more to come.

Macerating Bile stacks a very powerful Bio on top of multiple debuffs at once (INT down, MND down, AGI-down, STR-down, CHR-down). This makes it very difficult to erase just Bio because you end up erasing the other status debuffs instead. In most cases, it costs less MP to just heal lost HP from the Bio effect. So I recommend keep as much distance as possible to avoid this and most AoE effects.

My trust group is Gessho as tank, Prishe II and Lilisette II for DD and assistance with healing (very, very useful, but have to watch for frequent Silence), Tenzen II and Senih Lafihna for ranged attacks and avoiding AoE. Use Baraera every so often as it will either wear off or get dispelled.

(Unconfirmed)There seems to be a debuff that protects from Macerating Bile. In some cases, all party members were not affected my Macerating Bile after multiple attempts. But since I was too far away to get the debuffs, I couldn't tell. I suspect it was paralyze as I noticed many "is paralyzed" messages when Macerating Bile wasn't hitting.

This guy has defeated me multiple times at 1% health so be ready for surprises.
