just so you know, abyssea is now over, it is no more then a glorified EXP area. the only thing people will do there is transition their AF3+2s and their Emperyans, or grind exp on other jobs (which nobody really is ever discluded from a worms party lol). and this is not "end game" once 99 hits and they start re-balancing classes, then we will be in "end game"

the reason behind BLU BLM BRD WHM NIN THF WAR being the jobs of choice in abyssea, is because they can proc for +1 and 2 items, or proc all elemental WS's for red, whereas other jobs can not. it dosent make sense to bring along any other jobs when farming seals. that would be like giving out charity. if you have a strong desire to get seals and +2 in small groups outside of your linkshell, i suggest you suck it up and grind out one of the more usefull jobs.

now that VW is becoming the new event of choice, every job is equally useful. so if you dont like playing another job, just do voidwatch instead, but you might run into the problem cerberus is hitting: a trend has hit where if you dont have an emperyan relic or mythic, your not allowed to VW unless your a Healer or a nuker.
