I'm in an end game shell but sadly my work hours prevent me from doing a lot of things with them. However I've joined up with 4 other people and we literally low-man the shit out of everything in Abyessa we can. We're a NIN, BLU, WHM, BLM, & DRK mini-static that kills stuff on the weekends mainly.
I've completed already several HQ2 sets with ease and already have several popsets for various Card and Stone NMs we kill on the weekends. It's worked out great for me and we don't fight over drop seeing as we all have an unspoken rule about job priority on who usually gets what. Most of the time we have a lot-war on stones/cards but I take it in stride seeing as we'll keep coming back again and again killing mobs until we're fully done with it.
Case in point being Sobek, We finished Katana and Sword Emperyen Weapons off that mob with just us 5. I have I think 6 or 7 HQ2 Legs for my own character simply because stones were hitting the floor.
Find yourself a group like that and I promise you the shit won't matter. P.S. Be patient about getting your drops if you do end up with a group like that and seriously do not bitch about being asked to come on X-job if it helps your static win.
Too many groups I know fall apart because people want to have "fun" with their favorite job and not be on a job which can make most fights painless.
