Even within DPS, some groups assign priority based on where a DPS job stands in terms of their personal damage. For example, I play DNC in my static. I am the lowest in terms of damage among the DPS, so I am fourth place for getting upgrades. Our MNK/SAM and RDM are number one and two respectfully because they deal more damage than me. Our NIN is third.
Is that one upgrade each in that order and then another round, or do you aim to fully gear one person before giving upgrades to the next? The former makes sense, but the latter would feel unfair to me. It's your static of course, but if I joined a static and found out I have to wait months before being allowed to get any loot I probably wouldn't stay with them. I know there's also the book drops everyone gets, but it takes a while to get any gear with those.
