I do remember having a specific set of jobs I would look for like 2 BLU's to split the proc spells they had, about 2 BLMs, different Melee to go through their WS's when we got a hint on what the proc was. A tank, I remember Aegis tanks became very strong again when they adjusted it to MDT II around VW time. BRD, Healers. What was rarely sought after was BST / THF / PUP. But BST and THF were popping off in dyna around this time too so while they weren't really needed for VW they were still used a lot.

It was unbalanced and not true alliance content. BLM+BLU (BRD) covered most of everything. A Warrior could cover most weapon procs. The job "diversity" felt forced, and like Hya said, it was a huge carry most of the time, with people who just sat around waiting for the moment they could either proc or kill to get their reward. Displacers made the fights non-threatening in the end. The fact you could do it with complete randoms/PUGs while arbitrarily cycling JAs/WSs/Spells made it not feel like real alliance content IMO.

For me, it doesn't really matter if you NEED all 18 people to do the content. That would be great, but I'm more than happy with having 18 people come in and being able to contribute to something that isn't grinding some points with a different name like Limbus. Dyna D, Omen, Voidwatch, Legion, etc. Even Geas fete was not bad as the mobs scaled, but it kinda sucked that it was advantageous to do it with less people.

Some of us are out here just trying to hang out with their LS and do some events

Yeah it wasn't balanced having BLU just set spells to proc and not allow them to equip spells to help the fight sucks but before VW was abyssea which was far worst. WAR + NIN for Red procs with TH and a WHM. No other job was even Needed unless a MNK for the blue Proc during Blunt period. Or you were farming seals then you would bring a BLM subbing BRD and hope for the best. So was VW balanced? No! was it better than before at least? actually a lot better imo. I atleast found the content of abyssea and VW a lot of fun.

NIN once upon a time was the King of Abyssea. Probably the height of NIN play
