3) Stun order is often useful.
4) Ranged damage, Summoners, or Black Mages for damage sources. You already have the last two if you're following points 2 and 3.
5) If you want to proc weaknesses and actually get drops, fill the rest of your slots with a ton of random jobs.
Sound about right? Basically, pre-Abyssea standard strategy with Scherzo and Earthen Armor mixed in?
