The Overall Fight
Setup
The best way to do this fight is to have a tank PT consisting of at least 3 tanks along with one RDM/WHM as an eraser/refresher. This tank PT will be out of the main alliance for everything except the PW fight (which is the easiest part). The main alliance will be full of DDs, and one DD PT will drop to ally with tanks for the PW kills.
We started the PW fight with 21 total people, along with a few mules. The absolute highest amount of people we had during the fight was a little over half-way through, hitting 38 total including 7 mules and people who were passed out. On average I would say that we had 25-27 real people for the majority of the fight, after the first 4 hours.
This is what our alliance setup was planned to look like for the fight, and it followed it for the most part:
Tank PT
Blackice PLD/NIN
Danerys PLD/NIN
Soloo PLD/NIN
Zoot RDM/WHM
Moochie WHM/SCH
Acorn WHM/SCH
* We later decided that keeping so many mages in the tank PT was a bad idea, due to issues I'll describe later.

The second DD alliance was full of people that wouldn't be able to attend the entire fight (if at all), and so were thrown there. People were also rotated between alliances depending on which damage was best for some fights. In total we had up to 8-9 relic weapons present for this attempt, including 2 horns, 1 aegis, 2 amanomurakumos, 1 apocalypse, 2 yoichi, 1 mandau, and I think another.
