Your main problem is going to be with lamps if u try with less then 6. Certian lamps u need to activate all at once so u can with 3 ppl but if u get unlucky its impossible to pass the floor.
I was under the impression that the floor difficulty is scaled back depending on how many ppl are in the pt. If you have 3 ppl in your group you will never have more than 3 lamps to find, therefor making it easier to clear those floors.
This is not true, we have had a floor with 5 lamps that needed to be activated at same time. It seems to scale only in mob number placement and that's about it. The rest remains the same aside from kill all floors, still like 4 soulflayers if unlucky, same bosses etc. It's really not too bad, I'd suggest bringing a well geared BLU + healer (preferably RDM) + heavy DD to finish all the floors pretty easily. BLU can provide a lot of useful things such as light based dispel (flayers) light based sleep (roc mob) back up heal/main heal if white magic restricted etc.
Not sure this wasnt a glitch if I understood you right. I've ran climbs for my LS repeatedly now, having 3~4 manned it fairly often, nearing 500 runs total. I've never seen the number of lamps exceed the number of players, i've never seen the number of 'specific mobs' exceed the number of players, so i'd have to support the idea of floors being 'scaled down'.

Depends which jobs you have access to really. A good geared Rdma and Blu with Nyzul experience could prolly duo it. Any job that can survive with very little help is a good pick. Or any DD that can lay down massive damage in a short period of time. Rdm Mnk Blu Sam Sch will all rape in Nyzul. Even Drg/Mage could work very well now and if you don't need that extra little bit of healing..Drg/sam with restoring breath could be wicked sweet.
Drg/sam ends up being a mp sponge on anything tht can hit hard, or magic users. Drg/mage tho is one of the most useful jobs i've ever seen in nyzul, on par with blu. A good dnc can also be worth a lot as a puller, or to 'fly solo', especially if they have a decent DD build.

How many floors do you think I could clear with 4 tags and a solid group?
Honestly if you lack experience you'll start off maybe clearing 10 floors in 4 tags. Once you gain experience though, you should clear at least 15 floors, and thats assuming really bad luck stopping you getting the 20. Shooting for 10 floors in one run is all well and good for sure, but you do need a lot of luck with all 10 floors. Only my opinion, but its best to play safe - especially if you lack experience.
