Try using ctrl and + to zoom, Ctrl - zooms out and ctrl 0 resets to default. Also for jobs the bonus's actually stay once you level them so its important to max all of them out. It does take a long time though to do.
You can change guilds to get a different conquest battle time, My current one is at 8pm and 10pm est but I've been in one with 11am 1pm. Search around for one that fits you more. I don't think they would do it based on conquest battles since its pretty terribly balanced in general, more people = you win.
