ABC strat is all people remember though, cause it's easy to remember. Which is kinda bad news if all of the bad DPS are in B. Though, at least as I remember it, there was more of a preference for ABC on Aether and an All DPS preference on Primal.

    I think it ultimately fell out of favor because only 8 people can actually enter... I think? Not sure (Always thought it was at least 12, having entered the belly and seen other people not in my party enter no problem). But even so, nowadays ABC gets employed, it always seems like people on NA don't actually want to go into the belly because of the DPS loss from shrinking. Or they just don't know. As helpful as the mnemonic is for divvying up duties, it doesn't explain the mechanics, heh.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore

    Holy necro thread, but since someone else necro'd it, I'll say on this that a lot of the time on Aether everyone and their brother wants to go into the belly now and nobody wants to do adds. I've found myself tanking them a lot as either a healer or dps.
