I believe that the spot where the archers stand can be moved back a bit if needed, that might aid in the close DDs not getting hit by eruptions.

Also confirmed that the spot is also good for THM. Had a GLA/CNJ/CNJ/THMx5 group go in with CNJs to the sides, and a THM group testing out the same ARC spot, and it worked out perfectly. If all of the THMs were there, our CNJs would have lived, and our GLA was slightly noobish so he got us killed. Tomorrow I will confirm this strategy if it kills me!

Also, it seems the JP players have also discovered the spot, so it must be at least partly viable. I'll have to watch for that spot AdvancedWind spoke about
