...now I'm lost.
Played on Adamantoise for two months. Then transferred to Gilgamesh for a month. Then played on Balmung for nine.
In that year, I've never once seen the method I've been venting over (the one Kage's describing above) until this past week. It's always been the triangle (which Sounsyy says is a JP method? Way to go, Masamune). Dragon has always been tanked in the middle, or thereabouts. Alliance A has always taken the row of platforms to the left, B has always taken middle/entrance, and C has always taken the right. There's never been a need for the full diameter of the arena between the Dragon and the Platinals because the Platinals usually die by the time they go from the third platform in the row to the second platform ANYWAY - this is what happens when you can have your entire team, including melee (dear ranged, we deal reliably consistent damage faster than you do), contributing.
I've only ever seen the... snrrrrk... "Hyperion Facepull Method" in obvious trolling attempts. I've never seen this new "method"Â paraded about as a strategy actually worth considering until I had that run last week.
Dear Warren: please continue fucking the police, because apparently there's been a change in management and the new guys don't know wtf they're doing.
EDIT:
Yeah, that lines up more with what I'm familiar with. Aether takes it middle. Wouldn't know about Primal.
And the cone doesn't really need to be silenced anyway. No one other than the MT should be over there, and the MT should be close enough to the base of the cone to sidestep it.

... if people would actually fucking silence it.
I was wrong in mentioning the JP data centers. They usually do something different. I think B usually MTs. But the North Dragon against the wall is definitely a Primal Data center thing according to various threads in the official forums.
