The Aether PF D Marker: Alexander Darnell comments

In Aether PF  the D marker has been used for Raven Dive in Nael phase and for stack position in adds. Be very careful if you’re using it as the stack spot in adds if it’s chariot (out) first because often times people get blasted by chariot by going to D immediately or just don’t make it in time for the stack.

* For In -> Spread -> Stack, the D marker is fine to stack.
* For Out -> Stack -> Spread, the marker is also ok as long as you mind the chariot (it’s usually safer to just meet in the middle for the stack).
* For Out -> Spread -> Stack is where people tend to have spread too far (since the D marker is close to Nael). Try to avoid spreading too far from D if you’re going to use it as the stack point (generally being within the neuros and/or around the 3rd neuro will provide sufficient space to meet back at D; alternatively spreading around the middle and then stacking there has proven to be safer).
