Commentarus:
The Abraxas are nice to xp off since they all con high-VT to low-IT to a 75 character, so xp flows nicely. That said, they share all typical Roc traits, including a fast attack rate, and hit quite hard as well. Abraxas also happen to have a noticably high resistance against Sleep effects, so take extra care to avoid pulling a link.
Pullers should note that Abraxas do have a quick attack rate, so someone /NIN is recommended for pulling, to the extent that even Bards sub Ninja when pulling for manaburn parties down here! Other than that though, Thieves have the added advantage of being able to Hide to lose aggro, which is especially useful since Abraxas are, as mentioned above, very difficult to sleep.
You can also xp off the Tavnazian Rams, which make slightly better closers to a chain. However, the Rams have a very strong AoE Max HP Down effect, and a line-of-sight Petrify move, so a White Mage is required against these. Tavnazian Rams also track based on smell.

thief puller if at all possible. hide works nicely on greater birds, which is important because they don't sleep at all. bind, however, does work wonders in the case it does happen (most likely it will come on a pop) because it is ice-based and these birds are very weak to ice.
Please make sure your nin tank has 90% hp or above all the time.
They can sure tank well here despite criticisms about triple attacks. Just make sure you have someone to backup tank / stun/ or flash after triple attack!
Thf, rng, drg shines here~
make sure you pick them while forming party if you know you are coming to here.
Severe HP down = No PLD tank for buffalos
HP down >> double attack with crits = dead PLD before whm even finishes erase
As 75BLM I actually did more damage to the Rams with Blizzard IV than I did the Birds... And they are supposed to be weak :\
