I haven't ran anything below i75 in a long time, so most of this stuff is just based off my old experiences through 2.0-2.1, and I haven't run any of the new content below i75. I updated my OP so future posters will understand that haha

It's true. My first win I had 3000hp and the popular req. was 3200+ (I have a static so I do not need to conform to others reqs)
My next wins I barely made 3200 and was WHM, when my first win was SMN.
iLvLs are nice to consider and all... but in the end its an issue of 'Don't make any mistakes' and being optimal (I know when stomps are about to pop so Medica II is already on + the DPS is good so we take less dmg during the entire fight).
Raising the requirements is just putting out a safety net so that when a mistake happens it's recoverable instead of being fatal ^_^
Well... unless you go for a lava bath or a deep ocean swim. I can't heal that.
There I updated the OP list with the commentary I received from the current set of posters.
Thoughts?
