The difference between the post-50 content and pre-50 content is that there are quite a few more mechanics-heavy fights compared to 1-50, all in the name of preparing people for EX Primals/Raid content (which I greatly appreciate).

Also, being a line AOE actually means that it can overperform quite a bit in anything that involves adds as it becomes 200*# of mobs worth of potency which is a big gain.
