Do aoes even hit hard enough in low level duties for that to be a thing though?

I did Stone Vigil the other day and it’s beyond watered down now. Isgebind used to aoe fairly hard on landing to the point where eating dives could leave people in danger of the following AoE that was 10 seconds or so after landing. Outside of that, I honestly don’t buy it at all but would be interested if you can point me to an example where a boss Aoes immediately after a fail-able mechanic hard enough where Cure 1 would actually be the deal breaker between that person surviving or not.

Not to discredit you but I just don’t think it’s the case anymore.
