SO if they over iLvL'd them... they've been doing it since HW.
Yes... that's how it works. It releases, then a new raid tier comes out and our gear grows by 30 item levels, causing us to skip mechanics. You most likely know this by now. Just look at Aglaia and how people skip the Nald'Thal balance mechanic now.

Just like how in Weeping City we used to have lots of devastating Ozma mechanics. But once the third raid tier came out, our item level grew by 30 and now we just skip all the mechanics and it's an easy fight.
