You're clearly not aware that Tiamat is Lv95 and was relevant when the cap was 75. Thats a 20 level difference just in case your math is as bad as your logic.
and like everyone has said, in ffxi dlevel wasnt as large a factor, thats why i said at 999 attack he was like a strong regular monster.

My logic is perfectly viable, getting to 50 is irrelevant, unless you think the equations change at 50. If you are talking about the specific case of NMs then that probably indicates NMs are a specific case. I have fought things way over my level, i solo things 10 levels higher than me. I have fought leve quests with things 15 levels higher than me. i see the effect of level, and it does not account for doing the type of damage reduction you guys are talking about, because if it was a dlevel issue you would be getting hit for 2k when you are doing 20 damage a hit. i know this from actually fighting mobs that high.
