"It's only T5 though" is referring to you saying that you still have to deal with all the mechanics in nerfed coil1. I was FC less right after 2nd coil release and I did LOTS of coil1 pfs and dfs to collect allagan pieces and caduceus slime feeding mechanic started getting ignored before it even splits very early in the echo increments. T1 ADS was getting ignored too, plenty of bards/monks who simply didnt silence the high voltage or didnt have any silencer and the party just brute forced it. T2 went to the default enrage method and rot pass pf was really really rare even before 2.2.

T4 also became much easier: last night I was talking to someone who just tried T4 (lvl 50 only after 2.3 iirc) and won it in one shot, saying he didnt actually know what was happening. I described to him what T4 was like before 2.2 and compared it to what he saw and he didn't realize what the dreadnoughts, bugs, knights and rooks can actually do to the party and he was the healer. All because the df he was in just brute forced the fight and finished it way too fast. Sure, this is maybe how some people who 'couldn't' coil1 when it was relevant wanted out of their content but in this particular case, the person I talked to wished he could have experienced the fight the way I did.
