    It's not as easy as players who have cleared it let on. It's easy for them NOW because players who have cleared it as well as later content have no issues.
    But the gameplay shift means it's not objectively "easy" giving the framework laid before it.
    I also wouldn't say its "hard," though. To use TVtropes terms, it's a "wake-up call boss." If you don't know what you're doing you can still screw up because watching videos doesn't prepare your physical body for it. If you're off by about 3 feet during divebombs you can wipe your raid.
    Thus, it's not "easy," nor is it "hard," it has a learning curve. The learning curve isn't necessarily STEEP, mind you, at least not compared to t6 where you have to perform an action that you've never had to perform before in any other encounter, but it still exists and some slack should be given to players at that "learning" phase.
    Of course if they keep failing to the exact same mechanic 5 times in a row, they're not cut out for it.

    I literally helped a player last week who I personally watched beat it on his second attempt ever. He'd only done up to Titan Ex without a win yet and had never done anything past T5. It's easy.
