What you have to remember is that FCoB is the ONLY place in the game where PvE balance matters. ALL other PvE content is so mind numbingly easy that balance makes no difference. SMN is not having difficulty in ANY PvE content outside of FCoB, simply because the content is mostly designed to be completed by everyone.

If you want to get balance in a game correct, you HAVE to balance around the most difficult content, not the easy stuff. The reason for this is simple. Player skill ranges are SO MASSIVE when it comes to other content. We all see players in CT, ST, WoD, Hard Mode dungeons, and EX primals that have no idea what they are doing. In FCoB, you need to be at least in the top 20% of player base in terms of skill to be able to complete it. Those players are the ones that are pushing character design to its limits. That is where balance matters.
