No I didn't lmao. Lets imagine they are 4 dps doing 4.5k opener okay? so 4,5 x4 = 18k. Now, lets pretend those guys you talked about are lower ilvl, so their dps is about 3.8k to 4k, so lets go with 3.8k x5= 19k dps.
Oh, that's 1k more dps than the group of 4, with lower damage from everyone but they have 1 more dps, if every dps was at 3.5k it still should be enough. Now, I might be wrong, but wasn't the diabolo gear ilvl 260? And most people had 260/270 shire gear. But since people was clueless on openers, that never happened, even with 6 dps. Hell, there was a pretty fun meme going around. The diadem weapon was ilvl 280 vs the 275 alexander one and I remember we had a DRG with it and he was doing 400-500 less than me and the stats on his weapon was 1 more WD and crit/det on it with some skillspeed. Funny how people think ilvl will make them great at the game, which is far from it.

lets not make up situation these things already happened. And you are wrong when zurvan came out the only people that had 270 gear were those who had cleared up to A11s it wasn't until 4-5 weeks that the catch up patch hit that gave out a piece of 270 gear a week. So most people doing zurvan were maybe full 260 shire with a few pieces of 24 man gear. min ilvl for that fight was 250 I believe. So yes lots of people were walking around in non optimized gear at the min ilvl requirement for that fight and the community was basically saying from day one of that fight coming out "skip phases or go home" so much to the point lots of people didn't even bothering learning the major mechanic of the fight.

Now during that safety net were there people who were at the ilvls necessary to skip sure and had 5 dps and still didn't yup and those people are terrible or were messing around on classes they can't play well and the catch up patch people raised in ilvl and were still bad because they don't know their rotations. That's why anyone who had some sense and wanted to skip soar set their pfs to ilvl 265 and went from there.
