It is also just way easier to cheese mechanics with the buffed potency than it used to be. It’s so easy to cheese allagen field these days with shields because you have more free mana to spam shields and the shield potency is higher. I remember in ShB I did a coils run of T7 and we were killing her so fast she desynced then we pushed her phases so fast she somehow managed to resync and we cleared her as normal. That 100% would have been a wipe when current
Minimum ilvl can't be trusted for old fights, the scaling is all off nowadays.

When I did Midas savage with some friends, we actually did it below minimum ilvl for better scaling, I think we did it in i110 gear for the closest experience.

I do think it's unfortunate that new players can't get the experience as it was back then anymore though. If only they had a mode that places you wholesale back into that expansion with kits, scaling and all. If they had the technology to do that, they could also preserve the challenge of old ultimates, my poor boy Golden Bahamut doesn't deserve to be treated like this.
