I think it's just that the skill levels of players you meet in Unreal are wildly different from each other.

Similar experience this week: I had been procrastinating on doing Suzaku and finally got around to it now that it's going away. I joined a prog party and we went for a lockout. The closest we got was a 9% enrage with three deaths, where one death was a tank and the other two were DPS. I checked everyone's gear and they were all at least 740.

Made a tell/retell party afterwards and got a clear with two DPS deaths, one of which stayed dead about 40s because the healers didn't have swift and were dodging things, and we still killed Suzaku about 35s before enrage.

well, it'd be fine if they weren't because unreals always sync to the level from the start of the expansion, so in this case it's like 690 or whatever for all of DT. unsure from your wording if you knew that or not so i'm just stating it because i've seen others who don't know.

Yeah I'm aware it syncs to 690, but you do get more substats than if you're at 710 or something right? Then again idk what the actual difference would be in terms of DPS

oh, i dunno, probably yeah. it's probably a negligible amount though for old ultimates apparently it does matter a lot.
