Most stuff in PoP has grossly lower mitigation ability then Luclin stuff, a 100k hp PoP mob will take much less time to kill then a 100k hp Luclin mob for the most part.

The insane damage output from PoP comes from the fact that SoE has sorta drawn a blank with new AoEs and scripted event fights so they are falling back on disgusting amounts of mob DPS to create challanges. They tried very high HP mobs but found that as soon as you get into the swing of things the fights degraded into "AFK need a drink" midfight from the MT. They tried ring events and still use them too much in PoP but the sorta heard the cry of "Ring events fucking blow".
