As usual, heres my take.
The guy who posted those comments was part of a raid in 2001. If you go into his post history, you can see he is commenting as a level 52 on a paladin quest in January 2002. You can further go into his profile and see that he left Allakhazam as a 54 paladin with fairly substandard gear in Velious.

I don't think you should implement change based on the findings of what was likely a level <52 paladin on a level 55 mob that may or may not been debuffed.
Also, if you feel like doing some major detective work, this Aegiral is the same one on allakhazam:

Many thanks to those who were present.
(Apologies to those who do not for reasons x or y could participate, but it is not lo'bjet this post)
It is possible, the Hole was defeated with only two groups (52-56). All this was possible thanks to an intense discovery and coordination of both groups concrete, able to act completely autonomous way.
In fact, we all so prepared and swollen were in block, that we ca finally almost seems easier than it had feared
Excellent jumpers, excellent work enchanting and melees on non mezzables mobs, perfect and efficient management of mana from everyone (the big difficulty of the Hole), in short we have advanced a good pace without let trap by a staggering rate of respawn.
A master stroke so
Among the moments, strong, well be mentioned on the swan dive by the waterfall (which we economise qques hot combts the second part of the city, but given the limited Encounters problems, we could probably go through the too), and the final battle against the powerful Dartain the Lost (so difficult that Verant has discretion to give him two drops at a time like any good self-respecting big mob ).
Absolutely nothing to say more on tactics and technique. Difficult to put the bar or find details a "critical" in this context!
For the shaman FA: it therefore lacks more than two final fights has CoM, I will try to organize this week (probably Wednesday or Thursday evening)
Allocation of loot:
Loots FA:
- Engraved Ring (FA shaman): Kjeld
- Essence of a Ghost: Silh
- Essence of a Ghost: Auril
Non FA Loots
- Loam encrusted sash: Auril
- Withered leather bracers * 2: Fir
- Withered leather gloves: Kjeld
- Withered leather tunic: Auril
- Smoldering brand?
- Imbued Shield of Paineel AC22 str4 poison4 cold4 effect: enduring breath: Aegiral

Thank especially Erollisi Marr!
by Aegiral
It is through her that we all survived a bout that could (the) end catastrophically, the Dartain against the Lost!
This guy was incredibly MR, no way to snare, to stun ... Nothing!
And when it started to leak (add 2 spectra) to the tower, incredible but true ben one of my root pass and eventually held suffisemment long as the one before it completes passes porch (hello train).
Divine intervention I tell you!
Yep I deserved this shield!

So... a guy who was at most level 56 (likely 52-54) was fighting a potentially debuffed level 55 mob and claiming the mob was MR based on inability to land stuns (no shit, he's not stunnable). This is the evidence that you're using for change?
We do see he did drop 2 items though.
