So far, Power level has only been a glorified progression gate, slowly allowing you to not be too weak in certain activities, but beyond that (from what I've learned) you gain no advantage when your power level is over the minimum requirement.
Is that still going to be how power levels work in Forsaken?
Edit: I don't think we should steam role night fall or raid bosses (although that would be fun near the end of a season), but being 10+ the minimum requirement should have noticeable impact without having to bust out a calculator and carefully measure each damage number to figure out the advantage. You don't want us to over power an activity too much? Set the requirement really high. Easy peasy.

I’ve looked for the link but it’s years old now and hard to find. Bungie went over the power level thing way back before D1 even launched. The intent of capping power per activity was for grouping with friends. You can play together at an even level instead of one person completely outclassing and carrying the other.
