Careful, there. CR doesn't work the way it used to. The CR 2 Berserker is definitely not level 2. CR 2 means he's a significant threat to a four-man 2nd level party!
Yeah, I know. This doesn't make my entire argument wrong or invalid:
You still expect to fight a CR x on Level x (or higher) and this make the CR the "monster level" unofficially. Specially because monsters don't have level.
And the CR isn't a Challenge measure only (like on 3.x) and this is a power measure because the Proficiency bonus of the monster is based on this CR and not the HD or Level (on the case of casters npc). More important the NPC isn't build like a PC and I talked about it on that very topic.
