To keep using my (and nerdy's) encounter as an example, the Goblin Hexer is a nasty controller at pretty much any level you consider it, IMO -even though he's only a level 3. And inversely, however much you reduce the Eye of Flame's level, it's still really nasty because of the number of attacks it can potentially dish out. All in all, the main stats (defenses, attacks, hp) scale pretty evenly by level and role. So the absolute measure of a monster's danger level is the special abilities it has. Some become obsolete, but others not. Even a 30th level character, when blinded, must have some kind of countermeasure, or he's pretty much screwed.  It's a bit like choosing powers for PCs. What's better, the decent dmg of Meteor Swarm, or the UBER stun-all of Legion Hold? Just like I'd choose a Rogue as a striker over a ranger any day, despite much lower average damage beyond a certain level, because of the number and nastiness of status effects it can inflict on enemies.</blockquote>
