Now while I am sure the math changes slightly between the Level 8 and Level 21 versions, its fair to say they probably want to keep the monster as similar as possible with mostly the math changing(?). Thus we can guesstimate the difference between Standard Monsters and Minion Variants can be as high a difference as 13 Levels...personally I thought it would be 10 Levels as a rule of thumb; meaning you see a clear tier jump of 10 between standard and minion variants.Thirdly, Shriek of Pain (I really like that power) seems to confirm that Cones are in, I seem to remember there was some speculation that they wouldn't be in the game.</blockquote>
