[QUOTE="Tilenas, post: 4973760, member: 71414"] I agree with you on the results, but would like to add that even savvy players will find themselves "feat-taxed", as they'll have to take expertise and paragon defenses if they want to keep up. I don't agree on the cause of the problem. I don't think they went over the math and said to themselves "monsters get +1/level, players get +1/2 levels plus change, yeah that's balanced", but rather had the teamwork benefits of tactical play and certain powers in mind to balance it. This probably didn't work out in actual play (maybe everyone wants to play strikers and the leaders get voted out of certain polls en bloc?!), so they introduced feats that let players keep up with the monsters even without co-operation benefits. You raise a very good point. Just because the game is fairly balanced throughout 30 levels (and it is, nerdrage about broken math aside), your group doesn't have to face monsters of equal level all the time. [/QUOTE]
