(5 or better to hit, 80% to hit).  Average damage per hit: 19.  Expected DPR: 15.2. %Threat: 13.8182%So, compare.  Heroic monster's threat: 11%.  Epic monster's threat: 14%.  Not a huge difference.And then consider:  Abilities that heal are more effective at higher levels, and there is more of them.  So, that 14% threat is less of a danger than it would be at level 1.Seems to be the math is exactly how it should be.  That comment wasn't directed at you specificly.  But someone else felt he didn't feel 'heroic' at epic levels.  I dispute that's the point behind higher levels.  You're saving the world at that point.  Sounds like it should be difficult labor at best.</blockquote>
