He was an elite, with 2 other standard monsters, 1 more elite, and 4 minion allies, so the combat was still threatening, but it was frustrating for the nefarious villain to spend the whole fight just being hammered without ever doing anything threatening in return.Sure, perhaps it was a design issue, because the villain had minor action powers and was a skirmisher, so being limited to standing still and making a single standard action was more painful than if he'd been, say, a brute. But could you imagine if Darth Maul showed up and just got shoved into a corner and thwacked for the entire fight without ever making the good guys worry that he might kill one of them?So, I'd rather that sort of long unpleasant beat-down not show up in Next. If a foe is tough enough to last through 9 rounds of combat, he shouldn't spend all of them neutered.What about you?</blockquote>
