This is so much harder (and will the staff be pointless now?)

I pretty much agree with you, Fred.

I think PotCO could compromise a bit, though, and perhaps return the lowest levels (< LVL7 maybe?) to the non-damaging ranks. Things like Undead Gravediggers, Sand Crabs, Cave Bats, etc., are the PotCO equivalent of gnats and really aren't worth the time to deal with after you reach a certain level. Plus, we get zero rep for our "trouble".

But a couple of LVL9 Sergeants or Rock Crabs, for example, can still create some interesting battles, especially when they "group up" with higher level enemies. Personally, I'd gotten a bit complacent leading lower level Pirates in to places like Thieves Den -- and was surprised to find that my health meter actually hit yellow doing that exact same thing this past weekend.
