Levels

Discussion : Why do we need a levels chart ?

Blizzard has enforced rules for making sure your charactar stays in a range of levels close to the monsters , typically +/- 5 levels. In this way a level 1 char can't just tag along behind a high level charactar and get mad experiance for not even killing a single monster.
  If you're more than 5 levels above or below a monsters level , you get an experiance penalty. If you're 10 or more levels above or below a monster, the experiance penalty is 5%.
  After level 25 , attacking monsters above you his handled by  a different formula.

Exp = MonsterXp * (Char Level / Monster Level)

  So a 25th level charactar attacking a 50th level monster would get half its xp value , a considerable improvement over the 5% rule. Unfortunately , the odds of a 25th char taking on a 50th are slight at best. And if you get help from a high level charactar , the experiance is divided up by level , so the high level charactar gets the majority of the experiance.
  This is on top of the usual problems of getting hit even once means you get killed.  And if you're in Nightmare dificultly or Hell , you lose experiance every time you die.

A chart saying what level the monsters are in the area's of the game would be ...useful.
