Ok good to know. I've found this game much easier so far than the other times I started. It helped a lot to start out with a party of four, as it gave my ECLs a headstart on levels and HP- particularly the DG monk.

No, I'm not really finding myself doing a lot of healing. The monk takes about 60% of the total damage sustained by the party, but the focus on AC buffs means he usually just gets hit on criticals. I have a huge collection of healing potions left over from the Horde Fortress, and am using those for minor healing and in-combat healing instead of spells - especially as I can't take advantage of spontaneous healing spells. The recent addition of Stoneskin to my collection of buffs will turn the monk into even more of a damage sponge.
