Monsters needs to have different behaviors. It IS way too easy to get away from every monster and 98% of them aren't strong enough to kill you anyway if you carry a +12 enchanted item.
Instances with the current behaviors of monsters sucks. The crypt is all just stand by the walls and let the guy who follows Brigid do all the work.
However the Brigid followers are even more worthless now when you've got the "Stickthrower of the Messiah" only reason to bring a Brigid follower now is if you can't kill Kvasir on your own.
