Actually, my enchanter at L5 ran across a twinked L2 rogue
fighting an orc centurion. The orc would only ding him for
1-2 points every few hits. He was healing at a normal 1 point
every 6 seconds so he was effectively taking no damage. He
could barely hit the orc because it was red to him. So the
result was a stalemate as these two hacked at each other for
almost 10 minutes. He could've breezed through L1-5 without
any downtime if he'd stuck with even-con mobs.
