Which is why, IMO, it's always a bad idea to SK in a giant monster fight, unless you need level protection against the minions that might be in the area, or to increase your heal power. If you're a level 1 tank sk'ed up to level 49, you don't have the defenses to deal with the amount of damage. I finally figured this out when my level 50 scrapper kept getting killed by Lusca, but my level 14 blaster could take multiple hits.

Most people just don't understand this. I've been treated like an idiot for bringing it up.
Another problem with being SK'd up is that if nearby healers aren't SK'd up, you end up with more HP, taking more damage, and getting less proportional benefit from their heals. In fact it makes the most sense to leave low level damage dealers at their native levels and SK up any healers in the area.
Of course, with SSK, this gets complicated. Only one person can be the "level anchor" for the whole team, and high-level characters can lose a lot of benefits if they are exemplared down to a lower level character. I know I would be unlikely accept being deleveld on my 50s to try and benefit lowbies on my team. This all interacts poorly with the requirement for a team to do 10% damage to get badge credit.

The problem I had with fighting Lord Winter without being SK'ed to 50 is that his summoned critters seem to be summoned at the level of whatever he's aggroed at. Since there was always at least one 50 around, my non-SKed mid-30's characters were getting shot by purple-con Northern Lights.

Hm, last I ran the ITF was at least a year ago I think, and didn't see any then. Next time I update I'll slap the Kriegster back in. (Eeek it's been almost a year since I updated...OTOH there isn't that much I can do with it until I can find someone to run Kahn TF with...)

Wow Culex, thank you so much for this. This is a number lovers dream come true. Just yesterday I was wondering if such a thing existed so I could optimize damage for my lethal-dealing minions, and presto, I found this. Thanks again!
Yep, I've solod many of the Giant Monsters in the game, including Lusca, with my Ill/Rad Troller. Haven't tried redside yet though, but I've got a 50 Thugs/Traps I was considering using.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
I've moved on to Diablo 3, TopDoc-1304
