Shared Pain can lay waste to entire Act I monster groups, notably the 2HP goblin archers and fire imps (from the LotW expansion)... It can also set up the rest of the party for cleaning up weakened other groups like cave spiders (3HP) and flesh moulders (4HP)... It has become a primary weapon in attacks against the smaller groups, frequently allowing the heroes to eliminate an entire monster group before the OL is able to activate them even once...

The question has come up in our group about whether Shared Pain is overpowered... We've discussed the possibility of the card being more balanced if it were an exhaust...

We noted that even in Act II, the monsters noted above don't get markedly stronger, so Shared Pain would still have significant value there as well...

Thoughts?

Disclaimer: As one of the heroes, I'm just fine with it the way it is...
