Difficulty Indicators
Each monster has up-arrows or down-arrows by its name. The arrows indicate how powerful it is for its level. Here is a rough guide:

Encounter Composition
Creatures are linked into encounters. Typically, an encounter adds up to either Heroic or non-heroic difficulty. The pieces of the encounter add up in various ways:

Can I Solo It?
Ask yourself the following questions:


 * 1) Does the monster have the word Heroic beside its name? - if it does, then the encounter is probably way too hard to solo.
 * 2) How many creatures are linked together? - some classes are better at handling one strong monster, while other classes are better at handling crowds of easy monsters.
 * 3) Does the encounter add up to ▲? - these are the hardest types of encounters for most classes, and might not be beatable, depending on your equipment and spell situation.
