It's not as bad as it sounds. It helps if your characters are going against physical-only monsters with 99% evasion. Black Flan's are probably the best for this since they don't cast spells, and they have a inherantly high defence. Also later on it helps to use "lower level" weapons, such as Longbows, Broad Swords, Axes etc. since they'll do less damage and thusly take longer to kill an enemy. Besides which if enemies are
running away from you chances are you're overlevelled as it is.
