yeah rescue staves when you can't buy them yet, which drastically increases their value... don't wanna waste them

I mean my healers WERE outleveling my combat units, but as soon as they started to catch up... :/

I know that in FE4, Troubadours could also wield swords so they could grab XP that way. Of course, beig FE4, the only units who'd even be close to having nice dodge chances are your theives, your swordmasters, and maybe Windmages/bard, so it was a non-nonissue

Really? Usually my gained at least one or two levels a chapter. Unless this is awakening we're talking about. It's a huge pain leveling those guys up.
