Managing paradigm packs and roles

Question

So I've now got Serah to lv99 Ravager and lv99 Medic, and Noel to lv99 Commando and lv99 Sentinel. Is there any point in using the other roles? Other than just to level up the stats?

For example I notice that although Serah is lv99 medic, she only has about 7 skills (not at my ps3) which seems odd to me.

As this is the case I'm always running Relentless Assault(RAV,RAV,COM) which is working fine so far, short of swapping in Flanitor occasionally for some heals I've not needed anything else.

If I carry on with this play style, is there actually any point at all in me levelling up any COM monsters? I've been levelling and infusing my RAV to allow him access to the different element spells, but otherwise I can't see much point in using the other roles.

Do I just keep playing and will I get better monsters as I play through? So far I've not really needed to play about with Monsters at all, and I feel reading questions on here that I'm missing out.

I've not used the Wide or Cross paradigm styles either. I stick with Regular the whole time.

Answer

For the most part, infusing monsters isn't really required. You can run through the game with stock monsters without any difficulty. It's there to provide an extra level of customization.

I went through the whole game with a level ~40 Red Chocobo. These are late bloomers, so for the most part, his attack was around 200/250. Not very high at all.

You will get different monsters as you play; not necessarily better. Each one has it's own unique skillset and abilities.

My own experience shows that for the most part, Aggression (COM, COM, RAV) is enough for most of the game. Only for the really strong monsters (Tonberries, Steppe bosses, etc.) do you really need to tweak your paradigms and the monsters.
