Is it me or is everything harder to kill now

NPC are harder to kill, players won't die and battles last longer. My example on a non vet campaign we had 25 pact against 2 daggerfall and we could not kill them. Castle's feel like a real struggle now to get. It just feels different after this last update everything changed.

NPCs and mobs have had their stats buffed up across the board, and player stats have been lowered due to the reduction in some specific types of set boni. This, along with the new battle spirit buff offering a 50% cut in damage, heals and wards makes fights last much longer in comparison to 1.6 (Though the TTK is similar to 1.5).

You cannot expect to just spam attacks to win now. Focus on slowly wearing down your opponent, then finish him/her off with a well timed CC + Burst combo.
