Reached level 9-10 on two characters and I noticed this seems to be a major turning point in difficulty. Not only are there more groups of over 2 enemies in each mob, but the heavy damage comes in at a much faster rate. I am getting toasted really badly in certain areas because I just can't keep up with the incoming heavy damage. For instance, when I die, it shows me that every other hit is heavy damage, taking about 1/3 of my health away from each hit. Between three enemies, I just can't block or dodge them all.

One other thing I noticed is, one time I will attack a mob and they will go down really fast, then I attack the same kind of mobs on other pulls, and they are going down at an extremely slow rate, to where I Just can't kill even ONE before they kill me! Its like, for that one pull, suddenly I am fighting an elite or special mob.

I am doing the quests just outside where the werewolves are, where you have to collect the blades (Sat there and watched about 5 players all die in just one spot and they dropped just as fast as me).

Any help I can get would be appreciated. I am on a level 10 sorc and a level 9 melee NB. It's no fun taking two heavy shots in a row from an infantryman sitting in the back while two melee are pounding on me and not making any progress at all killing them. It seems just damn near impossible to block all of this heavy damage coming in!! Single pulls are a breeze, and most I can get away with just a few scratches. Three just seems unmanageable.
