NB Help, feel squishy

Hey. I just recently hit VR1, using DW/Bow and just feel extremely squishy now. Not sure if that's due to the patch, or just fighting harder enemies, but I die extremely easy, and I do block, and roll dodge. Gear's not very good, but still. Also, a vampire.

Currently Using Bow/DW. Wearing full medium armor, with all passives. Thinking of dropping bow for something like 1h/shield, to increase survivability. Thoughts? Or advice/tips?

Note; this is for PvE, levelling up, etc.

Thanks.

    Blur (as well as the mobility from the Double Take morph) is a nice bonus for survival, Mark target is good when dealing with multiple opponents, since killing someone suddenly bumps your HP by a ton. Try to use Shadow abilities to trigger the Shadow barrier passive (gives you major armor buff).

    When dealing with groups, use Caltrops if you have it, spamming Bombard is a good option if you're facing multiple opponents.

    A sneaky Surprise attack on an opponent usually means you can take one down before the fight even begins.

    Soul Tether is a very good "Oh crap!" button, stunning everyone around you while healing. Devouring Batswarm is a very good alternative as vamp. Dodge roll is your friend (blocking will now instakill your stamina while mitigating very little damage, so, heh).

    If you have less than 12k HP, you're doing it wrong.

    Can't think of much more right now, plus I haven't tested the current build, so my VR3 NB will have to adapt a bit. Make sure you still have a mundus bonus active (this one might have been changed inbetween).

    I wouldnt drop the bow because i loves it.

    but if you really are struggling get a 2H for the last skill rally. if you use mark target and execute and still die before you kill the target for the health regen then probably need to do more damage, rally gives you 20% damage boost and on top of this you get healing over time, also i barely use my melee weapons actual abilities. ambush/cloak/surprise attack/execute + rally(2H) and drop the DW is my preference.
