It is crazy how meany times my mage and Sword figter are geting killed mainly my sword as she is up frout, but now my mage is geting around 70-80- hp if any magic hits him and the big crabs and posion shroom dudes are murdeing my team, is it the game geting harsh or is my team just suckish
I had the same sort of problems, the game just gets a little harsh, try doing ALOT more dodging, starting the battle with some kick ass spells, and dont forget to drink those sorrows away with health pots ^^
Yummy, more baked maggots ... bah, give them to the mage ...
You answered it yourself. If you get hit you die easily. This isn't a game where you should be standing toe to toe and trading shots with anyone. It's all about kiting enemies. Gain an advantageous spot, as they line up to attack you, hit them a few times, and move before they get set. Then repeat that till their dead.
There are plenty of monsters that can kill you with 1-2 shots. Your only option is to not let them have the opportunity to hit you.
I got stuck there as well, until I realize i have to "move" while attacking them, one member died but afterwards i just walked back to level 3 and ressurected the member.
Have only played hard myself, and with full superplate armor my guys frequently died in 3-4 hits.
This is not a game where you stand still in front of the enemy, do the 2x2 dance.
