Enemies within the GROVE ( Just banter discussion not complaining )

[Kiss of DEATH]

So I was just wondering if anyone else is still taking major damage within the Grove area for lv 15-19s. I'm currently a lv 22 Bandit that's running a Dex build for evasion and critical damage boost; yes I know this area is one of the final area's (as of the current version) that should be CHALLENGING. However, I do have decent gear with enchants that run to my specific build style; and yet I'm still being hit like a truck from lvs 17-19, YES I EXPECT TO TAKE DAMAGE I'm not saying I wont, but these guys hit so damn hard.

Anyone got either tips or insight to the situation? I do have a lot put into dex and Vitality so I'm not missing a bunch of health or anything, stuff is just chaotic in there.

I feel like the crescent grove should actually be lv 20-25 with how hard enemy's hit

How much have you invested in to Vit?

Enemies hitting hard is what I like about the game, but you're probably lacking in defense and/or HP. The community has immediately flocked to DMG+ enchants because the gains are visible and "muh big numbers", but I've noticed a dramatic reduction in damage when using Guardian enchants. At just half Guardian vs no Guardian, I'm seeing 30s vs 50s for hits. We don't have a clear formula for defense, but it's effects are noticeable.

And, uh, it is possible to not take any damage in a fight. It is true, you should expect to get hit. But it's been happening more and more frequently for me that I come out of a fight without getting scratched.

It really just depends on how much Vitality you have. Its not that low Vitality is bad (Bandit and Mystic are fine), but you need to play at range.

Damage in this game is kind of a lie, invest a bit in vit and get skills like Sturdy or Divine, Divine is kind of broken in any class

What's your health, defense, and magic defense?

It seems like putting all your stat points into your damage stat gives you less than a 100% bonus damage multiplier, so losing some stats to vitality, or even all of them would not hurt too much.

Health seems fine, magic defense is a bit low but that's common for classes that aren't mystic, so the stats are fine enough. Getting hit for 30-50 damage is pretty normal from a lot of enemies, probably gonna eat a bit more than that from carbuncle flux bolts with that magic defense though, and the mushrooms too. For those I really recommend using range and dodging.
