So, yeah, been playing this awhile. Hit Level 15 recently. I'm playing a hybrid mage/warrior build. Mostly relies on Rush to get in close and smack things with a two handed sword and whirlwind, but also has Magic Missiles for range spamming, and a few passive skills like Mana Leech and Potion Efficiency, a fairly balanced stat-set with an emphasis on strength, and...

He gets SLAUGHTERED! Seriously, I feel like I have to chug a potion every couple of seconds to not die. If I run into a group of Level 11 Black Rings, 4 levels below me...THEY win due to sheer numbers and how fast they can damage me! So I guess what I'm wondering is...

Well, yeah. How do I make a hero that doesn't feel like a piece of paper? I can hit hard enough, usually do around 50-100 damage per swing, but when enemies I outlevel can tear me apart...Something doesn't feel right.
