Feagh

Hi! I played about 26 hours in the game, my party is 8-9 level (only in-game characters), difficulty: normal. I think I completed all my stuff in the west: So I venture out to the East on the paladin girl's quest and I get my ass well kicked on the way!! Before, I steamrolled through the game without too much effort, I play with minimum party AI and a lot of micromanagement 'cos it makes battles more fun. The party is: Me (cypher - crowd control), Aloth (mostly damage dealing), Monk (healing and defence spells), Chanter (summoner), girl paladin (tank + healing), Eder (tank) Is it because I still have to level up, or did I screw up my classes and they become inefficient due to the spike in the difficulty? Any advice would be appreciated. I read that completing the game on Normal is trivial, and the game was quite easy up until now.
