So I used my mage to try the dragon born dlc and oh my it was terrible, I got 1 shot by a draugher lord (apprentice difficulty) in this mining place with his bow and arrow and I was level 28. I wore mostly robes so I literally got no armor rating and my hp isn't high obviously since I'm a mage so I'm really frustrating at this point. Thinking of using my warrior to play the dlc instead but I don't to just ditch my mage so any idea on how to make it work without lowering the difficulty?

...were you using any protection spells like ebony flesh or the like?
