    Watch your surrounding and try to key one group of mob each time instead of somehow aggro'sing a bunch of them.

    I was looking for a power loadout and other types of help, not an obvious playstyle type of comment :(

    Without knowing what you're doing, what your gear is, etc., pretty much all we can say is "don't step in the lava".
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    That doesn't sound normal. You need better defensive stats.

    I don't know what else to tell you besides play style. I put 6 different classes to Undermountain. None of them had your type of issue including Cleric. Barbarian would just kill anything with a look. And, they did not have 'power layout' because that would be set up AFTER they finished mod 16 campaign and got most of their gear and weapon from the campaign.

    I had similar problems with all my toons (includes barbarian). In my case I just had to update my equipment from primal to whatever I was finding in undermountain that was in fact better than what I had and not just an IL increase. Excludes the body armor and bracers which I just purchased from the undermountain seal trader.

    In terms of enchantments I purchased all level 9's to replace all my level 7s. (excludes the Black Ice ones as I consider those to be out of my price range).

    In terms of companions all bonding runestones were purchased at level 9. for all I made sure the pink ability slot was used with a healing one for all of them.

    Also, for the more squishy ones I also, made and equipped a Barkshield Enchantment. (In terms of AD cost in AH it is just cheaper to make the barkshield ones yourself.)

    I can now solo a 1 rune ME with any of my characters with minimal potion, re-spawn or stone of health use! (with the stone of health only getting used when facing more than one of those grave thingies!)

    For me, my GWF, GF and Warlock are the ones that still run into re-spawn problems more often than the rest. And, in most cases it is simply because I do not have the healing potion or stone of health equipped until after I find out I need it for a particular combat situation!

    I think the gear Nevermember gave you may be better than what you have (not all though). At least, they would increase your HP. Also, the gear you received along the campaign can be better too. For example, the chest piece Nevermember gave you has 5% damage.
