Damage Problem?

Ever since I've been questing around lvl 65, I've noticed that the damage I deal to mobs randomly reduces to half or less for no reason...

My buffs haven't worn off or anything like that and it doesn't seem to happen in dungeons, BHs etc. For example I use slipstream strike, it usually deals between 4-5k dmg, then on some hits does 2k or less. Or I crit and I do 4k damage when i should do 8k or more, or my autos attacks reduces to around 500 when usually over 1k on the same type of mobs (around swamp of the wraiths/dreaming cloud). Sometimes it'll be like that for all my hits other times not, and I don't see mobs buffing themselves or whatever.
It's only happned recently, it's so frustrating.

Can someone explain why this is?

    there is too much possible explications:
    -The mob is now boosted with 50 def lvl
    -Your using you wings while atacking
    -Your wings get bugged and while you atack is like ur using your wings x.x

    It's definatly not the last 3, I'm fighting on the ground, I repair my gear frequently...How can a mob suddenly be boosted with 50 def lvl- also the mobs I'm fighting are normal (not increased phys def).

    Myabe it can be this option:
    -Your wings get bugged and while you atack is like ur using your wings x.x (but you dun see the wings and you cant fly really)its only the - 50 atk lvl effect bugged.

    *check if other players happends the same, if it happends then the mob is boosted with 50 def lvl.

    if it only happends on you try unequip your aerogear nad see if it works.

    and check if its only with 1 mob and no with all mobs.

    Hmm... you mentioned the swamp. Are you standing in water while fighting? You do half damage when in water.

    Yea, i remember having a tough time in the swamp. It's also half damage when you're fighting on land against a monster in water, even if the water's only at their ankles. Try luring to the land first, or shadow jump > tackling slash so that both you and the monster are in the same plane (fighting in water or fighting on land).

    This could be the problem then, I will try that out thanks :)

    ^ This.

    Also I found using bows can help with that a little, although bp won't work with them, and you'll probably have to use hp pots.

    Yeah the swamps can be a total pain.
    I kinda avoided the ones in the water. I just tried to kill the ones on land.
