Not sure how it feels for lower level sins, but hunting at 59 feels really risky on equal level mobs.
Still getting hit reasonably hard by mobs with full shields and lustrous gear in combat normal. Spells are also doing quite a bit of damage even when higher level. If I didn't have max health I would be dying constantly. Possibly need to look at spells protection or level vs equal or lower level mobs. Even mobs half my level still do considerable damage and if entering a packed room when not in parry is possible to be zeroed.
Hunting with spells instead of weapons is even worse, still forced into combat normal so same damage take, for less damage and slower mana regen.
Priests get leather armor, which is a significant increase in damage reduction then cloth. Not sure about orcs.
Suggest higher/new shield buff for cloth healers only or new passive damage mitigation ability. Perhaps something that mimics some but not all of the mitigation that being in combat parry gave. Or change direct staves to allow defensive or parry stance for healers only.

Combat in rooms with 2+ mobs generally consists of: sneak into room, attack 2x, click comb parry macro while on timer for 2nd attack (usually under 50% health), leave room, heal 1-2x, bandage, repeat.

There are a lot of things to think about here in terms of what is happening damage wise. Right now armor isn't working as intended, so we aim to fix that by providing damage mitigation instead of damage avoidance like it is now.
Priests getting leather was at the request of many of the priests who wore plate in DFC. They were much tankier, and so that is the direction we'd like to see them go. Their main spells are much weaker then Sins/Orcs, but they can still use direct staves, which still need a lot of tuning.
We have a lot of big ticket issues that are causing a cascade effect and once we are able to iron out those we will get a better understanding of where every class needs to be.
