I don't know where to put this kind of question, and like the title says, I'm not sure if it's just my imagination (although I asked to my guildies, and most seem to agree with me).Since the Dragon Bash update, I feel like my characters are causing far less damage and taking way more damage than they used to. Even full Berserker characters are having a harder time killing any veteran mordrem in HoT. For some more context, I use a Cleric set Tempest in fractals (I always go for T3, people on T4 are usually... impolite, to say the least), and Subject 6, on Thaumanova Reactor, was never a problem, even if the DPSing was low, focusing on the bigger oozes before the boss was assured victory. This Saturday, however, Dale Marcello, Leader of the CLAW guild, with a full legendary set, joined our team. We died multiple times to this one boss; Dale himself couldn't give two steps without falling to downed condition. And I, likewise, fell multiple times. After over a half-hour, we killed Subject 6, but then, after losing for the third time for the Thaumanova Anomaly, I gave up for the day. Today, with my ranger, I decided to farm Silverwastes for a bit. With my full Marshall set, I could easily defend an entire outpost alone. Now, two Mordrem Trolls can kill me in seconds without effort. And they used to focus on my pet while I attacked them from behind with my shortbow, causing extra damage. But now, if a single arrow hits them, everyone focus and gang on me instead. Sorry if I'm sounding like a crybaby or something like that, or if everything said here was just bad luck or my imagination, but I asked my guild today if everyone was having a similar issue, and most of them said they noticed an increase on enemy damage and reduction of player damage overall. I couldn't find anything in the Dragon Bash patch about damage, but I swear my characters were stronger before the event.

Oh well, that explains it. I thought I could beat the system. Thanks for the answers, everyone!

I don't know if it lacks info on the wiki about this, but I better tell all the events: I'm currently making an ascended heavy armor (Zojja's, to be specific), creating piece by piece. Recently, I got a Chest of Malicious Shoulders on fractals and although I already had made the shoulders, I read that salvaging an ascended armor will give you the insignia back. so I chose the heavy shoulder, changed it on the mystic toilet to Zojja's, then salvaged it and... got only a Lesser Vision Crystal and a Ball of dark energy. Eventually, lightning struck twice, and I got an Chest of Assaulter Gloves. So I decided to to the opposite: made the gloves in Zojja's, switched my crafted gloves by my new ones, salvaged the crafted one and... again, only a Lesser Vision Crystal and a Ball of dark energy. I don't know if this is a glitch or if it's how it's supposed to be. In the wiki, it says that you get the insignia by salvaging ascended, but I don't know if that "get" means "always get" or "chance of getting". Can anyone enlighten me?
