I think I may have got myself stuck

Tough i didnt look at your save, just one save will not tell us much, first things i might ask what is your playstyle in battle, do u use crowd control spell ? slow,target, phantom etc? or u just rush blindly into enemy ? with such situation i guess its the second one ..

And information about difficulty level is provided in load menu so u can check it every time ~~
