Adding this because I have a 1000 character limit. in SV my problems stemmed from me not reacting to what was around me. Once I knew that the trash in there is a bit more dangerous than what i've seen up to then, I changed up to using Fire II a lot more, to nuke mobs rather than single enemies. It worked well, I felt like I was useful. I have a big issue with feeling like i'm not doing much but this run was different, I genuinely felt I was doing the work.
