I thought it was all good there for a while on 1.2 Dragons flying right, and it didn't seem like I was having any major resistance issues. As I've played along though I have found myself getting 3-shot by mages and dragons.
A nord in legendary glass..armor rating over 500.. getting 3-shot by a frost breath from a dragon.
Not a lot of fun at times but it does add some interesting challenges. Taught my cocky little assassin a thing or two about caution and the expeditious use of sprint
