Taking more damage against the same old mobs when I level up

[Maker]

<div>Anyone else notice that as soon as you level up you start to take more damage against the same mobs you were JUST fighting?  It seems that since I am no longer maxed in my defense stats as I was a moment before, the game penalizes me even against mobs that should now find it harder to hit me.  This has happened on many of my levels as a monk, and my Fury healer has noted it makes it a lot harder to keep me alive after I level up.  Am I the only one encountering this?  If not, anyone know a workaround, or if the devs are addressing it?</div>

<div></div>I have never encountered this behavior... sounds strange. /shrug

<div></div>Just to be certain, it's got nothing to do with you changing which stance you're in... The level is the only change?

One thing I have noticed is when I level I lose avoidance. I'm guessing cause my AGI is no longer near it's max. I'm not 100% sure why it happens but I'm guessing that could be why you are getting hit more when you level.<div></div>

<div></div>You aren't losing avoidance. It is changing the view of your avoidance to show what it is against mobs of the higher level. Your avoidance against the same mobs you were just fighting should be higher, but you just cant see that percentage anywhere.

<div></div>Nope, not changing stances or gear.  Everything, including the mobs are the same as before I leveled, but they just seem to hit more more often.  All of my gear is up to date, and some legendary, so its not greying out on me.  For the life of me can't figure out why this keeps happening.

lack of skill-ups after leveling up perhaps?<div></div>
