Is it just me, or is Shadow Caves more difficult than Nuri's Hallow?

I understand that Before the lvl 61 level cap the difficulty would be real high so that you would be stuck trying to beat the levels, Therefore, making you play the game longer. But the difficulty of Shadow Caves makes Balefort Sewers seem like AO1.

Now that there is a new level cap though, I think that the difficulty of the mobs should be lowered way down. Me and a group of level 56's and up had more of a hard time beating the first lvl of Shadow Caves than we did on the last level of Nuri's Hallow.

With that being said, if anyone has any comments or questions feel free to leave a comment.
