Having trouble with big packs as melee. pls help

Hi all

i'm quite new to POE. So far ive got a level 32 Shadow (Archer) - hardcore, ive got there with no problems at all. I've literally not come close to death. I just find it a bit boring.

So i decided to roll a Marauder - i wanted to go 2h and get into the thick of it. Anyway, i get to temple of sin and there are rooms with lots of skeletal mages. they literally insta gib me.

What tips do you have for me? as melee i kinda need to get stuck in. but it just seems melee get shafted. With my shadow i can shoot from miles away, they option isnt open to me as a melee.

pls helkp

Not sure what your build is, but my melee marauder focuses on life over everything else, with "life gain on hit" tied to "sweep", which helps with large packs.

There are still some tough rooms for me, so what I do is run and try to lure a few mobs away from the pack so that I can one or two at a time. It beats eating 8 fireballs at once.
