Is it just dumb luck?

Going with my second Temporal Warden in Nightmare. She has cruised through the game, all tier 1 and 2 dungeons done without a death or even a close call really. After she made it to the shared stash she really took off as my other TW whose file is bugged out donated all her useful items.
Now she had a hell of a time! First death was in starter dungeon to a rare spider who one shotted her with Slash. Next death to a rare Rogue in Kor PUl who 2 shot her. Another to Weirdling beast. And the worst of all, a Caldera FULL of acid wyrms all taking turns spewing their breath at her at enormous range. Another bad death in a fearscape portal she entered where she was winning vs level 90 demons but one Elite champion of UrRok removed her sustains and she got surrounded. The most frustrating one was vs Gorbat Pride leader who had a prodigy that gave me a 33% chance to fail every spell cast and he sumoned multi hued drakes who kept breathing at me. One failed shield cast and I got nuked. She was down to zero lives left when her save got messed up and she couldn't progress.
So I was really timid with this new character expecting to get wrecked at every corner. Much to my surprise it just never happened. It's been too easy. I go up against Zigur and Aventurer parties to test her and they all get crushed. Borfast in Dreadfel didn't even manage to hit me once. I wish I'd started in Insane.
Seems like a huge discrepancy... but it's just dumb luck?
