I have 7k health and I got hit by the end boss guy for 3k =(. My damage also seems to be insanely low on these guys. I don't know if it's because I'm used to playing my archer now (whos damage is crazy) or if they just have higher armor in the minotaur place.
Mino nest monsters have loads and loads of HP. And whatever you do, you do not want to be hit by that axe attack, it can crit you for as high as 9k. If you're really unlucky, he'll use it on you after that stun stomp.
Save your Enerving Roar or whatever it was called for when the boss buffs himself. Especially the buff he uses when he only has like 2 or less bars of health left (in which he roars for like 5 seconds). The skill is able to dispel that buff, and as far as I know, it's the only skill in the game capable of dispelling boss buffs. Party members tend to die very quickly after he uses that buff, because not only does that make his attack power skyrocket, but it also increases his moving and attacking speed.
7k HP is really low for a Mercenary. My merc has 16k HP and 7.5k MP. Try getting level 23/24 +8 enhanced armor or something, hopefully with +6.50% HP or MP potentials. I would guess that the 23 armor are pretty cheap nowadays, like less than 15 gold. The 24 armor will likely cost more, but they are far more likely to have +% HP or MP potentials on them. Or at least they were in Velskud last time I checked. You can also try to get Life-giving/Health enhancement crests, but those tend to be quite costly (at least 100+ gold for a quality version, and you're going to be looking for one that you can actually use at your current level).
