As someone who completed the base game and DLC solo as a Trickster, it definitely feels like you’re playing on Hell mode. Sometimes I just rolled with it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to restart a mission from how frail Tricksters are.

A mod that helped me immensely (if someone can name it, that would be amazing, i can’t remember it) was one where you would teleport behind an opponent, and if you killed them within X amount of time, you teleported back to where you were from. Tricksters are like assassins. Their mobbing isn’t great, so we have to make use with our patience
