This may have been a 'one-off' because "Ogres are tough" but I think I've spotted the problem.

Your foes have both good defenses and are mountains of meat/DR. This is usually not something put together... but then I don't know what your GM was intending. Was this a Boss Fight?

And it might be not so bad when fighting 'lesser' foes like goblins, orcs, other humans.



But like Bruno said, trying moving around. If you can attack from the side or rear you can reduce their defenses or even make them unable to defend (try looking up "run around attack" and "attack from the rear").

Also try double or triple teaming one foe, if you take one guy out fast(er), then you can continue doing the same on the next and so on, instead of spreading the damage around and doing it slowly.
