This is most often a result of not utilizing a character's particular buffs I think. Aran is probably the worst of the worst, if you don't use their one buff that steals back HP with every hit you have effectively zero survivability. It also depends on your level though and whether you're trying to grind on mobs that are too strong for you. There's a common misconception I've found with a lot of Maplestory players where they think "bigger is better" or rather "higher level is better", but leveling is actually often FASTER on lower level mobs that can be wiped out quicker.
If you channel flip for example on scorpions and find a batch that's respawning like crazy (usually due to a Kanna being there at some point) then you can easily grind from level 70 to level 100 in just 3 to 4 hours with most characters.
That ~does~ presume of course that you have at least some measure of knowledge as far as using spell traces and maxing out stars. You don't need the best equips in the world, but at a minimum you should try and get at least 3% of your main stat in potentials on each one, then use 70% spell traces and max out the stars and you'll be nigh unstoppable (provided you aren't killing mobs way out of your level range).
Making use of character cards is important too, like I think my Dawn Warrior's character card has some kinda crazy 6% defense thing. At one point I turned it off thinking it wasn't that important... turns out it really ~was~ that important and I had to turn it right back on.
