Probably because you didn't ask as nicely as you say you have here. Besides, regardless of his light level he's still be dying a lot. At the level he was at he's fine for hm. The only thing it affects is the damage he deals, not so much survivability. If he's unfamiliar with hm, that's probably more a reason for him dying a lot, not his light level. Besides everone knows hm is the best way to get past 310 light level lol.
