As far as the other comments here they are pretty on the dot. You are a Hybrid class which is at minimum -40% experience penalty. It is hard mode.

Actually, the hybrid penalty is not the issue here. We're about to go into Velious in a couple of weeks, which eliminates the hybrid penalties. The other thing it does is removes grouped racial penalties; right now, your SK will slow the entire group's exp-gain by giving you a bigger chunk (168% of a human cleric's share) of the pie, but in early August, that goes away and every race with a racial penalty will fall behind their group-mates. Current grouping rules are designed to keep every group-member levelling at the same speed if they are at the same level, but Velious rules give everyone an equal share of the experience without taking penalties into account. That means your Troll SK will need to kill 6 mobs for every 5 that a Teir'Dal or Human would.
Unless your brother is an Iksar or Troll, expect to find yourself either levelling slower or logging in to solo for a while just to keep up. Even an Ogre will start to pull away in terms of level, albeit not as much. You were level 9, so I'm thinking you should be a low enough level to re-roll without losing too much effort and that would be my suggestion.
