You probably are.
Commuting in the rain in Seattle, I can tell you how it can affect the brakes. I had to replace my V-brake pads within 600 miles. I probably rode them quite a bit on descents as I'm a newbie, and I do have a few steep downhills on my commute routes. I'd still imagine having better luck with disc brakes.
