Has the world boss fight at Soulfire Plateau (Auridon) changed in a recent patch?

I feel a bit daft for asking this, but I suffer from a bit of alt-itis, and have got through this fight with a few different characters now.

Since recent patches, on my newest AD character it seems really far more difficult than it used to be. I have cleared all the other world bosses in Auridon, but cannot seem to damage the necromancers here, Last time I tried this encounter (which is lvl 7) there were 3 of us there, 1 lvl 17, 1 lvl 13, and 1 lvl 10 (and 3 people overlevelled to that extent ought to be able to walk it really) - and we wiped without making a dent in any of the necromancers' health bars.

As I have done it on other characters I know how it is supposed to go, just wondered what had happened recently to this encounter, and has anyone else had a problem? I would accept "you're doing it wrong" as a response except I have done it several times now and just on this last character who is now lvl 18 I have tried several times over the last few days, but don't appear to be able to damage them at all so starting to wonder if I should report it as a bug.

    I noticed the same thing happening. Went to try and clear them with a higher level character that never got the achievement and total wipe, but I do remember soloing it one time before on a different character. Seems like either a bug or they really increased the health and damage on these guys. Really absurd for level 7?

    Thanks for the replies, at least I know it is not down to me just suddenly being useless at combat! I have done some of the other boss encounters in that zone solo at this point and just thought it was odd that a group could not even touch that low level one, especially given that I had done it on other characters a couple of weeks back with no problem!

    Thanks for all the replies, it is at least something to know that it's not just me having a problem. I will try it again (I'm now over level 30), if I still have issues I will /bug it again in game.

    It's just annoying to see that one portion of the map that is not done , even though I am now in Greenshade, I'm a bit of a completionist and this one uncleared world boss is nagging at me.

    People demanded more difficulty and ZOS listened?

    Think this has been always one of the toughest world bosses there is.

    I was able to complete this maybe a month ago after wiping a couple of times due to what you describe. The way I completed was to take out the healer boss first; I could be wrong, but I believe it was Eramon. I'm NB, so I was able to sneak in and stun-lock her.
