Is It Just Me Or?

is the daedric harvester soo Overpowered like really those damage/heal orbs they have I'm like wth I want one tho I know I cnat but they are so OP like they could fight you all day with those heals

RAGUNAnoOne

I hate it more than anything in the game if those (insert explicit word here) get into a corner, 2 or 3 of the orbs will spawn right on top of them for an instant like 40-60% heal that no one can do anything to stop! it should be if you can break free there should be no feast spawning or at least make them spawn somewhere else if they are in a corner or something!

Volkodav

Yeah,I kinda agree they're OP.I have found that if you use a bow and circle them,while all the time shooting them,eventually they'll die.Just dont let them hit you too much.Run fast around them. :}

Alucardo

Yeah, you just 1 shot the orbs, run behind the Harvester and she's pretty defenceless at that point..

ya I do that I'm just pointing out that their op like zos stop nerfing us and focus on some of the monsters

OrphanHelgen

I assume you are on the main quest or something?
I remember myself I was struggling really much with those. ESO are not good on tooltip and information, and its hard as a new player to know how to do dmg.
One tip tho is to kill the orbs before they hit the harvester, it heals you instead.

phairdon

Yeah, they are. Found another over powered enemy in Malabal Tor yesterday. The said enemy continually healed, took between 5-10 minutes to kill because of their healing ability.

Ruben

Destroy the orbs and they will heal you. Cancel the attacks you can (the ones with red lines). It's not that hard when you do those two things

Alucardo

How about them red rook traps though

You can have one; if you just leave the orbs they will heal her, but if you pop the orbs they heal you. I like to stand in melee range so I can bash her as soon as I see red sparks. Also expect her to pick you up within the first few seconds of the fight and be ready to break free. Harvesters are just a dps race really with some predicable mechanics.

You are drunk, stop troll post threads on a saturday night

How do people find the harvesters hard? I've never really had any difficulty with them and I've fought tons of them. ESO will end up being ridiculously easy if all these nerf threads get heard.

I don't think this is a serious thread, for what it's worth. Sounds like a drunk thread, as OrphanHelgen suggested No one really thinks Harvesters are hard. Right???

I'm glad that there are a few monster types in this game that are a little, as you put it, "Overpowered", else the game would be far less interesting. I like it when something has a bit of a challenge or requires a different approach because it means you might actually have to pay attention!

I hope they add harder and more varied individual monster types. I want to get rekt by surprise occasionally, that'll teach me to underestimate A.I!

They have always been my least favourite mob, tricky until you learn the mechanics. Pre-nerf doshia was my first encounter with one. They are more tricky if you have to fight one in an enclosed space as you get less time to kill the orbs. I find them easy now.

This x 1000. I wish more areas on the normal map were scaled a bit more like public dungeons and offered more challenge in regard to enemy power and resourcefulness. It would make the game world feel more alive. As it is, unless it's a world boss, most of the map is a faceroll.

I can see that. I guess I just sort of assume that everyone playing is so familiar with the normal content of the game that things like Harvesters are speedbumps... but I remember my first time encountering one: Since they are just "normal" mobs, I was cruising along killing enemies and approached it as a normal encounter. Not knowing what was happening I died pretty quickly. I do wish there were more enemies like that in ESO, though

Doshia. April 2014. I almost quit.

Seriously, I am almost traumatized when I see a harvester now.. But with a deep breath and some range skills I defeat them (almost) every time.

Seriously, they are a pain, but keep trying new things and you'll find a tactic that works well for you.

Same I still don't like it when I come across them, (maybe It's some sort of trauma from when I first came across them), but they're just difficult not impossible. Just like Dremora, (and how difficult are they when you first meet them), once you've worked out the strategy they're not so hard. As others have said destroying the balls heals you, just the same as running behind the Dremora as it's about to breath fire give you a bunch of free attacks as it is immobilized whilst breathing fire.
Sometimes It's about using your head and trying different tactics, not just upgrading weapons, and using the most powerful attacks in a head to head. I want the game to be hard enough that I feel I've achieved something at the end of it. If I just wanted to experience a fantasy story I'd watch Lord of the Rings or something. I know when I get to the end of this story I'll have a better feeling of contentment afterwards.

@tinythinker Original Doshia was awesome! It really annoyed me when they nerfed her.

@tinythinker Original Doshia was awesome! It really annoyed me when they nerfed her.

In addition I also miss early Balreth, when people would ask in zone for partners for that fight. ESO is my first MMO (other than earning beginner levels in some free to play games while waiting to get into the ESO beta). I started as a DK when they were considered god-like and still got drilled by everything because I was new to the game. So I am not a hot shot or pro-MMO player. Even with my improvement since then, if I had a stream, it would be so people could laugh and feel better about themselves. Still, I did like early Norion, Balreth, Doshia, etc.

I tried characters from different alliances in late beta to get a better feel for the game and tried the Norion fight with a Templar (again, clueless how to play the class at that time) and I had to call it after about 30 retries. Came so close, like to 1%, a couple of times. I also recall the fits people had with the Lyris doppleganger in the Halls of Torment, and that was when main quest instances didn't scale and you could over-level. But I know that they have to have a certain rate of fails/average number of fails for big fights among the population at large or, like MissBizz when she was new to the game, they may be tempted to quit.

I think it's hard for players who've been around a while to recall how hard some content (like Harvesters) can be for brand new (to ESO and especially to MMOs) players, even after being nerfed from previous versions. And now, with all new content being DLC, how doe a ZOS-decision maker justify creating an original zone that raises the bar to give something to more seasoned players? If it can't sell X copies, it doesn't recoup the investment in design, creating, testing, etc.

Oh well, way off topic

The first harvester encountered in the game got nerfed into the ground because people were complaining it was too hard. It was the one in the fighter's guild quest. Since then, they have been increasing in difficulty but are no where near as hard to defeat as that first one used to be.
