Hum...as a guild quest it is not a solo instanced dungeon so theoretically you should be able to group up and bring help. It's possible that group members won't be on the same layer if they've completed this quest...if that's the case, you have to find someone to quest with who also needs to complete it.

Overall she isn't too hard, but she's designed for a player who has access to their whole class/weapon skills lines. There are so many skills that open at level 38/42...that might be what's keeping you from ganking her. With my NB, I'd suprisemattack, ambush, killer blade, piercing mark and shrouded dagger the attack bar, then on the retreat rally, vigor, siphon attack,,darkmcloak, the 2h execute. I'd smack her a bit, then back off w dark cloak a bit, then smack. But she's hard, even with champion points.

You really just need to have some mid-fight heals available. She hits hard, so you need to be able to absorb that damage and hit back just as hard. I seem to recall most of my fight involved me running backwards, frantically spamming flurry, so... do that I guess? Get food and potions, and don't bother trying to CC her, because she seems to shrug everything right off. Pull out your nastiest tricks, and make sure you have a good Ultimate ready to pop (I had the Dual Wield Ultimate... massive DoT plus healing over time... very helpful in this fight).
