What happened to Doshia?

Why is Doshia so weak now? I just resubbed to try out One Tamriel and started a new toon. I got to one of my favorite fights- Doshia- and killed it in 3 secs in a mixture of green and white underleveled gear. When I first played Doshia at launch the fight was epic, it took me about five or so tries to beat her. This time I killed her so quick she only fired off one skill ???

    Doshia's been weak since like Patch 1.5. Maybe even before.

    Wow, that's amazing. I had heard she had been nerfed but she is weaker than the imps outside now. Are you sure its not something to do with the scaling in One Tamriel?

    Not the scaling. Doshia has been a few hit boss for a very long time. She wasn't to difficult if you burst the orbs originally, now you're not even likely to see any orbs before she dies. Extremely tuned down to the point of disappointment.

    I remember the biggest complaints was coming from EP. She was in a much tighter space to fight for the EP players and it made fighting her difficult for certain classes (Nightblades back when they were absolutely broken).

    I have only fought her once, recently, but as I recall, it is considered a marginal failure if she is alive long enough to actually transform. There seems to be no chance to fail, so one has to have some other goal in the battle. Maybe One Tamriel changes that, now? Maybe she actually gets to transform before she dies? Or maybe they moved the transformation up so that she always gets to?

    Yeah...I remember Doshia and Gutstripper back in the beta/launch days...they were a significant and gratifying challenge in the low levels. I remember thinking right after I killed Doshia "HOLY CRAP! Now THIS is awesome!"

    Now it is wrechedly hand-holdy for new players in the bad ways. I don't mind having a good progression of difficulty as you level to actively TEACH new players, but right now the game allows them to progress by spamming bow light attacks and using no skills, interupts, blocks, or bashes. Then they wander into vaguely challenging content and cry about it being too hard. And I don't blame them. The difficulty disparity in this game is ridiculous, and as much as I like the changes in 1T, it just made it worse for new players who haven't been provided the proper training and tools by the game.

    Doshia beta/launch was scary. I felt a sense of accomplishment when I finally won that fight. Now I worry more about trash mobs than her. I guess too many people complained.

    Yeah, it's trendy to pretend she wasn't OTT at release, but let's not kid ourselves in our rush to look like badasses.

    Doshia was nerfed around November December 2013 in closed beta.

    I don't recall any difficulties at launch.....but OMG October 2013 and prior....it was a battle. The game was a lot more interesting for normal content back then. I miss it

    Still happening...
    She was nerfed. As she should have been.

    She was harder at launch, but still killable. I had no trouble with my first DK or my Sorcerer, but both fights were pretty intense. The third time through, with a NB that had trouble dealing with the orbs, it was a steep challenge. Since that third time through, I have felt like Neo fighting the Agents. Only part of my attention is needed.

    Now, part of that is my characters getting better, and I will admit that CP resulted in a virtual nerf across the board. I just did her with One Tamriel, with a sorcerer and CP, and she was still too easy to kill. I have no non-CP characters primed for this battle, so I cannot compare.

    At this point, I am not as much about Doshia being too easy as I am Doshia being the wrong opponent at that point of the FG quest line.

    This is why we can't have nice things.
    She was a challenge, not impossible. Now I run into overland trash mobs that are tougher. I can't remember the last time she even lived long enough to transform fully. It isn't about being badass, it's about having more of a challenge than a huge "I Win!" Button.
