If you got to stage 4 with little problems then you are doing pretty good for a first try. Especially if your signature is correct and you are only CP 440.

stam classes will always have a harder time in vMA compare to magicka classes due to health sustaining issues, and your high ping will make it even harder for later stages which are more unforgiving. If you think stage 4 is hard wait till you see stage 5 that would make you wanna rage quit the game(esp if not using sigils)

Ever played stamsorc?? Stamsorc and magsorc are without competition the easiest classes to do vma with (can´t speak for magblade but I´ve a feeling they are doing very good in vma as well).
Veteran Maelstrom arena is "scaled" as if you hade 300 CP. So in OP´s case I don´t Think CP´s the problem. I completed vma with 287 CP my first time but boi did I spend many Days in there.....
As for you thread (I assume that you wipe to the meteor thing that the last boss in Seht´s Flyingwheel are shooting at you, correct med if I´m wrong). In the first phase you can stand directly under the boss (when there´s a Little green circle under him/her, whatever gender a dwemer robot has xD). When the green circle dissapears there´re 3 options for you:
* If you stand to Close to the boss you´ll take damage form the flames that comes out under it,
* if you go to far away from the boss you´ll get mortars/meteors thrown at you
* There´s a way you can avoid the firedmg under the boss, and a way to prevent the mortars from being shooted at you. Try to stand as Close to the boss as possible, but not so Close so you take dmg from the fire comming out under the boss. If standing at an appropriate distance you should be able to avoid damage from the boss. This takes some practice though

It really does get a lot easier in time. My first attempt was with my only character at the time which was a stamblade. I too gave up on stage 5. I was told that magsorc was the easiest so i levelled up a magsorc and spent a good 2 weeks in thre before i completed it. Now it takes me around 50 mintes to complete, further more i went back on my stamblade and completed it with tbs and spriggans but it took me a good 2 hours. Its all about learning where everything spawns, in my opinion stage 5 is the hardest at first but in time stage 7 will become the stage you loathe. I'm now a flawless conqueror on my magsorc with all sharpebed weapons. Im just a normal gamer like you, at first i put it down to bieng too old to be able to complete end game content. Persistance is key. P.s i was cp430 when i first cleared VMA
