Fighters Guild, First Boss lady impossible to kill solo.

jeffrelliott_ESO · April 2014

I tried and failed at this more than a few times as a level 6(?) nightblade. Went back last night at level 10 with knowledge about the orbs and it was still quite challenging but entirely possible.

The key for me was to slowly circle her during the fight and use Lotus Fan for help with the orbs. I could usually get two of them that way and then the other ones manually. Siphoning helps too, and it seems that the only attack I couldn't avoid while circling was the grabbing one, luckily it didn't do a lot of damage. That being said it still took me 3-4 times to beat her.

I am tempted to create a new character and make a video on how to do this..

What is THE weakest class/weapon combo? Actually what do you all percieve to be the weakest?

Doshia is soloable easily if you figure out what you need to do in order to prevent her from healing herself, plus dodge and interrupt. I had a hard time killing her at first 3-4 tries. Then I realized that you need to take out those bubbles moving towards her. If you manage to destroy them before they reach Doshia, she will go down like nothing.

As a weak sorcerer, I tried to kill her when I was level 8 with level 8 equipment, as the quest recommends. I couldn't. I came back to kill here when I was level 13. So satisfying...

Someone who doesn't dodge or block.

LOL! Well, hopefully it will help those having trouble.

I honestly think trials like Doshia are there in place to force people to 'reconsider' HOW 2 PLAY the game.

Oddly, on my sorc I finished off Doshia before she turned all snake-like (and yes, I was level 8... I have no idea how I did it). When I came around to try it on my dragonknight, I was like 0.0 when she changed, because she *didn't* change the first time through. Took a while, but I finally got the pattern of killing those feast balls and killing her.

The hardest run was when I was trying to get my wife's character through. She doesn't like the solo quests AT ALL, so I run them for her. She's a pure heal Templar. We waited until she was level 18 to do the quest, and it was still a chore. All she had was the restoration staff attack.... painful.

I do love the new challenges this game has presented, but those feast balls are hard to target sometimes. And pure melee characters really have troubles catching them all before they get to her.

They are, and sadly people don't.
It is much easier to cry "nerf" then to sit down 5 seconds and think about what exactly went wrong.
Not to mention that even if they tried, most people are way to dug in in their belief that they are infallible, and therefore it must be something wrong with the game instead of themselves or their playstyle.

It seems that the Soul Eaters are a bit overpowered or bugged because whenever it does the move where a bunch ghosts are sent towards you I dodge it but then it rubber-bands me back in and those fights are just confusing and long if they could be knocked down (excluding petrify) then it would be a lot more balanced I mean come on I had brand new gear for level 42 and a level 30 soul eater dominated me

rrb167b14_ESO · June 2014

Yeah, there's a lot of these solo encounters that are quite challenging. When I run into trouble, I just research it and then just come back to it after gaining a few levels. I still haven't returned to the final fight inside the Wyrd Tree though ... LOL.

What does "PITA" stand for? I assume it doesn't mean a flat bread pocket.

PITA = Pain In The Ass

One reason Doisha pain is that lots of things are just plain broken in the game (skills not firing), lag, broken passives, etc ... and this causes a lot of problems especially if you are squishy anyway and dont have a reliable way to getting the spheres with an AoE. The other issues is that 2 of the 3 zone have no manaver room so if you are dependent on dodging that causes serious issues for some as well.

Wrong. Check the thread date. Doshia has since been nerfed so badly, she'll die if you simply look at her.

Find a relevant thread to hijack with your complaints.

SO many necroed threads at the moment, are people that bored?

And yes, Doshia now doesn't even transition to a Harvester if you're quick to kill her now .. or get lucky like I did on one character over the weekend and one-shot her with Silver Bullets (and no, not the post-patch bugged version).

I was thinking the same, even in Beta Doshia was easy enough when you knew what you were doing.
During beta I fought her once and died, I asked in my guild if anyone had had problems with her, someone replied and mentioned the healing orbs. It's been an easy fight along with all this type of target ever since. People that struggle with this now really need to L2P, and I really hate to say so.

I seriously dispute on-level Harvester fights are 'easy' even if you know how they work.
