I've given up trying to solo this quest, and will return (someday, maybe) with 2-3 guild mates to finish the job.
I must say that this is the most disappointing quest I've encountered in this game.

use /whisper @Nestor (I think this is the syntax for that, I don't have much luck initiating a whisper unless the player is standing right next to me)
or send me an email to @Nestor

But why is bashing not an option? Every build, weapon type and class can interrupt with bash, but you need to stand in mele range when you do it. That shouldn't be a problem for a magicka DK, I mean 90% of your magicka class skills are mele. There's no dmg penalty for fighting a boss in mele range either, unless you're a pure bow user.
You only need to bash this boss 1-3 times, while dps'ing, than it's dead. I dont get why people have such problems using a basic ability. But fair enough, I guess if it's some kind of mage or archer archetype thing where standing in mele range ruins immersion, than I understand somewhat .

I am on the North American Server, so if you play on the Euro server, then this wont' work. Bummer.

If that's happening then it means that you're not getting the timing right on the bash. That could either be because you're reacting too slowly (possible if you don't use bash to interrupt much), or because you had some lag going on. Either way, hopefully you managed to group up with @Nestor and get this doneOldGuyzRewl wrote: »I don't need to use "bash" much, so perhaps I am missing something. Left+Right mouse button, right? Doesn't matter if you are using destro stave, correct? Well, tried this multiple times up close and personal, with no significant effect on Cassia. She just goes right on healing herself and kills you almost instantly.

Get up close and bash her to interrupt. That's pretty much the only way to stop her from healing up to full. If you're quick with your reactions and bash at the right time, it's really easy to kill her... As long as you're not suffering from any lag. If you're lagging even a bit, this fight can be virtually impossible solo.
Blast! I'd offer to help myself, but I don't have an EP character who can get to Gold yet either. I've killed Cassio Varo multiple times in non-vet for AD characters, and also in the Silver zones for DC, but I haven't gotten there with any EP characters yet.If that's happening then it means that you're not getting the timing right on the bash.

Heh, my EP Templar is VR6, so I assumed she could get to Gold instances of AD. She had been parked for more than a month. Well, she is still on the third zone of DC. I am leveling way fast.

Definitely, but frankly I steamrolled the Silver version of Cassio Varo way easier than I did the non-vet version (the fight was over so fast I was shocked), so I don't think it's likely that the Gold one is that much harder. For me it really and truly just came down to getting the timing on the bash right, which required me to not have any lag

I have also noticed that some Bosses are just downright nastier in Gold or Silver than they were in Leveling instances
