Difficulty is about right in my book. Having problems, that's what friends are for, good luck.

Their big damage casts are interruptible AND can stun them so you open up increased damage.

What class / spec are you?

Scamps hurt, bash them anytime you see them flashing red lights, or move if it is a ground target ability. Standing in fire hurts in real life too...

trick number one to dealing with any daedra is the skill Silver Bolts from the Fighters Guild tree. It's the first skill available, take it, slot it, profit from it.

I know the pull you are talking about and it sucks if you're not well set up to handle caster pulls. You want to interrupt big casts unless they are doing their channeled ring on the ground thing. With that, let them cast away and use the time to chew one of them up.

What level are you?

Well... You're doing it wrong.

CC in all forms is king in this game. If you are faced with 3 hairy little scamps, try to reduce their strength in the initial attack by taking away 1 of them. Nightblades for example got an awesome 12s stun, Templars can spear throw one back. Once you do that, debuff the other two and focus on one of them. If they do power attacks, disrupt them. If they are stunned, power attack them.

I did Doshia the last thing before quitting for the evening (and obviously coming here to brag about it), the 3 scamps didnt even bring me below 90% HP. No silver bolts either. Doshia herself isnt a threat, it was just annoying because I had little in the form of AoE so she healed up a couple of times before I got her.

Sadly this encounter is still solo only. No friends allowed. And if you think the scamps are painful, just wait until you meet Dorshia. That encounter is one I highly recommend you out level before trying. Level 12 might be about right.

However, since you are asking about the scamps, there has been a lot of great advise here, but I'll add these suggestions:

1. Tab target one scamp at range, and start your fight at max distance. Open with your biggest attack. Focus down one scamp at a time. If you can kill even one, then you still win even if you die, because you'll only have two to fight when you get back.
2. After one is dead, focus on #2.

As a cloth wearing Templar, I tried that quest at level 8. I think I killed two scamps my first attempt, died, then ran back and killed the last. It wasn't pretty, but it got the job done.

As others have said, and you probably already know, be ready to doge the aoe rain of fire they cast as well as the elemental attacks that slide along the ground towards you.

I do agree that this encounter in particular feels a bit too difficult for the stated level (it is still listed as level 8, isn't it?), but it is doable with enough persistence. Believe it or not, they have even toned it down a bit. It was much harder when I first attempted it in beta.

I think it would help with answers if we knew what class, weapon, skills u have. 2 or 3 scamps is tough, even when u're the same level-u have to experiment w/diff techniques to try to slow down or get rid of the others while u're actively dealing with one. Look at what u have for skills that can help interrupting casters and for aoe. Imps don't really move so snares, etc don't really help. From what I remember they do die rather quickly w/ melee attacks and the fighters guild skills really do help w/any daedra situation-they do a lot of damage. Like Mulk said, Silver Bolts is really great.
And like everyone else said u have to move and dodge.

Damage dealing Ultimates really help w/Doshia too-lots of DPS in a short period of time before u accidently let another bubble get past u. Take a deep breath and remember that the bubbles will heal u too. Worse come to worse the fight will just start over again; she's healed up, u're healed up-okay, start again.

Thanks you guys! I didn't expect so many replies! When I tried Doshia's lair I was a heavy armor sword and shield wielding Templar.(lvl. 6)

Also, if you kill the bubbles you get the health....

I use to paralize one monster(scamp) of a pack and kill another.

The most important part of Doshia is popping the bubbles. You need the heals to get through it on level.

The problem is, at least in the Ebonheart version, the bubbles spawn on TOP of her. Everytime.

One bubble heals ALL the damage I do to her. I have no trouble getting past the scamps, and I don't get injured fighting her at all. But I can't get the bubbles before they are on TOP of her in 2 seconds.

The environment to fight her is cramped, full of boxes and places to get stuck on. It is NOT a fun fight. It is frustrating as heck.

And yes, it is a solo fight.

Of 4 of us I was the only one at 8th that was able to do this one.
Templar with the Spear Morphed into the one that hits multi helped a lot.
Heals were good as well, and used a couple of healing potions.

Rough fight, but survived.

Was the first content that was really a challenge, as we were in a 4 person party we were bummed that we had to solo, as everything else we did was group allowed to that point.

Game is too easy already.

Too many people joining who are used to mindlessly following a glittering trail to point 'N' and killing enemy 'Y' to collect item 'Z' without even thinking about optimizing their gear or using tactics.

Have you even crafted new equipment, and a weapon? Have you used food to buff your stats and put potions in your quickslots? Are you using your skills in a sensible order?
