Dont Nerf her, I'm so mad now after dying at least 8 times at lvl 8 and another 8 last night at lvl 9. Its a challenge and would feel kind of cheated if she gets nerfed now I'm playing a lvl 9 Redguard Nightblade. I have some pretty decent DPS. I hit her initially with Teleport Strike and use flurry for Dual wield etc. but I cant seem to hit the healer globes fast enough. This is my first foray into Online gaming since DAOC so a little rusty. Very excited about this game played all the Elder Scrolls from Arena until now.

Quit trying to min/max as a healer and build something viable. I never had a problem with her as a sword & board tank type class. What I did was save up my stamina while attacking her regularly (LClick) and when orbs spawned, go apeshit with my stamina-based skills and two-shotted each orb. Git gud, brah.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. We're checking it out on our end. She is supposed to be difficult, but not to the point of frustration. Also, please be sure to keep discussion civil and on-topic. We just want you beating Doshira, not each other.

Please, DO NOT NERF these sorts of encounters. This would make an already very easy game unbelievably so. This person has taken valid critique from other members of the forum and basically said they want to beat the mob with a full bar of heal spells.

I'm sorry, but if they don't want to take 1 or 2 DPS abilities then that is their issue, no one elses. If you pander to individuals like this you're going to destroy the game for the majority (i.e. ridiculously easy = not fun).

And to the OP, no one ever said you had to make a DPS spec. You can easily get just one or two DPS abilities for special occasions like this, an AoE ability is great. That isn't a DPS spec, that's adding versatility to your healing spec. I killed this mob below level as a healer heavy Templar in beta by just using the first attack in the aedric spear class line.

As another poster said, you're not going to be a pure healer in dungeons either, you're going to be getting mana back by heavy attacking mobs with your resto staff, so you're already having to DPS mobs.

I wholeheartedly agree. Give me a challenge ffs.

I still think people who cannot take down harvesters should be allowed to group. I have poor eye-hand co-ordination and harvesters have, so far, been impossible for me. There is a group of people who just cannot handle this one.

Keep practicing and/or trying and/or leveling up

You can certainly play as you like and play a healer only, at least you can try. But you can't expect to do that AND solo mobs who need dps.

So your obvious solution is group with someone. Or get more damage into your rotation. Or stand and fume.

It's simply not reasonable to expect to be able to heal the monsters to death.

I did it just fine as a templar with a resto staff...

I did have one damaging skill though from Dawn's Wrath, cause leveling without damaging abilities is kinda dumb.

I beat her as a healing nightblade, just had to have enough mana to hit each orb with strife. If you are a templar I suggest snagging Sun fire, honestly it is just quality of life to have a damage spell. And try to always have enough mana to cast it four times. It took me a long time as a healer cause sometimes the orbs glitching and would heal her, but having a restostaff and heals made me able to just stay alive long enough to widdle her down.

Please for the sake of all that is right and good and decent don't start dumbing down and over simplifying this game already.

I understand there are some complaints here but lets be honest, how many complaints were ignored during PTS that had a ton more feedback? I'm asking out of sincere concern for the state of this game...rather I'm begging that ESO doesn't capitulate to every vocal complainer just because they're 'louder' than the satisfied.

Took the words right outta my mouth. It is kinda fun seeing people that thought they were good at MMO's whining like this over something they can fix themselves.

Templars are not just healers. They are Templars in the purest sense. DPS Battle Healers. Trying to be a pure anything in an Elder Scrolls game is hilarious.

Definitely agree. This is not WOW, where you pick a spec for your character, and you follow the rotation Blizzard laid down for you to perform your role. There are no "healing" or "tank" classes in ESO. It's not QUITE like GW2 where there are no roles at all and everything is just a free for all...there is SOME room for specialization, but in groups you are going to be expected to pull your weight, not just sit back and cast heals when people need it and do nothing else.

I don't want them dumbing down this game the way WOW was dumbed down because people are lazy. You get a LOT of skill points in this game, FAR more than you can put into only healing skills. Even as a healer, if you're doing group content, and noone needs healing at that point in time, you're going to be expected to grab a destruction staff or 2-hander and help DPS. Or grab a 1H and shield and help the tank out if it gets difficult. It's the way this game is.

With the attitude of "I will only heal and not do anything else", you will last about 30 seconds in a group before you are kicked.

The orbs literally take 1 hit. 1 single hit with a resto staff light attack.

There are several different times throughout the game you will see this type of mob. Doshia is the weakest one there is.

Are you a Templar and do you have any of the dps class skills unlocked?

Templar yes but I am heals only no DPS skills. I want to play as a healer. The game should not hinder this. It should compliment my choices.

I argued hard for this during beta, but was generally shouted down by the solo-only-instance players.

Edit: To clarify, I'd argued against solo-only instancing.

IMO I'm not opposed to adding the ability to have a group help you but pleease do not dumb this boss down. She is challenging, as she should be.

If Zenimax wants my sub, they need to eliminate all -- and I mean *all* -- solo phases, and permit groups instead.

If Zenimax doesn't want my sub, then they can keep the solo phases.

I will not pay a sub to fight bosses solo. I already have Skyrim for that. The only reason I would pay a sub is to play content with other people. I'm not going to pay a sub to play the easier content with a group, and then be required to solo the harder content. That is backwards, and complete nonsense.

Then go?

Fighters and Mages Guild quest lines as well as the main quest line, are solo endeavors.

If you can't handle that, sorry.
