I did this with DK Tank build (Sword/Shield), was taking me 2 regular attacks to kill each orb and I managed to do it. It's about the mechanics. Instead of a nerf they just need to make the area you fight her a little larger and make it so the orbs don't spawn inside walls.

I also noticed some slight bugging where the orbs wouldn't appear and she would just be healed back to full for no obvious reason. I died about I think 6 times before I managed to get a lucky one where it didn't bug and I killed her.

If you are having trouble perhaps try using food buffs and Quickslot Health Potions.

Im not sure they need to nerf her, but fix the little bugs that don't allow your attacks to damage the orbs. I was able to kill her easily after a fight or two and realizing what to do. But when I tried showing my brother how, the orbs on his game were invulnerable to attack so she just kept healing. We tried every type of weapon and tried leaving and re entering the instance. Nothing seems to work for him.

Nerfing her isn't needed. Currently, the bugs are what's keeping me from killing her. There are little "gaps" in the timing where I simply cannot attack, despite having near full health, magika and stamina. Then there's the unhittable orbs bug, where I can swing and swing at an orb but never hit it...after destroying the other three orbs. This unkillable orb always makes it to Doshia, healing her fully...and this starts the dance all over again.

I was a DK with two hander, spiked armor, molten weapons, earthen fist AND silver bolts and still couldn't DPS enough to take her out. There's something wrong with the encounter.

It's a solo only encounter is what's wrong with it. Bad design choice, imnsho. (That's In My Not So Humble Opinon, in case you were wondering)

When can you even face Doshia? I'm a level 17 templar and haven't had to fight her yet. Where do you get the quest? I'm currently on a level 15 Fighter's Guild quest in Grahtwood.

@rabidm00se its the final boss of the first fighter's guild quest.

My restro staff is my dps. I should not have to think outside the box. I should be able to play how I like. This is how I was advertised. This is how I want to play. If I can not play this way then I was misadvertised to. I want to play my game how I want to play it and ESO said we can do that. Hey you want to try and "think outside the box" great for you. However that is not the role I am playing.

I did this as a 'tank' build using the Dragonknight Standard Ultimate ability. It will both drop her health and destroy the orbs at the same time, just keep her standing in it.
Nova (Templar) and Storm Atronach (Sorcerer) should also work,

A- BARELY have enough time to kill all the orbs as a healer class.
B- When I do have time to DPS the boss I can not do enough damage.
C- Sometimes all the orbs are not even gone and it summons yet more orbs.

Clearly this boss was not well thought out. It needs to summon the orbs at every percent of missing health to make it remotely killable to all classes/specs. Not every xyz seconds.

This is not enjoyable it can not kill me and I can not kill it. I have never played an MMO where I can not progress through it because the boss on a solo mission could not be killed.

Negative. I killed her very easily with a resto staff. L2playyercharacter.

I have to say, just for the record, I really like getting my butt kicked at low levels. I'm not being sarcastic. I like that this is a challenge. I like when I have to go level up some more to beat a boss. I don't want easy kills and fast progress.

Not sure why this quest, and the Gutsripper one, aren't doable as a group. This is an MMO we're playing here, not a Massively Single-Player Online game.

Awesome but uhm there is no stairs. There also is no platform she is in the back of a cave. I had a spelling Error it is really called Doshia.

Somehow I think without the stairs and platform it will not work..

The layout of the tomb she's in depends on your faction. In DC, she's in a small room with a hallway leading to her. Be wary: I pushed her through the wall of that hallway with destro-staff 1. The stairs are AD. Havn't seen her on EP yet.

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.

The fight is absolutely all-right... on some specs. Others have a hard time due to lack of spammable AOE that's big enough to reliably kil the orbs that approach her from behind and that you can't shoot at because the soft-lock directs your arrows to her instead.

If the fight is unbalanced, it's because other specs have it easy. On my Sorcerer I used morphed destro staff 2 (for size) to kill the bubbles easily and reliably. The storm atronarch tanked her at the beginning, followed by the imp so I could stay back and avoid the three-pronged fan of ice or what it may be. Easiest fight ever. The damn three trash mobs at the top of the stair (AD) were harder than her!

So you see, it's all about your build / spec. On some, Doshia is a pushover. On others she's a showstopper.

Gutsripper is so easy it's not even funny. DPS from a distance run up the stairs and jump off the ledge when he get's close then keep shooting from a distance and run back up the stairs to the left side platform again and keep jumping off til dead. KITE KITE KITE!

Thank you for your comment but the thing is that at level 9 you only have a finite amount of ability points. You CAN slot other weapons yes but you will have no skills in said weapon.

My combo has worked great up till this point and I have no need or desire to change it. Then this happens and what I am left with is no choices or no way to change. I am stuck as is. Even if I took the time to level my weapon skill it ouwld not change the fact that I literally get no benefit from it skill wise to replace my restro staff.

By the time I got there I had the 6 Skyshards from the starter Island and 7 of the Auridon Skyshards (4 from public dungeons and 3 above ground in route to that quest) which gave me 4 more Skill points above the ones from leveling and doing specific quests. You should definitely have more skill points than just what is need to fill the Healing class tree.

Also you have to have some sort of damaging ability in order to level as high as you did, how else would you have killed the quests mobs? Kill orbs, Widdle down Doshia's Health and Heal as needed. Don't rush just do not let her absorb orbs. The orbs only take one hit to kill.

I made a pure crafting character in the beta. I got so frustrated, but I did kill her (in her incarnation where there are stairs so you can kite her).
There were other frustratingly hard fights - many of them - but that was a choice I made, as a crafting character. If I couldn't kill level 7 things even at twice their level, that was MY CHOICE. It was my choice to come back later, at a higher level, rather than divert from my choice of a crafting-only character.
- It was challenging. No, it was more than challenging - it was massively frustrating. But that was OK.
