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.

My tank DK has points in 4 crafting skills. Sword/board and mostly defense abilities. I killed her and Gutripper easily. My healer sorc hasnt gotten there yet in Fighters guild but has killed Gutripper.

The problem with coming back at twice the required level is you loose out on any decent drops she may drop because you're too high level and the gear won't drop.

I am hardly an optimal build (nightblade tank of all things) and I found it relatively easy to be honest. Threads like this always make me laugh cause it exposes the bad players.

By the time I actually got around to doing this quest I was Lv 10 but I had no trouble killing her on the first try. With that being said I was in full medium armor with my clannfear and storm atronach out. I didn't focus on the orbs I stuck on the boss kept curse up and pelted her with bow skills. (While the minions did whatever they do)

Obviously without going in to too much detail I've opted for a hunter/ranger play style and so far its worked out pretty well for me.

The encounter is so covered with bugs its ridiculous. It makes a challenging fight absolutely impossible to do.

What people don't seem to understand that it's not people not knowing what they have to do, its that the orb system is glitchy and bugged.

1) I've had her spawn orbs right on top of her
2) I've swung 2-4 times through an orb and no damage was sustained
3) I've had her heal to full HP from 1% when no 'visible' orbs hit her.

When you burn an entire weapons charge in one fight and still lose, something is wrong with the encounter and needs looking at.

It's a great mechanic, it's an interesting fight.. but when its bugged to high heaven.. it makes it a very frustrating (game breaking) fight.

The last time I've tried fighting Doshia, the orbs were clustered oddly. One would appear far away from her, and the other three would be clustered together. Trying to destroy either set would result in her getting healed. That said, however, I know I can beat her without fighting the orbs, as I managed it in beta. I just don't recall how I did it. XD

I'll give it another try after I've adjusted my weapons and gear a bit to better suit my level.
