I think they made all the bosses in Summerset more difficult on purpose because of people wanting harder content. It sounds like you were trying to solo him. If so, good luck.

Wait for other players and kill him together.

I'm a 11th level warden, I just have questing gear (no special sets). I've tried with the bow but still die quickly, I've seen others post they kill him quickly. I'm unable to do that..the most I've got him down to is 60%. Any specific Warden strategy? Other than him him with the bow and stay out of the red circles? Do you get the orbs? Do you go straight for K'tora? Better gear? Do you have to have good twitch reflexes for this fight? Any tips would help.

I just did it... It was hard for me, but I got better gear, food, and potions... It helped a lot!

I did this fight on a leveling magblade with no CP and my strategy was to lay down an AOE (wall of elements) on the boss and adds, then light attack the heck out of K'torra to save my resources for self-healing and my AOE, heavy attacking if I was running low.

On a stam build, I'd use Volley for my AOE, self-healing might be hard depending on class.

Try to keep the boss off balance. That keeps the adds from spawning much, if at all, depending on how hard you can keep hammering K'tora.

Spam ranged attacks from the center, keep moving and close in, then hit wit heavy attacks, danage-over-time skills and/or ultimate. K'tora will dive underground and come back on the other side. Run to the middle and keep repeating. If you can keep this up, it delays letting the adds spawn and swarm. If they mob you, you'll die.

Other players find spamming AOEs works well.

K'tora has tons of hit points, but relatively weak attacks. The adds are the danger, and will spawn too fast to make soloing fun. This could be a really fun, long brawl alternating between killing waves of adds and hammering the boss. Unfortunately, the adds tend to turn into a zerg, so to me, mechanics wind up secondary to spamming any means to keep the boss off balance, which pre-empts the zerg of adds.

My character is a Champion leveled vampire tank/Healer Imperial. I ran out of potions... I also ran out of hope...
I tried looking up ways to do it but there isn't much about it! PLEASE EXPLAIN THE MECHANICS!
This boss is way too difficult... ZOS needs to adjust its difficulty... Or I am going to toss my computer out the window in my rage...
Sorry... I am just frustrated.

come on, it's a World boss .. not one of these faceroll easy quest boss, if you can't solo him you should ask in chat for help .. Isn't that an MMo ?

You are thinking of B'Korgen the world boss. K'Torra is in fact a quest boss faced in the main Summerset quest line.

He's basically the Doshia of Summerset for new players. A boss that requires AOE, DOTs, interrupts and good resource management.

Actually, Doshia wasn't hard, but the mechanics weren't readily apparent - especially for an early-game boss.

K'tora is more like the Grand Sermonizer in the Dark Brotherhood quest. Depending on your build, it can be easy or stupid-hard. Even though your build plays fine everywhere else, including against difficult bosses. The Grand Sermonizer spams unlockable, unavoidable AOEs, even if you kite and take out her adds. K'tora spams a zerg of adds who can be more powerful than the actual boss. These kinds of attacks will corner you and cheap-shot you because you'll run out of split-second time to manage resources.

There aren't many bosses like these, but they tend to stand out because they'll go seemingly OP beyond their own mechanics unless your build matches what the devs tested against - which is usually popular builds at the time the boss was designed, but not necessarily YOUR build. Nerfing the boss (like Doshia) isn't necessary. But fine-tuning so the mechanics work correctly across more builds would help make them more fun and still challenging.

Use a bow. Fighting with a staff at a low level is very difficult
