I'd like to know when you are going to make solo bosses with harvesters in them actually doable

For Nightblades this is. I build my character to be a steath/bow wielding nightblade, so I can't do much AOE damage which makes harvesters and other bosses that spawn like 8 things on you at once basically impossible. Dont anyone say L2P I can beat the majority of things with ease. Even solo bosses. Why should I have to build my class around harvester solo bosses just to kill them? When i can kill everything else just fine. If you could get someone in if you need help thatd be fine but if not, nerf the bosses!!! Or at least the harvesters!! I had to be 10 levels over to kill the one in the MS quest and I can't move ahead in my FG quest either because of once again another harvester. PLEASE! I JUST WANT TO MOVE FOWARD! THERE IS ENOUGH BUGS ALREADY TO FRUSTRATE ME AND NOW THIS!!

    My stealthy ranged Nightblade beat the lvl50 Harvester ( main quest ) while beeing 38... dont remember my lvl exactly... just the laugh I had about it.

    You must take at least one melee ability... Conceiled Weapon for example will kill any orb with two hits.
    Scatter Shot on the ones you cant deal right now.

    This kind of mob is pretty easy after realizing its just about the orbs.
    They have an extremly low dmg output.
    Do not even try to nuke them... save the mag/stam for the orbs.
    The boss it self should be attacked by LMB attacks.

    Do not nerf this kind of boss!
    The are really easy.

    Nightblades are one of the best solo classes, especially against harvesters, just kill the orbs.

    I hope you've sent this to Zenimax via the in-game /bug or /feedback function? Sonner or later they will HAVE to listen and make these quests groupable, but it means as many as possible have to report them in!

    I don't use AoE on the harvesters myself. I individually attack the orbs. This is sometimes problematic with the occassional lack of responsiveness of controls, but mostly works fine.

    I'd say the most important thing is to have plenty of burst and spend some skill points in the Fighters' Guild line. That way, you only need to deal with one set of orbs.

    Do not aoe the orbs!
    Stun them and kill them one by one.

    Do not care about the harvester attacking you!
    If your gear is repaired they will definetly NOT onehit you.
    Evertime you kill an orb you get healed.

    As a sword and shield healing templar I'm having problems with this one on the Fighter's Guild quest in Malabal Tor... his orbs spawn way to close to it to get them all down in time... I'm gonna go try it now I've levelled up a bow a bit :)
    The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...

    Harvester is any boss with the orbs? Can't say I've had a problem on my NB (dual wield/bow). Just kill the orbs one by one with melee. Siphoning heals.

    Being one shot sounds like your armour is low level or not repaired. No one is having problems with these bosses, you're the first person to bring this up on the forum, so don't ask for a nerf, just ask for advice.

    Do not do that!
    Just skill Conceild Weapon and save your magicka for the orbs!
    I really hope they do not nerf these mobs as they are really easy...

    Get Silver Bolts + Expert Hunter (morphed Evil Hunter). Spam Strife + Bolts and if you get lucky with Evil Hunter procs, you can burst a Harvester down before she even stuns you and summons orbs.
