I am with you guys. Frustrated with people complaining that it's too hard and now she's been nerfed. I hope it won't be a big one.

The best part of this game is that it's refreshingly challenging. I absolutely love this game and am a staunch proponent, defending in zone nonstop about how much I think it's the next big thing. Putting the RPG into MMORPG again. Perhaps for the first time.

Please don't make this game toddler-friendly.

I defeated Doshia at level 6 with a tank Nightblade, level 7 with a resto Templar. Others too.

Most people who are struggling with this game are refusing to adapt to active combat. No blocks. No dodges. No bashes. If you stand in stuff you're going to get stomped. Otherwise, I am not a competitive professional gamer or anything, but I can handle 3 mobs that are 3 or 4 levels above me with some shrewd decision making. Surely someone who is being more conservative shouldn't have too difficult of a time. My family and I like to do dungeons 2 to 3 levels below recommended. The challenge is so fun. Even if we wipe many times!

Literally you can't lose to Doshia if you take out her healing orbs in time. With A Resto Templar I had to go through like 10 orb cycles and kill her with attrition. She is not difficult. She's not cheap. She's mechanic based.

If you're having difficulty with the game it's not shameful to completely reanalyze your strategies, try to learn or relearn the combat basics, practice WASD movement coordination or practice mouse targeting for adaptive target switching. There are players who came into this without having ever played other real-time-action MMOs (compared to the ones where you just trade hits or kite at best) and that is totally fine! There is room enough for everyone.

I would contend, however, that bringing the difficulty down, rather than helping to educate the struggling players with how they can improve their situations is a real disservice to the game. There are already tons of too-easy games for super casual players. I don't want to see my beloved ESO turn into that.

I beat both pre-nerf in the Beta and I was disappointed with how easy it was when I met them again in the launch version.

I was looking forward to a tough but doable battle and instead got a couple of cake walk creampuffs in comparison to my first battle with them.

They were balanced well to begin with, not easily taken down, but not impossible either. They should have left them as is and not nerfed them the way they did.

It made a manly tear fall into Crom's beard to see them weakened so to cater to the weak and unskilled.

Its disappointing that Gutsriper and Doshia have been lowered in difficulty. They both were tough fights but could be done solo at level 8 on new characters.

Neither fight is that tough now and I consider them to be to easy.

I was able to do the quest with characterlevel 6 . ESO pve is all about preparing, observing and quick-on foot-thinking.

It's only fair to weaken really low level bosses. The level 30 main quest has a Doshia 2.0 though, who is NOT nerfed.

That boss will be nerfed too until you can beat him withour blocking/dodging and with ignoring the orbs -.-

At the end of the fighters guild quest chain I fought something like Doshia and found out I could break her hold with a standard stun-break.

The fight suddenly became very trivial.

I can see how players would think the fight very hard, as there really isn't a "tutorial to breaking stuns" anywhere. Well... maybe I missed it in Coldharbor.

Get Silver Bolts first. It makes Doshia a cakewalk, even un-nerfed. Seriously.
