I am currently a VR3, and I've seen my share of messed up quests, but not one of them has yet to top this one. It took me three days to light that brazier. And I really don't know how many times I died trying.
The best thing I can say is face slightly to the left and spam the key as you leap off.
I landed the lucky shot when I hit it. At the very second I hit the rocks below I got it. I was dead when I saw the beam.
I truly believe ZOS is keeping it this for a good laugh.
