“I'm running through the quest line once more.

I can't see how any of my other characters will finish this on beta, let alone live. I've tried the second instance five times and still can't seem to get the mobs down. I can kill one and then the next one seems impossible. This beta experience for me has been less than satisfying. Sure, I've found bugs and reported quests etc, but three weeks away from release and I've managed to complete the quest line once.

To add a bit more info, I have four characters in beta that are working the quest line. One finished it. The rest more than likely won't (at least at this point of the beta). Each stalled on a different step/mob, whether it's because they don't have the dps (like the templar) or just can't do enough to get through a zone or grasp a mob's strategy. Really taking a beating on this beta as far as confidence to even get through it on live. ”

I can only assume the mobs have been set too high deliberately and will be nerfed when we're live, or it's an oversight. I don't expect to one shot them but I have 167k pot with the fervor buff, and I'm geared out with all the adorns and 5 or 6 heroic items I've picked up. I've never done beta before, so don't know if the mobs fluctuating from easy to impossible to easy to impossible etc is normal, but as things stand right now, people aren't getting past this zone.
