Id say it depends on the story quest, at least in the beginning.

I tried just about every class to about 16-20, and definitely found the squishies to have a harder time. The most troublesome was my Norn engineers level 14 quest, where i had to kill some dude and the ice dragon. The only problem was, the NPC was stupid and went straight after the guy. (I found out later that the guy cannot die until the dragon is dead). This is something that should be programmed into the NPC’s. Why attack a target if it cannot die? I mean, they didnt even switch targets after I figured it out. I ended up quitting that character for a bit and then coming back. The strategy I had to use, was zerg the dragon and pray the NPCs attacked it too, whilst AOE healing and buffing myself and the NPCs.

I also had a heck of a time with the asuras mesmer quest around level 8, after I chose to go rescue Pol and then interrupt the party. Basically every time I died, the portal turret would teleport me before I got a chance to get inside the building, and I spent about half an hour just running around in circles trying to heal myself while hoping an image would pop to take the aggro off me.

Also, dont get my started on the reactor event in the asura area. That final fire elemental event was designed by one masochistic engineer….

I figured Im playing the class wrong (which is why I came to the forums), but am seeing others having the same issue.
