(Human Street Rat) Personal Story: Breaking Blade (Death, death, more death)

For the 9/27 update, I reduced the number of banits in each wave, so you aren’t expected to fight 3 at once.

I’m also looking into Logan’s behavior, he’s attacking…very…slowly…if at all, and I can’t see why.

I think the main problem for some players on this thread is the boss Doc Howler. Generally, I just want to be able to solo the Doc so that I don’t have to waste a life to revive Quinn only to have him charge in and die again.

…Cover? The only cover available is in the building behind the bar. That means I’m still getting shot at, but the only stun I’d have would be a headshot (Much worse than black powder). I could roll and shadowstep, but it’d be much harder considering my camera would be half blocked by the banisters. If your character goes too far outside, Doc Howler resets and regains all health. The problem isn’t huge, heavily relayed attacks. The problem is the constant onslaught of poison and bullets that whittle my health down rather quickly.

I’m incredibly fed up with the quest “Breaking Blade” for the human street rat. The level of difficulty is insane. I’ll go through it more with a list…

  • I’m a thief. Not the most durable of classes, but evading, dodging, and shadowstepping should get me out of the way, right? Wrong. Right after I walk into the bar, angry bandits spawn outside, trapping me and my companion (Quinn) inside the bar. Much dodging, rolling, and stabbing later, I’m dead. I come back, flustered. This time I run outside as soon as I pull to use a ranged weapon against these enemies. I dodge, shoot arrows, dodge, shadowstep, but it’s all in vain for they’re constantly auto-locking onto me with pistols. I get down but manage to take one out. 3 more are left and they’re camping Quinn’s body. I come back the next time and take them all out.

Death Count: 2.

  • Suddenly, MORE bandits spawn, alongside a boss. I didn’t have time to heal Quinn, so he remains on the floor. I die from the surprise attack, as well as being cornered in the bar. I come back, die, come back, die, come back, die…- But I manage to defeat all of the bandits, except for the boss (Doc Howler).

Death Count: 4.

  • Long story short, I try all weapon combos I can. After 20 minutes of looking things up online, I try to use a S/P combo and blind her so few of her attacks hit. No success. Each time I manage to get her to about 30% health, then I die. Eventually, all of my armor has deteriorated. I look for someway to repair it in the instance, but there is none.

Death Count: 10.

What am I doing wrong? I’m level 10, the level of the quest. My armor is decent. I am taking advantage of dodges and shadowsteps, blinds, and such. However, even if I dodge/shadowsteps away, she simply shoots me from afar, hardly helping anything.

I’ve had to restart this twice because all of my armor had deteriorated.

Is this quest intentionally hair-pullingly hard? Is there any intention to nerf it? Has anyone else had the same problems?
Sorry for the wall of text, but this is just insanely annoying.

Guardians: Any way to disable Aegis?

I love running around with a greatsword or a torch and sword. I especially like the lighting effects of the torch in the night, and the overall feel of my character (I try to make him look like a more evil sort of guardian).

However, the spell aegis seems to ruin this mood (Big glowing blue shield on top of my torch or sword?). Is there any way to disable Aegis or select another ability for its position (Just started playing).
