Not sure if I have been playing the right classes, so far I’ve gotten to the 60’s with Engi, Warrior, Guardian, and 80 with a necromancer and really have never had a problem with the story. If anything, I had the most problems on the Guardian, but that was due to me not really knowing how to work the class well. Other than that, most parts are really too easy.
All this “Personal Story is too hard” business reminds me of another mmo with a similar mechanic and all the complaints it received. I made a character in there for the sole purpose of tackling the “hardest” story boss according to the forums and was met with…disappointment. He had an attack that could 1 shot you, or close to it…all you had to do was save an interrupt and the fight was a simple tank and spank. He got nerfed two weeks later and that only added to my disappointment.
Now, examples aside, there will usually be a trick to most fights in your story. Most of the time all you need to do is dodge or interrupt a certain attack. This is almost always the case. However, due to the way leveling works and you all saying you had a lack of dps or health, maybe your gear is out of date? Due to how scaling works that can be a pretty bad situation to be in. A new set of up to date blue gear costs less than 10-15s all the way up to 80 on the market. If possible, try to get green or yellow weapons too.
Oh, and very very important. Dodge. Dodge everything and anything you can (unless there is a super attack you need to save a dodge for). If you can get vigor in any way shape or form, use that too. Dodging is very important for avoiding cc, conditions, or just massive damage.
