There are some rough spots and tuning that needs to be done still. The two specific spots I remember: Balmorra in the north west part in the toxic swamp area. There are groups of two strong mobs that can stack DOT's. I remember getting there and dying in about 5 seconds to four different DOT's stacked 3 deep and these guys were two levels lower than me. I didn't have a healer companion, not that it would have helped but I learned to avoid these guys at all costs.

After that, because I was a bit OCD on getting every quest done, I found myself 2-8 levels above everything until Corellia and Illum. Illum was the next spot. I was in a story zone to challenge some alien guy and take over their group for the empire. Inside were two strong healer mobs that would chain heal each other. I'll admit that it took me about 40 minutes before I figured out how to kill them without help. But it was jarring to go from being able to solo 2-3 elite mobs to a brick wall of just 2 strong mobs. I did my fair share of bitching in /guild about it. Got laughed at, but all of 2 days later, someone else was in the exact same spot pissing on the carpet, just like I was.
