If you were doing low level FATEs, then, ya, probably going to get crushed. The pruning for low levels hit hard, again. I ran Titan Normal in a leveling roulette as WAR, and I had like one and a half defensive cds. I was getting tore up by him.

Must keep in mind, though, this is just another "on-rails" MMO, and a majority of the focus is current-end game content.
