Light's Watch was, like all Fractured Peaks content, available in the Endgame beta but I don't recall doing this one, nor did I do the "Legacies of the Light's Watch" sidequest, which I do complete here (eventually).

On the whirlwind barbarian, at level 7, most of this dungeon was fine, but the end boss was way too much for me to handle without more defensive abilities.

I've heard that the barbarian is tuned to be more powerful once it gets a lot of Legendary weapons for the Arsenal system, which is fine, but I still don't think it should struggle QUITE this much.

Returning to the dungeon at level 24, with better gear, defensives, and the Call of the Ancients ultimate, I still took a lot of damage and felt a little underpowered. Apparently there are some much beefier thorns/bleed builds available, but I'm of the opinion that most skills should be at least reasonably viable for most content.

NOTES:

►Sidequests WERE in the Endgame beta, in all zones not just the starter area, thus I've done many of them but obviously am not talking about the ones outside the Fractured Peaks.
►I've 'only' played 217 hours of Barbarian in Diablo 3, but I really enjoy the spin2win lazy Barbarian playstyle just for mindless grinding.
►The other analogies from D3 are Wizard (182 hours) and Demon Hunter (98 hours) so I definitely don't play those classes much. (Necromancer 194 hours, Monk 279 hours, Witch Doctor 527 hours, Crusader 592 hours).
►Note that these times are only for the PC release. I also played a lot of the Switch version. Brings my total up to probably 2200 hours (I no longer have a Switch to check my play time.)
