I would agree, though with a caveat. The fight is only doable for me if I assassinate the Magister Mage who casts Burning Skies BEFORE confronting Alexander. Even then, I usually lose one or two party members to volatile ground effects. It's a difficult encounter, by no means undoable if you manage to quickly kill the mage, but otherwise it's almost like a toss of the dice.
There also seems to be a bug there. If you teleport yourself to the platform where the Mage resides, she won't even register the player if you don't confront Alexander first. You can literally stand in front of her and she won't bat an eye. A bug? Probably.
