From my experience you can reach level 4 by experiencing only half the content of EA. Pre patch 5 I reached level 4 without experiencing any major content of EA. Plenty of fights can be done even some without needing you to fight. Post patch 5 I can reach level cap with a little more than a quarter of EA thanks to the hefty exp boost from the tutorial. Try yourself at some boss and you will find yourself very close to level 5 already.
You definitely do not need to be level 5 to beat the githyanki, but since I am trying to encourage you to see further than this fight, what about the content past this part of act 1, what of moonrise tower? The game might give you a quest with laezel, but it is in no way encouraging you to do that path first. In fact you are heavilly directed toward halsin. Anyone can reach the githyanki patrol fairly fast. In fact you could be level 2-3 if you really chose to focus this path. You will meet a wall yes, but obviously if you can’t do this yet you simply shouldn’t. Would you try to defeat Ethel at level 2? Doubtfully. Would you rush to defeat the spiderqueen? Of course not. I don’t see anyone trying to “tune” them down either. We don’t know what lies past the mountain pass. What I can tell you though, is that so far many quests had variant paths you could take to reach the next content. Why would Laezel’s storyline be any different? So no, I do not qualify “rushing her content” justification enough to nerf the fight.
Obviously there is no wrong way to play the game. Like any adventure though, there are consequences to the choices you make. I can’t tell you how to play your game, just make sure you think before you act.
