I'm absolutely losing my mind here. The final quest for 'The Knowledgeable Asura' seems to be impossible for me. I can't for the life of me pinpoint what the problem is, and I'd like to know if it's just me who sucks at the game or if I'm overlooking something. I've tried the quest at the very LEAST 30 times, and I just can't do it, and I'm about to throw my computer through the window.

I'm a NecroRanger, have a 14-26 bow, the required points (11) of marksmanship, all my armor is 60 and they all have runes. In my party I've got;
(E20) Vekk
(Mo20) Ogden Stonehealer
(Mo/W20) Dunkoro
(D20) M.O.X.
(W/E20) Koss
(D/A20) Melonni
(W20) Jora

And of course the Asura that are in the quest itself.
Any tips would be oh so greatly appreciated!

This tells us nothing. There are over 1000 skills in the game and there's no way to tell if you're putting them together well simply from the profession combination. Your builds are the most important thing, and without them we can't really provide guidance other than feeding you whats on the wikis (Official | PvX). Easiest way to post them would probably be to open your hero panels and print screen it.

You're not understanding fundamental game principles here. You don't pick two professions. You pick a primary and a secondary. You are a necromancer. You cast spells. For this purpose you should have a wand and focus or a staff. Bows are for rangers, which you are not. The point of secondary professions is to be able to round out your build with one or two specific abilities. Trying to mesh two entirely different concepts (bow + spells) doesn't work. You end up watering down your attributes too much and will never be effective at archery anyway. Remember that rangers get expertise which lowers their skill costs. As a result, their skills are usually balanced with this in mind (thus, you're paying more than a ranger should).

PS: How many campaigns have you completed? EotN is end game content. It was designed with the assumption that you've completed at least one of the campaigns. For a first time player, I'd generally recommend going through all of them first. They teach the game concepts a lot better, have a slower difficulty curve, give you access to a lot more skills, give you a chance to obtain a better equipment selection, etc. Your bow isn't even max damage. Someone in EotN should be able to obtain max equipment very easily.

Don't feel like you have to complete all campaigns before gwen (Guild Wars: Eye of the North), the pve skills do help alot - so I'd recommend playing through nightfall before eotn, and make sre you pick up ALL pve skills in gwen (eotn) aswell.

Other than that; as above, focus on your main profession and make a build through that - I used to be in a top TA (Team Arena) team and the pressure there on builds is intense - there has been plenty of cases where secondary profession can be of good use and even a few instances (1-2 handfulls, single player builds, these tend to get nerfed relatively fast aswell) where it works better than the main attributes in a bar, allmost all of the times they do NOT though.

Also as said see to that you use an effective teambuild for your heroes, like saabway, discordway, ritway or any other effective easy to use build.

So in short - same as above, BUT recall that the game is first and foremost about you having fun - don't feel pressured to use a specific build, most of us learn by our failures and become better because of them. Video sites are good sources when you want to check out other meta team builds.
