The group I participated in did not have too hard of a time with the initial encounter. We had 2 goblins that took the other two member of the party as prisoners to sacrifice to the other goblins and used "role playing" to circumvent the first goblin encounter and headed straight to the boss.
We found that the goblins with the Boss hit very hard and took out our Paladin of the group. I the cleric was able to keep him alive by healing him. I find that the channeling is comparable to first edition pathfinder but I felt like i was limited to only swinging my sword around and hoping I was going to hit something.
I feel the spell casters are hindered from participating much in combat due to the lack of spells and even good offensive cantrips. The Cleric having only 1 offensive cantrip. During Character creation our wizard or sorcerer of the group had to pick schools of spells and had to go through every spell in the book to see what school it belongs to instead of using the short title list for that class of spells.I found it was fairly simple to create character using the new way to choose ability scores.
