Steam Factory

new mob .. never seen this guys.. lvl85 con.. sees invis >> Wizzoble ... copter type ..hehe

There are two "a steamwork musician", in the corridor just south of entrance from Mechanotus. They are behind a door, red con at level 80, don't see invis, but I got insta aggro as soon as I removed invis at zone in. They hit me (80 druid) up to 6K, and I was reported up to 9K.

They also spam a few emotes :
- a steamwork musician bangs its hands on its chest like a drum, but with little rhythm.
- a steamwork musician plays its instrument, if you call that playing.
- a steamwork musician grinds out some noises with its jaw that sound like nails on a chalkboard.

new mob... Exterminator Mark V.. looks like a robotic
rat. spawns in the cogswheel brownie area just by the
zone in. he was the roamer but most likely any brownie
could be his ph. sending the webmaster a snapshot. no
loot info i was only scouting to see if sparkbolt was
up after server crash.

Directions: Take the cannon from DH to FM. Go west a litle bit, and drop down into the closest zone to The Steam Factory. When I zoned into SF, I checked track. This guy, red on track, was up at the top when sorted by consider, along with four other nameds. I wasn't looking for this guy, I was just exploring. I think I misinterpreted my tracking data. I went south, took the first brownie tunnel west, passed through the brownie room, to a medium sized room with gnomes in it. I went west through the short tunnel into a room at the end. I opened the door, and almost instantly died. I didn't have a chance to see what was going on before invis broke, but this is what I gathered from using f9 and f10 after death. There are about five gnomes/robots in there, one of which is Quartermaster Thickgear. He looked like a steam suit found elsewhere in SF. He probably saw invis (I didn't /con him, but something in the room broke my invis, and trash in SF doesn't seem to see invis.) Trash mobs hit me first for 591 to 2633, and then the boss hit me twice, once for 1321, and another time for 4776. This was on a 79 ranger with full defensive available at level 79 except for one aa and AC of about 2950. And I died in about a second, or less. My break invis alarm went off, and I thought oo, and I was dead. It truly is painless when it happens that fast.

I think this is supposed to be a groupable mob, but how is anyone supposed to deal with this kind of punishment? This seems kind of crazy to me. Out of 15 mob swings at me, I took 8 hits total, and had four swings that were misses, and one swing each a riposte, a parry and a dodge. A level 80 more uber player would have a max total of three addtional aa's in defensives, more AC, trivially higher defensive skills (dodge, riposte, etc.) more avoidance and shielding, but they would likely ? only take one less hit, and have somewhat less total incoming damage, but the pull would still be very damaging. You can see my thinking. /rant off (for now)

raid mob in Instanced version of steam factory.
dropped


Pneumatic powerblade
ancient scaled sleeves
humming/whirring runes.

Named oil-slime mob on the south side of the zone. Quads FAST for 5k on an Anguish-level WAR. Was two-rounded by this mob, which then proceeded to kill off the rest of my group in a matter of seconds.
