T3 Named (MMM,Zeka,Ship,Steam factory)

[WaringMcMarrin]

How do you all think they are for tuning? Please post what mobs and what is to easy/hard about them.

Ill say that the named in SHIP need to spawn more often up top. Spent 3+ hours there with 1 named spawn, and clearing 2 different named camps the whole time.

First, some general comments: All mobs are a bit too rare in my opinion. I spent days in S.H.I.P. and saw a named about every 2 hours on average. That's simply too long. A group would have to be in the zone for well over 100 hours to collect steam cores for everyone.

Named in S.H.I.P. are very doable. The ones I've encountered in Steam Factory were stupidly hard. I've only killed one named in MMM so have limited experience there.

S.H.I.P.
Former Head Scientist Bozle - Easy mob, just a bit harder than the trash mobs.
Head Scientist Lotrip - Easy mob, just a bit harder than trash mobs.
Head Scientist Wripple - Easy enough but the 4 gnomes per side in his room make breaking it tough.
Head Scientist Spodwork - His shadow-step proc makes him challenging but not hard really.
Head Scientist Belnot - Easy mob, just a bit harder than trash mobs.
Chief Administrator Grigano - Not sure what this mob is for but he's twice as hard as anything else in the zone and he drops nothing.

Steam Factory
Ironhorn - Very hard mob. Not worth killing due to his difficulty.
Slavemaster Gork - Stupidly hard. This mob is much harder than Crystallos squires. There's no reason for me to kill this mob when I can get better loot in Crystallos from easier mobs.
Exterminator Mark V - I haven't done this mob but I understand he's about the same level of difficulty as the two above.

MMM
Albereth, Top Chef - Seemed just a bit harder than the trash mobs.
Geartop - I don't have direct experience with this mob. I have read, though, of people dying to the adds on every fight. They camp a cleric in the hall to rez after the adds despawn. Seems a bit too hard.

Zeka
Chamberlain - Easy enough but the adds are annoying
I feel I must make a general comment about Zeka. The zone is poorly designed when it comes to mob placement. The mobs are too tightly packed together in rooms, there are too many roamers, and many mobs see invis. Pulling is impossible without a pulling class. This zone will never see any serious use in its current form. I tried to make use of Zeka but it just isn't worth the trouble (outside of Chamberlain).

In general, I avoid named that spawn adds. Unless they have some specific piece of loot you will find that people generally leave them alone.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Malfunctioning Steamwork Borri is one that I have seen personally. He is on the very roof of the zone, one level up from the level with the injured spy for MMM access.

To get to the roof, you go into the small room on the same floor, up the ladder on the wall (easy to miss), and finally up the elevator within the room up there, Borri spawns from one of the roamers outside on the rooftop area.

Someone on alla's posted that Gripwir spawns on the 3rd floor, southern bubble area. On a platform on the right as you enter the room.
