So yesterday I did The Steamvault with some friends. Its a very fun instance, probably my favorite so far. It is a pretty short instance, there is very little trash between the bosses.

The first boss is Hydromancer Thespia. She's a pretty simple fight. Just have the tank on her and DPS her down after killing the two water elemental pets that she starts with. Then move out of the way when she starts AoEing. Pretty much free loot.

The second boss is Mekgineer Steamrigger. He's more difficult, only because he requires you to pay attention. He starts with some leper gnome friends that you need to kill right away. They're non-elite and only take 2-3 hits to kill. Every now and then he'll summon 3 more lepers that heal him, those need to die ASAP. When you're not abusing lepers, DPS on the boss and get loot.

The third boss is Warlord Kalithresh. He's got a lot of HP and every now and then he'll run over to little containers that are scattered all over the room and start absorbing its energy. When he does this everyone needs to attack the container and destroy it before he is done channeling or else he gets the "Warlord's Rage" buff which increases his damage and attack speed by 75%. If he gets this buff its very hard to keep the tank up. He was very kind to me and dropped [Gauntlets of the Bold]. The second time we killed him he wasn't kind enough to drop [Devilshark Cape] so I'll have to go back to see him again.

When you get asked if you'll help a group with something thats like 5 levels below you and you've really got no reason to do it but you say ok anyway, and then when you ask if they can help you with your quest there they say "Sure" but everyone bails when its time to help you. Oh wait...Thats not at all awesome but thats what happens every single time. Sighhhhhhhh.
