Notable Trash

• Mercenary groups with Pirate Stimfiend and MedTech droids
• You will encounter these guys right after Dash’roode. Pirate Stimfiend will buff all the mobs around him, increasing their damage output. Med-Tech droids on the other hand, will continously heal other mobs until killed. Priority is to kill the Med-The Droids and then Pirate Stimfiends ASAP.
• Dustclaw Alpha
• Dustclaw Alpha have an ability called Commanding Shriek that needs to be interrupted.
• Arms Trader
• These guys have two attacks. First is Free Sample which is a mortar volley like attack that deals AoE damage to a small area marked by a yellow circle. If you take too long to kill Arms Trader or he gets low in health, he will use an ability called Final Offer that deals a ton of single target damage. Most of them are interruptible. 
• Accomplished Arms Trader

• This is a mini boss that can be found right before the lifts that take you to Oasis city. He is similar to other Arms traders except he cannot be interrupted. Drops 2x Exotic Element Equalizer (Grade 10 Exotic Crafting Material and 2 Elite Commendations when killed)
• There is a second one inside Oasis city (Operations Chief)
• There is a third one after Olok the Shadow
