WoW Classic: Season of Discovery

• High-Yield Radiation Bomb adjusted:
  • Its slow effect can now be removed with snare removal effects.
  • Its damage-over-time is now correctly Nature damage and a Poison effect (was Magical).
  • The initial damage of the bomb now works on enemies that are typically immune to slows.
  • The initial damage of the bomb will now always go off when it hits.
• The increased armor value of certain mechanical bosses in Gnomeregan has been reduced slightly.
  • Developers’ notes: The higher armor values on certain mechanical enemies in Gnomeregan was correct and intended, but we will adjust the armor on Crowd Pummeler 9-60 and Mekingeer Thermaplugg slightly to provide up to a 10% increase in physical damage received, depending on modifiers present. We also checked the Mechanical Managerie, and it is using the correct armor values.
