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 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.

- Lifebloom mana cost reduced by 50%.
- Developers’ notes: Lifebloom refunds half its new base mana cost per stack when it expires or is dispelled. This part has always functioned in this way, and we’ve seen a bit of confusion around how the mana return portion of Lifebloom functions.
