During Season of Discovery Phase 1, players thinking about Phase 2 were concerned that many of the mechanical bosses in the Gnomeregan raid would be immune to bleed and poison effects. If they were, that would invalidate many beloved runes and character specializations. Blizzard recently stated that none of the bosses would be immune but that some would have increased resistance to those types of effects.
As usual Blizzard did not provide specific details, but now with the release of the Gnomeregan raid players have been able to figure out these resistances. Players have also made an unexpected discovery about the armor that Gnomeregan bosses have. The mechanical bosses have very high armor values — some even higher than Ragnaros from the level 60 Molten Core raid!
Approximate armor values determined by GroxEmpire from Fight Club discord.
In the Phase 1 Raid Blackfathom Deeps, most of the bosses had low enough armor that a regular suite of armor debuffs would bring them down to nearly zero armor. This meant they would mitigate either zero or just a few % of the physical damage that players deal to them. The mechanical bosses in Gnomeregan are completely different and in most circumstances will mitigate between 30% and 50% of incoming physical damage.
You can see in the above table the different boss armor values found in Gnomeregan as well as some common combinations of armor debuffs. The table entries tell you how much your physical damage will be reduced by the boss's armor.
Very high physical mitigation from bosses makes physical damage classes weaker in general. With all the new spell damage gear released and the discovery of very high boss armor values, it seems like Blizzard wants to push caster damage dealers into the spotlight to be much more competitive damage dealers in Gnomeregan than they have been before.
The initial data from two lockouts of Gnomeregan show almost every caster DPS ahead of almost every physical DPS class — Melee Hunter, Frost Mage, and Balance Druids are the only outliers.

During the Blizzcon announcement for Season of Discovery Blizzard stated they wanted to make all classes feel overpowered, not just Warriors like it has been in Classic Era. These high armor values definitely give

Today, Arrowhead announced a new Warbond called Cutting Edge, which is coming on Thursday, March 14 to Helldivers 2. A Warbond is effectively the game's version of a Battle Pass, in case you didn't know.
Watching Netflix’s cosmic philosophy movie Spaceman, the most obvious question is about the plot: Is that giant alien space spider real, or a hallucination? But the second most obvious question might be Why is Adam Sandler starring in this movie? Sandler has taken on a number of increasingly high-profile dramatic roles since he first surprised his fans and dodged his comedy-career typecasting with Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love back in 2002. But his roles have always been tinged with comedy, even if it’s dark, wry, or despairing comedy. Spaceman is something new: a grim story that doesn’t crack a smile as it sends Sandler into space as Czech astronaut Jakub, a man whose life, relationship, and maybe psyche are all disintegrating during a long solo journey.
Greetings, fearless heroes of galactic democracy! Steel yourself for the next big push against the disgraceful enemies of freedom with our new Warbond – Cutting Edge*.
Gamers are being inspired by the Willy Wonka fiasco that recently happened in Scotland, recreating the barren and meme-worthy experience in their favorite titles. Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Far Cry 5 have both gotten humorous renditions of the disastrous event, which drew in customers with its misleading AI-generated advertisements. The forlorn recreation of Roald Dahl’s magical world turned out to be a threadbare experience with a lone Oompa-Loompa rationing out jellybeans to children and The Unknown (a nonexistent character made up by AI) then jumping out to scare them silly.

Adam Sandler is like you’ve never seen him before in the new sci-fi movie Spaceman. In his most dramatic role yet, he plays an astronaut on a solo mission to the far reaches of Jupiter to collect ancient space dust.
Skull and Bones finally launched earlier this month, and though it has done quite the opposite of setting the world on fire with its critical reception, for those who’re sailing the high seas in the online pirate game, Ubisoft has released its first free season of post-launch content.
