Draenei and Tauren Get Looney Tunes Explosion Aftereffects From EZ Mine Deposits

If you’re wanting to experience a certified Looney Tunes moment, start looking for EZ-Mine nodes in Khaz Algar. The War Within brings a hilarious detail, a truly cartoony moment, for mining enthusiasts.

First spotted by FistHatchet, it seems our hoofed brethren have a special consequence of blowing up while mining:

The War Within has EZ-Mine nodes, which are covered in explosives. If you use the Overload Explosives skill and get killed by it while playing as a Draenei, the only thing left after will be your sizzling horseshoes. 

But Draenei aren’t the only ones with hooves, and it’s already been confirmed that it also works with Tauren!

Another fun fact about the explosion is that even immunities like the infamous Paladin Bubble don’t work. Your character just keels over or disappears in a cloud of smoke. 

But you can save yourself from such a humiliating, yet hilarious, fate. As noticed by Ragvan92, Hunter’s Aspect of the Turtle seems to work, so it could just be Blizzard’s prank on Paladins.

Freyja6 has a different idea, but no less fun, for the use of EZ-Mine nodes.

However you use the nodes, it’s clear that someone had a lot of fun thinking of and designing this. It’s great to see such clever details and easter eggs. Perhaps spreading the awareness and garnering positive player feedback will get us some more amusing mechanics in the future.
