Changes: Global Thermal Sapper Charge

Latest revision as of 16:43, 24 June 2023

Unrivaled among engineering-created explosive devices, this is an enhanced version of the [Goblin Sapper Charge]. It follows the goblin principle of "maximum destructive ability, minimum self-preservation" seen in the side effects of other Goblin Engineering items.

Source

This item is created with Goblin Engineering (425); taught by trainers.

Materials required:
	1x [Saronite Bar]			1x [Volatile Blasting Trigger]

This item is created 5 at a time.

Notes

Does 200 damage to buildings and walls that can be damaged in Wintergrasp.
Note that it does not damage "everyone nearby", just enemies, and the wielder. This suggests strategies involving multiple Goblin Engineers, albeit at 5 minute intervals.
Given the signature icon of a Mushroom cloud, the name is almost certainly a reference to the term "Global Thermonuclear war". Another possible reference could be the thermal detonators of Star Wars.
These bombs played an important part in the Goon Squad's Wintergrasp Speedrun.

Patch changes

Patch 3.1.3 (2009-06-02): Siege damage reduced from 1200 to 200.
Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Added.
