On the EQ2 Forums by Kander:
Changes to Zaalax, Xaalax, Saalax and Yaalax:
* They no longer mitigate significant amounts of elemental damage.
* The strength of the knockback on Zaalax’s Crushalanche spell has been reduced.
* Call of the Underfoot curse now lasts longer before going off
* Players now have more time to move away from Zaalax’s fissures before being hit by a seismic shock
* The splits off Zaalax now have lower maximum health.Incidentally, the X,Y, Z encounter does indeed have loot.

We are hoping for tomorrow with these changes. Watch for the patch in the morning.
Gloves are probably on the special chest you hate…
