Bugs

• Although the tooltip indicates this ability is a class action, it appears to be a free action - in line with that of a Steel Watcher Titan's similar functioning  Self-Detonate (Steel Watcher Titan).
• Despite the tooltip stating the explosion ignores resistance to Fire damage, this does not appear to be the case. (confirmed for normal Steel Watchers only)
• Combat logs show no record of a DEX saving throw. Characters with  Evasion appear to always take half damage; characters without a comparable passive take full damage (subject to resistance). Resistance and evasion can stack for quarter damage. (confirmed for normal Steel Watchers only)
