Rend and Sunder Armor will now instantly tap enemies to the Warrior.
The files Build 70170 added the taps-immediately flag (Attributes_6 0x800000) to all seven Rend ranks (772 to 11574) and all five Sunder Armor ranks (7386 to 11597).

Sunder Armor: Corrected the threat values on all ranks, including a small increase to threat generated from Attack Power.
The files Build 70009 rewrote the flat threat on all 5 Sunder Armor ranks (rank 1 from 1 to 34, rank 5 from 1013 to 206). There's no Attack Power coefficient in the files, so that part is server-side.

Expose Armor: Armor reduction increased to match the armor reduction caused by 5 applications of Sunder Armor at approximately the same level.
The files At 5 combo points Expose Armor removes 450, 900, 1350, 1800 and 2250 armor at ranks 1 to 5 (Classic 400 to 1700), five times Sunder Armor ranks 1 to 5 (90 to 450 per stack, learned at 10 to 58 against Expose Armor's 14 to 56). Build 70291 moved the armor effect from aura 22 to aura 674 with the same amounts.

Sunder Armor: Now usable even if the target has a more powerful Expose Armor effect active. Threat generated now scales with Attack Power.
The files Neither rule is in the client: there's no Expose Armor check, and the new threat effect is a flat 206 at rank 5 (34 at rank 1) with no attack power coefficient (spell 11597).
