The immune patch hit raid NPCs. Again, there is a distinction between "immune to slow" and "unslowable." This patch introduced "immune to slow." Kunark mobs that were unslowable due to resists remained unslowable due to resists, not due to an immune tag. Go browse through the slow chart and look for immune to slow on Kunark mobs. You will note that the only Kunark NPC that had an "immune to slow" tag was Black Reaver which occurred after the zone was revamped (which is even noted as post-revamp in the chart).
You should come to the conclusion that no, this patch didn't touch on Kunark. If you still think otherwise, this is a lost cause.
If you agree following that, we have the post of a 65 cleric chain nuking Dartain down without an issue. Levels do make a difference, but they won't turn an MR mob to something you can land spells on. It's why everything that unslowable (via MR) in Kunark at 60 is still listed as unslowable (via MR) at 65.
Honestly, at this point - I'm done caring. This change is clearly wrong, and if it gets implemented for other reasons even if being wrong, whatever. I'm ok with straying from classic. However, I'm more worried about making changes with this quality of evidence and calling it classic than I am individually about Dartain.
You have a post of a level 52 (or lower) paladin posting about how a mob was "almost completely MR" to his 52-56 buddies due to not being able to stun (an unstunnable mob) or snare. It's a level 55 NPC that buffs its MR and has MR items - it's going to appear to be very MR to groups of 52-56. They even say it's almost completely MR. "Almost" meaning that someone had to have landed something. In addition, we have a 65 cleric who chain nuked the guy down. If you want to base changes on the testimony of level 52s fighting redcons with vague remarks about the NPC, that's alright - I don't mind talking about this all day.
Now, I'm not going to spend the time if you're getting patches wrong. Unlike the above, that's something that is simple and pretty easy to figure out. I don't see any reason to debate the knowledge that we already have.
TLDR: Even if you go by the 52-56 group's remarks, they still landed MR spells. People in the future also landed MR spells. Immune patch didn't touch on Kunark as evidenced by compiled NPC slow charts.
