The War Within Early Access is officially live and players are already preparing for the new raiding season. To help, we have compiled a list of professions that we recommend Raiders pick up to help them with their raiding endeavors!
Alchemy is one of the most popular professions among Raiders for a handful of reasons. In The War Within, Players have the opportunity to increase their Flask duration through Specializations. Allocating 5 and 15 points into Fantastic Flasks will increase their duration of Flasks and Phials by 50% each time, totaling a 100% duration increase.
Additionally, Alchemists will have the chance to create Max Quality Soulbound Flasks and Potions every day for their personal use. Putting 20 points into Bulk Production (Flasks Tree) will grant the Player a chance to create a Soulbound, Quality 3 version of the first flask they produce per day. This means if a Alchemist crafts a Flask of Alchemical Chaos as their first flask of the day, they may receive a Fleeting Flask of Alchemical Chaos that they can personally use. Alchemists can also allocate 20 points into Bulk Production (Potions Tree) and they will be guaranteed 5 Soulbound, Max Quality Potions of the first potion they craft per day.
Engineers are known for their variety of gadgets, and that is no different in The War Within. Similar to Dragonflight, Engineers can produce a new Battle Rez device, Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables, however, this item does not require Engineering to use. Instead, Engineers are the only players who have access to Irresistible Red Button, a device that can resurrect your nearby allies after combat.
Tinker Modules are also back in The War Within. Players who plan on using these modules may want to consider picking up Engineering for their Specialization bonuses. Instead of having to invest in a Recalibrated Safety Switch to reduce their malfunctions, they can put 30 points into Tinkers to have the same success chance bonus.
