New engineering items are coming in War Within! This includes the return of the better Battle Rez and the return of the Failure Detection Pylon!
There are many more but here are some of the fun new toys for Engineers!
In Dragonflight, it was really difficult to get a Battle Rez as a non-battle resurrection class. This was because the only brez was as an Engineer Tinker and it could only be placed on Engineering crafted Bracers — which took a Spark. These Sparks were limited and thus, it was very difficult to get Battle Rez until late in the Season and usually costed some throughput.
In Shadowlands, we had the Disposable Spectrophasic Reanimator which required you to be an Engineer but if you were an Engineer it was much easier to get.
Coming in War Within, it looks like the Battle Rez item is getting some massive quality of life changes — there's no Engineering requirement and it's back to being an item!
There are three version of this item: Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables, Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables, Convincingly Realistic Jumper Cables and it seems like the only thing that chances is the cast time!
Back in Battle for Azeroth, players had Failure Detection Pylon which allowed people to have Wipe Recovery in raids and dungeons and were constantly used after «Death Skips» with the huge bonus of being able to be used by everyone. In Dragonflight, we had S.A.V.I.O.R. which did the same thing but was only usable to Engineers.
In War Within, a new version of this item is only available to Engineers. It's only able to be placed outside of combat, but will likely be able to be activated in combat.
I hope Blizzard considers making these available to non-Engineers so that they're used and players don't feel forced into Engineering.
On a break in your raid or Mythic+ spam? It always sucks to loose time on your flasks or Well Fed buff. With this new addition, any player can
