Backfire[]
This tinker can backfire, resulting in one of the following:
- Plasma Misfire! - Taunts all enemies within 40 yards.(Including boss-level mobs)
- Magnetized! - 5 second stun in addition to the shield effect.
- Reversed Shield - Increases chance to be critically hit by 100% for 10 seconds.
Notes[]
This tinker may appear to be the obvious choice for tanks at first glance - However, each of the three possible backfires would prove devastating to both the Engineer tank, as well as their party/raid. DPS use of this tinker should be under only the most extreme circumstances due to the negative effects the AoE taunt backfire can have on most any encounter.
