Simple Really, why can’t all healers have battle Rez. Doesn’t mean the other classes should lose it, but all healers should have it and it shouldn’t be on a long CD either.

i believe it’s for balancing reasons.
also, remember remember the Cataclysm complains: All classes being homogenized and losing identity.

FFXIV, a superior game, does it. So yeah why not.

uh…typo ?
Balance how though, to always bring a druid?
The “identity” of a healer, realistically all the classes of a healer easily explain why they can rez so I don’t see it as an issue to simply allow it to be used in battle as well.

if all healers have it, no healer stands out. so the remaining abilities become the only exclusion criteria.
for M+ for example, the question becomes: which healer does most dps? We need that one every time since the healing’s about the same.

By your logic give all classes stealth, give all classes instant mount, give all classes heals, give all classes ranged attacks, give all classes melee attacks, give all classes to all races and vice versa, heck why stop with just battle rez. You’re logic is flawed and diminishes the flavor classes have with their special abilities and gives them uniqueness.

I believe it was by design so players would only take druids and death knights into dungeons.
Why can’t all classes regardless of Spec have a battleground resurrection? A little imagination and it can be possible. Warrior uses a Valkyrie Battle Cry to resurrect a dead player. Trust me healers would not complain if this was implemented. The dungeons, raids, battlegrounds and more would be a lot easier!

I agree every class should be able to do the same things. Differences are not fair and I want my mommy.

sounds just like a druid
Homogeneity in an RPG is a bad thing

Druids bring Brez. Monks bring damage buff. Shans bring Hero AND an interrupt. Priests bring Fortitude. Paladins bring…something?
The point is, different healers bring different utility that can also be covered by another role. As long as tanks and DPS can Bres, there’s not a compelling reason to give it to all healers.
Having said that, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing it happen. Particularly as part of a 10.0 talent tree system where you can slot healer utility as an either/or with, say, Hero, Bres, Interrupt, etc.
Another thread about this?
A difference between the two is in Final Fantasy XIV ONLY healers (as of now, four jobs) have it with a lot more repercussions to it (debuffs, MP cost, etc.) whereas World of Warcraft has it limited to (at present) three classes. The encounter designs also vary heavily between the two, further compounding the in combat resurrections.

I remember the before time in the long ago when Druids didn’t have a normal rez, just the battle rez with a CD.

Interesting idea, especially with the talent revamp where there may be an option to opt out of the battle resurrection.

Shouldn’t you be on the FF forums instead?

and battle rez had a 30 minute cooldown.

Why not both? Just because someone plays one game doesn’t mean they can’t play another. Of course I’m assuming the aside was made mainly in jest, but even if it was serious it doesn’t mean World of Warcraft isn’t enjoyable for him/her.

they’re probably either dead or depressing.
wow gc is always leet.
Every single person already can rez if they go Engineering. They really should make those items usable by everyone but let Engineers make money off selling them
