The point is that there’s nothing particularly novel about the ability to escape death in WoW. There are plenty of abilities that allow that in a number of different ways.
You make it sound like we didnt have one like it before: https://wow.gamepedia.com/X'anshi,_Shroud_of_Archbishop_Benedictus
I disagree, strong/useful trinkets are really nice to have in the game. I like gear to be more than stats. Which is why I enjoyed tier sets so much.
It wasn’t in the BFA prepatch when Lightforged Draenei were one shotting groups of 5-6 Horde in battlegrounds when they died.
Alas, we are no longer in the BFA prepatch. Now it’s just bad.
use a damage or tanking trinket, and you are less likely to die in the first place AND will be more useful.
its gonna be HIGHLY situational at best, and completely useless at worst. especially if using it eats up the brez cooldown. can you imagine in a raid some baddie dps stands in the fire then pops the trinket, now suddenly the healer can’t use their emergency soulstone? if it eats the brez then they are probably gonna be banned by most raid teams. if your talking about that sun kings salvation trinket, that will probably be banned by raid groups as well, because of the aoe damage it does to the raid (your dying is bad enough, you nearly dying and injuring everyone around you is worse)
in pvp, its gonna be mostly useless as well, cuz if the other team was able to kill you once, they are gonna be able to kill you again esp at the 10% or whatever amount of health you get back from it is. unless its REALLY close, the damage from it probably aint gonna take them down either.
the only place it MIGHT have some situational use is in m+ for the healer, since its less likely for them to be stacked on other people and it MIGHT give them a safety net if something bad happens, but thats a BIG maybe, and most m+ teams would probably prefer the throughput of having a proper trinket in that slot.
might be handy in some very select world pve scenarios, but frankly, by the time you are raiding, there shouldn’t be anything out in world pve that could bring you that low on health, and throughput trinkets will be better.
TLDR: its a gimmick trinket with VERY situational uses, and you are unlikely to see anyone actually using it.
Depending on how the res actually works and interacts with mechanics, it can be a pretty niche usage.
A trinket? Excuse me?
Can I get a link or a name of this thing please?
