So the 3 tanks in RGT are also engineers. 2 of which use Grounded Plasma Shield on their belt.
Engineer belt tinkers have a chance of going wrong.
Backfires include
* Plasma Misfire / Painful Shock (taunts everything)
* Magnetized! (basically a stun)
* Reverse Shield (100% chance for things to critically strike you)
So the question is .... how often do you use it and how often does it backfire wiping the raid?
I use the nitro boost simple because I can AMS the debuff away, so the only side effect is that I get no boost.
I don't know, and neither does wowhead, if I can AMS away any of the above debuffs mainly because you always get the shield even if it backfires.
I use the shield a lot and have never noticed a backfire.
I went over all the raid logs this month. Use use it on average 4 times a night and have had 1 backfire, plasma misfire which is an aoe taunt. In FL with our solo tank bosses this is hardly critical. Hal hardly uses his (but to be fair he doesn't raid as much) and didn't have a backfire.
I'll change to it and see how we go!
I try to use it more and more but since my memory is as it is I normaly forget :P
Atleast you would remember to hit the gong on Atramades at 1%, mate.
Lol, Puja... You reminded us of this so many times its totally stuck! :-)
