Battle Resurrection (most commonly referred to as ‘battle res’) is one of the single most important aspects of a party or raid composition because of its ability to bring a player back from the brink of death in the midst of combat. Here’s every class with the ability to battle res inWorld of Warcraft.
All Classes with Battle Rez in WoW
There are two main versions ofWoW, and both differ in which classes have access to a battle res. Rather than list them together, allow me to separate the following lists for your own clarity.
Battle Res classes in World of Warcraft: Classic
In WoW Classic, the only class that can cast any sort of in-combat resurrections is theDruid, and it is quite limited in its nature. The Druid’s battle res is calledRebirthand it comes with a very hefty 30-minute cooldown once used, regulating it mostly to emergency situations only in any given encounter. Additionally, only Taurens and Night Elfs can be Druids, further limiting its overall usage.
Battle Res classes in World of Warcraft: Retail
WoW Retail is the most current version ofWoW,which is currently in the midst of its tenth expansion,The War Within.Since the days of the original vanilla WoW experience, several other classes have gained access to a battle res of sorts.
Shared Battle Res Limitations
The standard encounter limit isone battle res every 10 minutes, which lines up with every class’ battle res cooldown. There is also a maximum ofup to three battle rescasts allowed for longer fights. This limit applies to all battle res abilities collectively, regardless of the number of players who can perform a battle res in a party or raid.
