Mischance/backfire
This tinker has the possibility of a backfire, resulting in the engineer being launched straight up into the air. In some cases, a slow-fall buff is applied to reduce the risk of death. In others, the distance launched is unnoticeable, appearing as if they simply failed to activate. In all cases, the cooldown period is started.
Notes
These are very useful for getting some range between you and your target.
It may be that the speed boost remains in effect until you touch ground.[citation needed] For example, if you use these and jump off from Dalaran, the speed boost might remain as long as you don't touch ground. As always when engaged in long jumps, slow fall effects (such as Parachute Cloak) would be very useful to prevent falling damage.
