So don't listen then. People say the same about totalbiscuit, and yet he has had hundreds of thousands of hits. The "Back" and "Home" button give the internet user of today a lot of flexibility, in which they can stop watching at any point.

How about you make your own?

Lol that blanchy quest line commenter on the video is making me puke. All I hear is "good family, good people, blah blah blah"
Way too biased review,, just playing the darn thing isn't an option I guess.

I would appear that poor Lou really put his foot...

... in his mouth XD

some good engineering stuff glad i stuck with it on my rogue

*sigh* Okay Captain Brilliant, Let me tell ya a few things.

For one, the enchants are almost guaranteed to be placeholders at this point. Most of them have the same values as their current Wrath counterparts, so it's pretty damn obvious.

And for two, if you'd actually read, you'd notice what others said about the goggles. The blue and yellow sockets are probably placeholders for the new Engineering "gem" sockets (for lack of a better term) since the goggles are such a high level and have no rating stats. With defense being removed, you will be able to gem the melee DPS goggles accordingly to make them either DPS or Tank-based. Same goes for the healer/caster DPS goggles.

The irony in all the TB comparisons is that TB is the one who discovered hired and then helped train me over at wow radio back 'in the day'

I guess Hydraulic sockets will be made by Goblin and Cogwheel by Gnome engineers. Poor Bloodsail Admirals...oh thats me.

Grind your steamvault cartel reputation back to neutral...

How are Goggles the Profession "perk" for engineering?

Our true perks have been Our glove, belt, boot, and cloak enchants and our gadgets. Goggles have nothing to do with it and are comparable to the BoE gear available from the other production professions.

The main question is are the belt pots share the CD with other pots.

DLC wins again! lol

I love the fact that engineering becomes somewhat usefull again. however unless those gems becomes usable by non engineers so engineers can sell them for profit (make them work like dragon eye gems for non JewelCrafters. Not as powerfull obviuslly.) Engineering do need some form of selling capabilities.

Oh, And what would be a better ide to call the "gems" or "enchants"..

GEARS!

Engineering never really was about profit and never should be. Even so... there are many things that engineers can make for profit and will continue to do so in Cataclysm. Pets, scopes, guns and now bows. Zapthrottle also rocks...

WoW, what a perfect time to decide to reroll engineer.



But... but why Blanchy...? :'(

Why does it seem fewer and fewer people are actually interested in engineering being fun instead of it being comparable to other professions on boring data spreadsheets or whatever?

I don't want +stat gems, I want fun and perhaps ultimately useless gadgets.

Blizzard is trying to make it so that all professions give the same stats across the board.

Don't worry, engineering will still get something mad (like the Mechano hog :P).

Man, some of you people play with some shitty people. Laughed at or told to change??? Hahaha stop pugging with 12 year old raid leaders for christ sake. It's sad that they have to balance with this kind of bullshit in mind.

Wow, so much for Blizzard's garbage about "we want you to make your own choices and not just use cookie cutter setups." The boost to potions means that engineering is going to be required across the board in every single serious raiding guild now.

Umm.. not sure if you know this but eng have always gotten that. Runic injectors? Ever heard of those? Why are people so dumb as to post qq about blizz and a buff before thinking/researching?

not a fan of the new armor hand enchant. the current one isn't a 1min CD for 12 seconds. wtf blizz.

engineering is still fun and has a few gadgets right now i still enjoy a lot. jeeves is just the shit, honestly.

Wow does the itemization really look lame and homoginized. I really hope gear choices aren't going to be so narrow.

I didn't know this earlier.. but I really know for sure now.
Engineering people are retarded, can't think for themselves, don't understand common sense or logic.
I did not know it was this bad.
Have a nice day.

With a profession that could go farther than any other with ideas, they give us this so far.
