Copied from my thread on the official Professions forums:


Flexweave Underlay: 23 Agility + 30-second parachute (60s cooldown)
Springy Arcanoweave: 27 Spellpower + 30-second parachute (60s cooldown)
Hand-Mounted Pyro Rockets: 1654-2020 damage (45s cooldown)
Hyperspeed Accelerators: 340 Haste for 12 seconds (60s cooldown)
Reticulated Armor Webbing: 885 Armor
Mammoth Cutters: 1 Saronite Bar, 1 Volatile Blasting Trigger (makes 1000)
Saronite Razorheads: 2 Saronite Bars (makes 1000)
Nitro Boosts: 12 Crit and 12 Hit plus 5 second speed boost (3m cooldown)
Goblin Beam Welder: Restores 7000 HP to a friendly mechanical target over 10 seconds (2m cooldown) - CONSUMABLE ITEM (30 charges)
MOLL-E: 4h cooldown

Engineer "enchants" still don't stack with real ones

Goblin Beam Welder: CAN be used on friendly siege engines in Isle of Conquest (probably also on Ulduar/Wintergrasp). CAN be used while riding passenger on a Demolisher - didn't get to passenger on other vehicles. Requires 410 skill to learn, 400 skill to use. 6 Saronite, 3 Crystallized Fire, 3 Crystallized Water to create one (30 charges).

Secondly, asking me to make sure I have a specific piece of loot for you is something like saying, "Excuse me ma'am, I'll be mugging you when you're carrying your groceries to your car tomorrow night.  Could you please make sure to wear your most expensive jewelry?"

Nice, thanks for that list. Wish they'd make some upgrades for the goggles as well!

While not worse, they certainly still aren't worth the +40 stats that every single other profession is getting.... .. .. ..

Simply put, show some DPS effects on a rogue from using the glove enchant / using attack power enchant. You'll find the come out pretty close.

Thus, engineering isn't worth 40 stats still.

Sadly enough I agree.

They may have made many changes but they pretty much all amount to nothing.
I like the enchant changes though.
The boots in PvE will come helpful in fights where theres alot of catching up to do.
More time on boss = more dps

We got buffed. Now our cloak and boots enchant are on par with the normal ones+effect(parachute\nitro boosts). Well, the cloak enchant grants +1 agi than normal enchant(22), but one point doesn't really make a difference. I guess this point came from rounding numbers.
While the nitro boosts CAN be useful in some way or another, the cloak one doesn't really have a use.
Adding 2 seconds for Hyperspeed Accelerators isn't bad.

Lets not forget guys that these enchants have been upgraded along with all other professions' enchants, thus this is not an Engineering buff, this is a comprehensive buff for all of the professions.

Unfortunately, that means we are in the same place we were before.
Any theorycrafters to support\contradict me?

+8 stats from epic gems.
The ONLY reason for buffing all of the professions is ONLY because BS's got buffed by the +8 stats the new Epic gems are going to give their extra sockets.

+2 sockets = +2x20 = 40 stats.
So, all other professions will be changed to give +40 stats as well.

Except engineering, as usual...

Engineering is seriously the red headed step child of wow professions. It never fits into their plans and they're always beating it for being bad.


Though I do think people underrate nitro boosts a little in pve. Such life savers.

Right, I think the only spec that can justify keeping engineering at all is tanking, as the armor to gloves is still a great enchant and significantly better than any enchanting option.

For anyone else, engineering is just bile-chokingly awful.

Except other profession bonuses stack with a normal enchant.

While the Engineering one doesnt, making it half as useful.
