First off I would like to say I have been an Engineer since TBC, and for the most part I am ok with and I understand it isnt a BIG money maker. I used it mainly for PvP(nerfed to the ground now) and some PvE. In TBC and WOTLK it was nice to get a few primals from gas clouds. So now in Cata I make me the lovely Electrostatic Condenser ( http://www.wowhead.com/spell=95703 ), and find out that they have taken Cata gas clouds out, and now you get any benefit from this you must be a herber, miner, skiner( I am not either one)............ Really?!? I mean WTF!?!?!?!??!?!? Yes I know minning and engineering go hand in hand, but I have alts that mine for me.
It gets better..... In TBC and WOTLK you could make the epic helm and wear it at level 62/72 ........oh hell no......not in Cata you have to have a Chaos Orb ( http://www.wowhead.com/item=52078). Yeah you know the BoP, only drops in heroics thing?? So not only can you not make it as soon as you hit 85, but you have to run heroics and get lucky with the drop.
Did anyone else wanna rage quit engineering or was it just me? I dont get on here and QQ much but this really might make me rage quit the damn profession. Anyone else feel the same?
