Engineering nerfed again

[Angry Archer]

Mind control and Nitro boosts have been moved to belt slot. Why.

I could have lived with removing the passive stats since they stacked with other enchants but this is too damn far now. First they screw us out of Rated BGs now they screw us in world pvp and reg bgs also.

Stupid decision by some idiot dev who clearly hates engineering in pvp. Has to be that idiot Kalgan. This is ridiculous.

sigh almost all my toon have engineering <_<

rip engineering fun in battle grounds

as a pvp prot warrior i had trouble with dps with a healer i would just mc the healer and stomp the dps <_<

[Kalx]

I'm still trying to make sense of how a belt tinkering will make your boots catch on fire and make you run faster
the mind amplification makes a bit more sense, specially if you're an female engineer

I wouldn't mind too much if they didn't remove the passive stats. it's just doesn't make sense to balance with other professions
at least the glove tinkers are still there

Not only PVP, but the boosts seem to have a much higher chance to backfire in PVE now. I can't remember my boots every back firing in a raid before. Last night a guildie blew himself up twice trying to rocket boot out of defile.

I have literally 5 characters with max engineering and was about to add it to 2 more. I am really really pissed off about this. I dealt with Engineering sucking during the almost the entire TBC run and now we get this?

Engineering sucking during the almost the entire TBC

Well.....I agree engineering sucks not get me wrong. But saying engineering sucked in TBC.....the helm was pretty pro

Unless there are serious buffs in Cat which I highly doubt, Engineering is now possibly the single worst profession for pvp or pve, have to see how they are at release but I suspect engineering is back to the TBC era 'fun quirky USELESS' profession

The helm was good for about the first 3 months. The upgrade wasnt even added until it was pretty much over with and it was almost impossible to get.

yeah, but look at what they're getting in cataclysm, their own "gems" i think that makes up for the rocket boots issue, especially if you're also a jc.

Oh snap!

I see what you did there, sly.

Why is this change such a big deal? What can't you put on your belt because of this change that breaks pvp totally?

Like you can't use the boots in serious pvp? The protective dmg shild is belt slot... the infusion i think is belt slot. there are many things that have to go there.

Coming soon:
Parachute requires belt slot
Handtinkers require belt slot
aaaand the the belt bucket does not share with engi tinkers anymore!

and yes. I'm mad, bro!

and you wonder why stuff gets nerfed? Deserves you peoploe right to be stumbled now

[akaTheDude]

Pretty much this:

Engineering was the "fun" profession and the profession for "pvp"

BUT now they are taking the "pvp" out of it, and now the "fun" is leaving too.

Didn't even know there was a damage shield for belts...

I saw it on EJ for Tanking DK professions in cata. It looks like it was in the beta and I think its still in.

[Kelzam]

Don't really need both.

[Piptooth]

You can't use rocket boosts in rated bgs or arena. So nothing really changed. Plus we get cogwheels. 3 of them. They didn't really nerf anything your just retarded.

[willjones410]

Tough break. Here I was looking forward to using engineering in PvP.

Ah well. Instead of QQing about it, I'll adapt.

Shame the head item doesn't last till the second tier without an upgrade, so even though we get some awesome item with pro gems, it's pretty hard to keep Engineering for just that. I'd rather reroll to alchemy
