    Think of them as a get out of jail free card. Don't use them for normal movement, only use them if you are boned if you don't. That way if they fail you didn't lose anything but if they work, well, they saved your ass from being roasted.

    If your a goblin and they fail, use rocket jump. Problem solved and you moved to where you want to go.

    Exactly. This is what high-end raiders have been saying about them all along.

    Like on Al'Akir, if they explode, they'll blow you over the tornado wall, and if they don't, you can run around it. Win-win situation.

    I wouldn't mind something like the frag belt, where it had no chance of failing, but was very situational.
    The invisibility is pretty useless in any context other than BGs or world pvp, no use pve. The shield is too scary to use, I don't want to risk taunting everything.

    But yeah, I want my rocket boots back ): I remember people laughing when I used them every other (I forget what the name is called) Ice Explosion on Sindy, but I never died XD and no one laughed at the hunter disengaging!

    I'd like to see a new cloak enchant too. The old one was pretty useful, but it requires farming Northrend stuff, but a new one with something different would be cool, like a disorient on a fairly long cool down.
    The best PvE belt enchant, if you don't want to worry about anything failing is the cardboard Assassin 77k health cardboard shield for you, saved my raid once, when our tank died on Halfus.

    The biggest PWND I got from these was in 10HC Lich King months ago. Escaping from a defile, having to run around all the puddle, I activated them and fled high to the sky. Then, near the "roof" of the instance, VALKYR CAUGHT ME. Of course, nobody could do anything, I enraged and decided not to use them again. Some of my friends have the video where I appear flying up high and being caught, I don't want to see it T_T

    Yep. The Nitro Boosts are terrible. I tried them in a raid and went to the shield after dying on the first use.
    There are so many frivolous things in this world.
