ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
i just want to say. I will always be an engineer! Even without making ammo psh. i never did that to make money - I just mine things to make money / do dailies.
If you really want to, the pet bombling and lil' smokey are now BOE so go make those for some cash.
Engineering is much more than that. How awesome is it that I can port to Gadgetzan, Toshley's Station, or Most of the zones in Northrend (wormhole) instantly?
I have a personal butler named Jeeves, and I also bring out my mailbox quite frequently.
Also having a AH in Dalaran is a huge plus so I can just park there and never have to leave for IF or SW or whathaveyou.
Out of my 3 80s - 2 of them are engineering. My new main thats a hunter, is already pushing 400 engineering at lvl 65. Plus with the Gnomish Army Knife, I have a way to rez people sometimes if it works too!
Plus at lvl 65 if you level up engineering to get the Frost Goggles of the.... (something like that I believe around 420 or 425) they're basically lvl 78 blue headgear that you can wear at 65!
Final words in a minor wall of text: Parachute Cloak!!!! Flexweave Underlay! That saves me so many times and makes it fun in game While you are floating down you can still shoot enemies with your gun/bow too!
That being said, I do not plan on making any money with Engineering, in fact I believe I have lost thousands of gold amongst all my engineering characters. But I do it for the love of fun trinkets/ thingys
Pyro Rocket is a fun way to get killing blows with as well. VROOM ROCKET!

Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
And honestly? The mote extractor makes MORE than enough money for me, along with mining!
Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
Come Cata, there are a few questions...
1) How good are the new goggles?.. will there be lvl 85 versions?
2) How good will the new scopes be?
3) How good will the new crafted weapons be? are they only starter epics?
and finally, 4) What are those new engineering "gems" for? looks like they might be on par with JC gems. How many does an engineer get?
Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
i'm interested to see what the cogwheel sockets and hydraulic sockets will be like. +132 crit rating doesnt sound too bad.
http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/186 ... chy-Comics
shows scopes as well too (+88 crit, +88 hit, ranged haste +88)
*drool
I'm still waiting for the Engineered crafted Flying Winnebago 5 person mount. (think spaceballs)

Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
I'm a gnomish engineer at heart, I've always LOVED the trinkets, even if they seem pointless to some people. I fondly remember getting yelled at in a Gnomer run many years ago when I used a gnomish shrink ray on a boss that instead backfired and shrunk my group. I remember trying to use a Net-o-matic projector to net a flag runner in WSG, and instead having it backfire and net both of us to the ground, and I'm laughing too hard to shoot the guy. I remember my battle chicken that hit for a whopping 1 damage per hit, before exploding for a couple hundred (to my pleasant surprise). Yep, gnomish is the best.
Buuut, this time I had to take goblin because my husband's hunter had gnomish and well, I had never tried goblin before. But I'm not into bombs, I find them cumbersome and annoying to try to throw, especially when I can auto-shot for more damage than a bomb does, and the stun doesn't really seem long enough to make it worthwhile, PLUS the enemies always run out of the bomb range before it makes contact with the ground. So yeah, maybe I'm just a bomb noob, but oh well.
I have heard that specializations will be going away in Cataclysm. Can anyone confirm?

Indeed so. They will use recipes rewarded from boss kills and dailies instead.Rhyela wrote:I have heard that specializations will be going away in Cataclysm. Can anyone confirm?

/demands Cata be done now!
Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
with the fancy Blue Snow Goggles (ilvl 183) of the Beast or whathaveyou
http://www.wowwiki.com/Mechanized_Snow_Goggles
Gnomish Lightning Generator trinket
Noise Machine trinket
and a Flexweave Underlay on cape
I love it because it makes her very OP, still contemplating whether she needs the Wormhole Generator yet, I'm thinking so...
Go Engineering!

If you are referring to my thread where I ask about the state of ammo in beta, it's not exactly an uproar. I simply mention that for the time being making ammo is a bit of a money maker for my engineer who makes arrows for guildies and friends.
And as far as I know, the Icecrown recipe arrows (I forget the name) are excellent money makers on my server. (I don't happen to have that recipe, as I don't do any dungeons).

Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
Oh no no, I wasn't referring to your thread, I may or may not have even read it. The uproar I'm referring to is just forums here and there that I visit once in a while. Seems like a lot of people are making it sound like engineering is their sole source of income, and it is a great injustice to take ammo out in Cataclysm. Sorry if it seemed I was attacking you, I certainly wasn't.Sukurachi wrote:Rhyela wrote:I never, ever take up engineering for the money. And the ammo?

Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
But yeah, it sucks.....I've done that before. More than once, I'm embarrassed to admit.

Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
I know that. My horde hunter has eng. It still makes no sense that you need 440 engineering to make it/learn it and 400 to use it ?Saturo wrote:Not just that Adam, you have to have engineering 400 to wear them. It's that way for most of the good engineering stuff.

At any rate, I'd probably leap to my death a countless number of times if I couldn't use the flexweave underlay anymore...

Re: ENGINEERING AND HUNTERS AND YOU
I dropped Skinning on my hunter a few months ago and picked up engineering just for the gadgets. I was able to feed it with a mining alt (the only think DK's are good for imo lol *runs away from angry DK's*)How awesome is it that I can port to Gadgetzan, Toshley's Station,
However, I didn't know about this, how do?
