Upcoming Engineer Changes

Engineering

Added a new Mind Amplification Dish attachment for helmets, allowing engineers to control other humanoid targets. Some restrictions apply: does not work in Arenas, dish sometimes reverses targets, unable to stack with other stat-improving head enchantments and makes your helmet look... stylish?
Added a schematic for a Goblin Welding Beam that can heal friendly mechanical or vehicle units.
Alarm-o-Bot functionality changed. Materials required reduced.
Box of Bombs no longer requires an anvil.
The Cobalt Frag Bomb now incapacitates enemies within a 3-yard radius. A short cast time was added, but they are usable while moving. This change applies to any Cobalt Frag Bombs already created. The existing recipe now makes 3 at a time.
Engineers can now learn to create a portable Wormhole Generator for Northrend. The Wormhole allows them to travel to different locations in Northrend, although the locations are sometimes in dangerous places.
Increased benefits from Hyperspeed Accelerators, Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket and Reticulated Armor Webbing glove modifications.
Increased the passive bonuses provided by Springy Arachnoweave, Flexweave Underlay and Nitro Boosts.
Increased siege damage caused by Saronite Bombs and the Global Thermal Sapper Charge.
Mote Extractor now has innate tracking for gas clouds while it is in your inventory. Tracking of gas clouds has been removed from goggles.
A new repair bot has been added, and his name is Jeeves. He is the ultimate gentleman robot butler, able to perform all the mundane tasks of repairing, selling and buying junk for your entire raid. Additionally, he can open bank boxes for skilled engineers (350+). Jeeves is not destroyed when used, but due to pressing engagements, can only be summoned once an hour. The schematic for this handsome robot was said to be hidden within the parts of another robot – hoping to be found by an engineer one day.
Nitro Boosts: Now have a 5-second duration.
Potion Injectors now increase the amount gained by 25% when used by engineers. Quantity produced by recipes for Runic Healing and Mana Injectors has been increased.
Reduced the materials needed to create all engineering Dragonlings, and reduced their cooldowns, although they still cannot be used in Arenas.
Significantly reduced the cooldown on MOLL-E.
The Spynocular belt attachment has been changed to a Frag Belt. The Frag Belt periodically produces a Cobalt Frag Bomb that can be used from the belt every 10 minutes (never runs out!).
A Steam-Powered Auctioneer has been added to the Dalaran Like Clockwork engineering shop, allowing access to one's faction Auction House. The Steam-Powered Auctioneer was programmed with a superiority chip, and will only interact with Grand Master engineers.
Transporter devices are no longer classified as trinkets and can be used directly from your inventory.
The Ultrasafe Bullet Machine and Saronite Arrow Maker schematics have been simplified to create a full stack of the appropriate ammunition. No longer requires an anvil. Reduced the materials required to make this ammunition.

Comment by 235494This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by nerkelI still wonder how much gold can be made via Mote Extraction..

On topic though, this seems nice. I wish they would implement new goggles designs, but never look a gift horse in the mouth, I suppose.Comment by jjuurriijjWonder what Jeeves will look like... Im almost sure it will be a mechano-gnome in tuxedo set.Comment by rnbwHehe when a few days ago the profession changes for the other professions were revealed, everyone was QQ-ing about how they left Engineering behind and how all he other professions are sooo much better than Engineering and always have been. Now they get an AH in Dalaran (seriously what's so big a deal about that?) and suddenly Engineering is "OP" and it's unfair.

QQ more... but I'm glad Engineering gets some useful improvements. :)

Edit:
Oh btw, that Jeeves will "Grant Bank Access"... does that mean Engineers now basically have a mobile bank, and once-per-cooldown a gazillion extra bag slots? Because that is very nice.Comment by KikiTheManThe schematic for this handsome robot was said to be hidden within the parts of another robot – hoping to be found by an engineer one day.

Hmm....another robot... Mimiron / XT anyone ?Comment by 401577This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 160231This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 127599This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by JalenMwahahah

P.S. my toon called Anzac in one of the Oceanic realms can make those choppers, pst me, call me or mail me to make one for u :DComment by ToldryI will not be satisfied untill I get to make a sentry, a teleporter and a dispenser.Comment by BlletsI will not be satisfied untill I get to make a sentry, a teleporter and a dispenser.Comment by Chadliuis is this a dreamComment by AdimaxI love the changes but have a bad feeling about the Dal AH access one. Non-engineer people will spew an uncountable amount of ^&*! on the Blizzard forums over this. This taxes faith in humanity, and Blizzards track record for caving isnt exactly sterling.

Still, very cool stuff, very needed... and welcomed for now.Comment by 109094This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 319743This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by KittyKat77OH my!

I am just... in awe.

Jeeves! I MUST have this one.

And an eng-only AH in Dalaran! That's incredible.

For once I am not sorry I stuck with engineering (I had already maxed it out before I hit 80 and found out my profession's raiding benefits were precisely squat). I was so tempted at one time to drop it and go with JC, but now! I will actually be the envy of my friends for something besides a rolfcopter and a pair of stylish but barely practical goggles.Comment by 299915This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 260641This post was from a user who has deleted their account.
