After several attempts to balance the Nitro Boosts ability in the arena, we have decided that we currently do not have an acceptable solution. Until we are able to better balance this ability it has been shut down in the arenas. We fully plan to continue working on this item and we intend to adjust it in upcoming patches.

can you at least put in a vendor that will refund 2000-2500g and take away engineering? or at least give us some stats like every other profession

oh and nerf jewelcrafting.

Please, explain your reasoning, or give engineers refunds. I thought engineering was fine, just neglected even through 3.1

Now we're just being abused.

We have plans to make certain that this item is still worth the investment made in it. So don't vendor it just yet.

What's so unbalanced about it in the first place?

what about jewelcrafting?

it still gives more stats than any other profession because you can ignore meta socket requirements and get socket bonuses you normally wouldnt get

Exactly how long will this be? How long are you going to make us be stuck with the most useless proffesion in game until we can see if its worth keeping over jewlcrafting or somthing far more beneficial?

You realize the only reason everybody spec's into engineering is to get an edge in arena. And unless it's put anywhere else but arena no one cares.

Please elaborate, 99% of people leveled to Nitro Boost to use in arena, so how exactly will you make it worth the investment?

I'm part of the 1%, but I use it as if I was in that 99%. Therefore, once again...

I concur, I have yet to meet a majority of people that complain of nitro boosts.
