Q u o t e:
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.
.

WTH so now engineers and Grandmaster ones only at that can access the ah in northrend yet everyone else is left out. That is an unfair tool for the engineer i dont mind thier getting access to their banks or even mail boxes like they currently or will soon have. However giving them access to the ah is not fair to the rest of the community.

If you have to give them this give them a repair bot type creation to create for ah access but allow anyone near them(faction specific) to use that Bot.

Q u o t e:

Yea, yea, yea, big freaking deal, so for those people who don't raid, we are just SOL. Figures what else is new, dro[/skin rate might as well be .0000000000001 % all I give a dam now.

Read it again. It's a really low drop % based on mob lvl and difficulty starting at lvl 70. You're an 80, surely you can kill a few lvl 80 engie mobs in northrend to up your chances (or run a 5-man to increase them some more, you don't need to raid).

It's not like the profession makes any money, bare in mind.

No. Not only did I not provide you with numbers, you're grossly embellishing even the imaginary numbers in your head. The lowest drop rate isn't nearly as bad as the rate you just conjured out of nowhere. Let the information sink in. In time, I trust you'll see this schematic is sensibly obtainable by non-raiding engineers. That said, Jeeves will certainly be most frequently used while raiding, so it's odd to expect the chances of obtaining the schematic wouldn't be increased in a raid where there are mechanical units.

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?

Mmm. Eh. Not my cup of tea, but what the hell, good.

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.

Pretty good.

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.

Good.

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.

Confirmed by a blue that it's a 'salvaged' drop, with more chance of dropping from higher level mobs, keen.

Nitro Boosts: Now have a 5-second duration.

Sorta neutral. Good for getting around.

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.

Still sort of useless.

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!).

Awfully long cooldown for a Cobalt. Maybe two minutes?

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.

Very good.

Transporter devices are no longer classified as trinkets and can be used directly from your inventory.

With the new wormhole generator, good.

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.

Also sort of neutral.

All in all, a good start, but please, keep going.

You call making more out of less useless? Okay..

The point is to have a cobalt bomb free of charge every 10 minutes.

While this looks good, I see no actual PVP buff... at all.

Some of this looks good for PVE and the like, but things like JC are beneficial in both a PVE and PVP environment.

Whatever. :o

EDIT: I should add, depending on the buffs to the rockets, my opinion may change.

There were like a million BG buffs and the arena gloves were buffed to be about as balanced as you can get with the other profession benefits, what more do you want?

In all honestly I think the rocket is more than enough for PvP.

After experiencing the Isle and the changes to WSG, I have absolutely no interest in BGs unless I must.

Like I said, depending on the buff to the rockets, I may change my mind. I don't know what the new boosts will be like, but whatever.

The rockets are just a little bit better is all, to make up for all the other professions being boosted. That's honestly enough.

We'll see, we'll see. I'm going JC/Engineering, regardless.
