Facts!

I would have watched it for two hours LOL

Thanks!

I mean, it does pick the lock does it not?

@@hirumaredx It does, by the fact that you have to pick up the pieces of the blown up lock. =D

I appreciate that!

Huh they didn't neglect them They provide quite a power boost with no risk Now look at something like archeology it itirealy has no use in shadowlands

We have a few people who work on the channel, covering a wide scope of knowledge in the game, a lot of it being my manager. I am really glad you like them, as videos like this always take a long time!

@matt alan what prof? Archeology Or jewel crafting and enchanting Since both of those things provide quite a bit of a boost to your power It would be kinda odd if you forgot about then

@@becjed1701 I might be wrong, since I dont currently play. But hasn't enchanting become largely cosmetic like inscription? Can´t jewelcrafting gear be replaced with raid gear, plus now you cant socket anything? This is an interesting conversation to have, like by what percentage does a maxed profession boosts your performance.

@@ggamesgamerson7166 you can socket helms necks gloves belts and rings and wrists (from just 3 of them I get a 13% speed boost GREAT for kiting) and theres enchants on cloaks chests rings and a prime stat specific peice of gear giving around 45 prime stat from 2 enchants a 5% prime stat proc for weapons along with other things Without all of them it would be around a 3%-8% damage loss in total depending on the spec They are the main 2 specs to boost power with engineering being mainly a utility boost and make gold due to everone wanting the enchants and gems It's just with gems you add them with items or get them randomly instead of it being 100% (aside from crafted legos)

There's one in Shadowlands as well.

Wotlk too in dalaran

Yeah 100% forgot to include that, but engineering has a history of having unique engineering only auction houses, as normally players need to go to old zones to use auction houses, with the current major cities not having them. Wotlk=dalaran Mop=Shrines Legion=Dalaran BFA=Boralus/Zuldazar Shadowlands=Oribos The other expansions just had normal AH's.

Yeah they’ve had these for a while. Shrine, dalaran, boralus, oribos now

That's true BUT he was talking about things engineers crafted.

haha, loved it in dalaran!

Fantastic idea! Here’s to hoping we get that someday!

U r right

Same^^

But thinked about trying it for 15 years now..:p

What's wrong with you?

Me neither but I started in tbc. I love the combo of enchanting-jewelcrafting way too much to give up for engineering. I love earning heaps of gold than having cool toys.

I started playing at legion, my main had engineering and mining but I was too smooth brain to understand anything about professions

Classic hunt with engi is broken lol basicly got my epic mount for free cuz id spend 4 hours a week farming ammo mats lmao

Me? No. My Editor for this video, and Channel manager? Yes.

We got those stats in prepatch to end of naxx then they removed it

This is an awesome idea! I’ve never leveled Engineering, but I’d play that class in a heartbeat! :D

Writer of the script did a lot of world pvp and is an engineer main, has always loved the thing, and actually it did do pretty decent damage, idk where you got the idea it does less damage then a fireball.

repair bot is also highly demanded

@Rose's Zen Garden incorrect, BFA had Arch as well, maybe not as pronounced, but it was active then. i get why First Aid got axed tbh, Tailors had to fight hard to keep Cloth stocked and they werent always making Gold like other crafts, so they merged FA with Tailoring, so now Tailors no longer have competition and they get easier level ups. that being said it makes sense that Arch isnt active, since we're in the afterlife, The First Ones isnt enough to carry Arch in a compelling way. in any case i see Arch rebounding soon, and if Blizzard tries to shut it down, we'll prevent it, we wont be ignored with Councils being public.

(note I quit in Cata). I think a massive problem is that Engineer had all the powerful engineer items (that only engineer could use). for example 99% of all the blacksmith items could be sold to other player there was few Requires Blacksmith to use items. like I could see Grinding stones exists as regular but Blacksmith could craft a stronger version that only black smith could use. now could they cast said effect on other player or only on themself. I remmber thinking about diffrent crafter applying diffrent buff to the veacles in Battleground. like a blacksmith gets extra armor, achamist makes the Flametrower stronger, enginner gets a faster rate of fire (exept on the flametrower), Letherworker adds HP or something.

@@Zack_Wester , well it might shift the meta around a bit, and give more options which would be more interesting and a lot more fun, but a meta would remain. Blizzard would have a new thing to balance, which could effect both PvE and PvP, and since every spec can pick any possible profession whichever is the top will be taken by everyone. Best case scenario different professions are best for different specs so not everyone takes the same thing; but still the illusion of choice because power is involved. Technically you can do what you want, but looking at data from things like covenants means most players will make the meta choice. This might be a hot take, but I don't think professions should give combat bonuses or advantages of any kind over another (ex rocket boots/belt) and I don't think racials should exist. There are VERY few RP choices in the game, race and professions are two of them, and if we freed them from power it would be an actual choice. Other RP choices like class and spec cannot be separated from power, so we wouldn't have many options of places to do this to begin with. I think the ones we have should be taken advantage of and maximized. That's my spicy take, but like every design decision you pick your poison; there are trade offs that come with every design choice good and bad. I think the one good argument you commonly hear against my take is it is removal of things that are "fun." I would actually agree, I just don't think this is the area of the game to put that kind of fun interactions by tying them to customization choices (agency and customization are two big draws of the genre and that would limit choice). I think that sort of thing is best reserved for the other things... like for example the world; basically all of the fun things about using the items could be greatly expanded upon and built into the world and how you interact with it. That would be part of a big push to make exploration worth it in these games and a big part of that is just finding fun things out in the world. New mechanics and items to interact with can be a lot of fun... and it is fun that is out there in the world to FIND; not something you queue for or have to schedule... something organic that makes different places distinct and memorable. It's also something everyone would get to play with, so it doesn't provide distinct advantage over someone else and create imbalance. Anyway, that's my two cents. Your idea definitely has some strong points as well; I especially like how different items could be of more use to different specs, which could help shore up a weakness that spec has and could be used as a way to keep class design unique. I just think especially something as complex as balancing PvP can easily be skewed and an extra stun or movement ability is very powerful in this context and can be the difference in the outcome of an encounter between players. Especially since you are forced to deal with the effects of gear, and of the different mechanics of different classes, you want everything else to be as even as possible to give you a chance in hell of balancing it all. XD

Pally and rouge and dh works well due to nitro boots and gliders (Gliders are faster then glide for dh by a lot)

@@becjed1701 i meant from a RP point of view .... canonical engineers in wow are usually just that. ... at best a hunter mechagnome fits but ... its still a hunter

@@ipsyc eh rouges fit since they can gadget to stealth and assassinate people
