"The video would have wound up being two hours long." I'm not seeing a problem there.

the video has been up for about 20 seconds when i saw it, so i will take the chance to tell Mr.Hiru that his videos are super fun to watch , and i appreciate the work you put into them

Typically development life-cycle for Blizz. Start off with something Fun and interesting, make it more effective and fun, then slowly suffocate it until its lost all meaning.

Bling - A - Tron

"Lockpicks to pick lock" shows an explosive to blow that damn thing to smithereens. I love Hiru.

The ZME was extremely useful during wrath and to this day if you want to farm the materials for the choppers. Combine it with mining and a transmute alchemist and you can farm out a chopper in 3 hours.

I dont even play wow anymore, but i still come back to watch anytime you post a video. Keep up the great work, awesome content as usual!

I mean I would really enjoy a two hour long breakdown of all the random/vaguely interesting engineering items

As an engineer since classic I really miss the funny gadgets and tinkers! They were sooo good and super useful! Today I am the only active engineer in my guild and I hope that we will get super useful stuff to play with in the next patches and addons so my profession doesn't feel useless :D

Engineering is, oddly enough, the only profession I've never fully learned/leveled in game.

History of the engineering profession. "Son where is my gold?" "WHAT IS THAT MOUNT?" "SKY COPTER MINE" -Skarm Cataclysm.

I love watching these type of videos and learning about stuff in WoW I didn't know about ^^, slowly.

Yay. Always good to see that notification of a new video. Your content is awesome. Thanks so much.

The backgrounds and music you picked for this video are nice. Good job.

I remember how godly engineering was for 69 twink death knights, bears or warriors. Mf’s had more health than a lot of the level 80 tanks and were almost impossible to kill.

i started WOW in TBC when i saw a video of a warlock walking in the desert with a mechanical dragonling. i did my research and found that it was from the Engineering profession. you can make your own stuff!?!? it sounded sooooo cool on paper and tickled my tinker fantasy bone big time. i rolled a NE druid and many alts and loved the game...but never once level'd Engineering past 100. just couldn't get into it ingame and it wasn't a big money maker...ironic right?

Literally just 2 channels where I first like (y) and then watch the video. Thank you for making awesome content throughout all these years Hiru

Love your vids Hiru! Keep it up my dude!

I would see no issue with having a two hour video reviewing all the engineering gear.

Also in Pandaria, there was an engineer-only auction house in the shrine :) Legion had one also

One of my favorite professions that i've had on my main class for over 10 years.

I would like to see a long video about engineering, but i understand why you would not do it. Great video.

Your videos are the best mate :) so relaxing and best stuff to watch b4 getting to sleep! Beats any nature documentary or David Attenboroughs haha :D

a new hiru video is the best thing to see when I open KZfaq

Your biggest fan here! I'm watching it now! Love ya dude.

As a goblin engineer, back in WoD, I sent in a ticket with a suggestion that would have carried the sky golem into all other xpacs and be profitable to engineers but got no response. I suggested that having engineers making attachments to add to sky golem to allow him to not only pick flowers but also mine and skin would have made engineers make some gold over time as gathering professions are all stuck running around with exceptions for druids and herbalist (as sky golem picks flowers) I think it would have been a great idea. Every xpac, have engineers make that xpac attachment.

I think you forgot one more Engineering bonus. There usually has been an Engineering only auctioneer in the expansion's main hub, while everyone else needs to go back to their Classic capital cities to access the auction house. (Less important now with Longbois, but still nice.)

Dude, Im in awe at your knowledge of this game. Videos are great and this "History of professions" is awesome. Its sad how Blizzard has neglected some professions like Jewelcrafting and Enchanting, they totally deserved more love and I love videos of those.

I was looking forward for this one

Correct me if I'm wrong. During wrath, Mind amplificatiom dish was a helmet tinker and Nitro Boost was boots tinker. Also they add a bit of stats alongside the tinkering effect so they don't stack with enchanting. Blizzard relocate these tinker to belt in Cataclysm and no longer give stat, but enchanting can be use this time. Also, Watergliding jets was added in mist.

I really want a video of all relevant engineering things that is still usable in shadowland

Always fun to watch these! When I played WoW I was an engineer fan. Was always cool to see what new things I cod make. Originally just took it for fun on my first character, but found it useful for ammo making. Well when that was a think and only when I had a gun. Still, was always cool to pull out s god bomb or two for variety, and always loved tbe trinkets & goggles!

I remember one time back when I was newer to the game in BC I saw someone go up to one of those cloud things and suck something out of it and I was like wtf, so I whispered him and asked what he did and he just said "You saw nothing." I asked him again and he just said "YOU SAW NOTHING!" I was actually kind of intimidated since I had no idea what was goin on lol.

love this series!

Ahhhh my fav KZfaqr uploads again! Love listening to these at work thanks for making it bearable!!

Been an engineer since Vanilla on my orc warrior. Always a lot of fun and always a pain in the ass. Especially the damn location of the forge/anvil in Orgrimmar. And then you forget some ore and had to run all the way back down again.

hiru you do know that if you made 2 3 hour videos we would watch them. Your my hangover tuber your voice heals me thanks man

Splitrift did work that everyone should appreciate. This vid took effort. All Hail Splitrift!

You missed the polymorph grenades, those were awesome, i remember using them in eternal palace

You either read my mind by making this video or I drunkenly requested it. Either way, awesome!

As of DF, the next Blingtron model is being teased at by one of the weekly engineering quests, "Blingtron 8000...?"

I actually never had a main with maxed engineering, even though I've been playing since vanilla.

I really loved the video, but im curious to what the music in the background is called. It made me very sleepy and i'd love to take a nap listening to it xD Great job as always hiru

Hiru, you spoil us with this long video

Hey man, just wanted to say your content is amazing. The amount of work you put into the visuals, editing, descriptions, audio....just incredible. Easy to understand and fun to watch. Keep it up!!

you need 30 days of crafting materials to make a sky golem, not 15

you make a video listing all the things engineers could make and ranking them.

I never fully got into engineering as I only ever leveled it on my dk which I rarely got to max lvl. For classic I did pick it up for my hunter and it's been really great so far. Can't wait for WotLK and really get some unique stuff.

From someone who used to play back in vanilla, tbc, wrath, some of cata and a little of dreanore, i got back into wow in bfa and i wish they put more time into profs to make them feel more like money making avenues

We want the 2 hour version. :)

Incredible

The Reeves combat mode pissed me off the most. It was cool and did decent damage if you knew how to use it. The problem was Blizz made it completely useless. You could not use it to complete world quests of regular quests. You could not use it in any instance and could ONLY use it on the broken isles. Something that looked cool and fun was made useless. Also it was BS when Blizz made it so you couldn't use the goblin glider in instances.

Bling-a-tron is my fav.

seaforium charge is my most favourite name. its C-4 for slower people.

Hey I managed to get the World Spinner from a guildies Blingatron, I didn’t realize it was craftable. I just thought it was just a random drop.

I hope we get a easter egg on blingatron "8000"

Where do you get your video backgrounds? They look so good

I like that nitro boost and cape gliders are still relevant all these years later wish other profs had stuff like that

I'm starting to _think_ Hiru might be a Warlock main. Not sure though. ^^

What benefit does the moving background deliver ?

the + stats for farming on the gnomish army knive doesnt exist in wrath already

The toy tab was implemented during Warlords of Draenor, not Legion.

Sadly they removed Hyperspeed acceleratiors from Hands after WOTLK.It was so good getting 340 haste active for 15sec with only 45sec cld on it.

Random Teleports just sounds fun

Achkhually... it takes 30 days to craft the sky golem and its Blingtron xD i couldn't resist.

It's funny when saw ppl's nitro boosts malfunction in BG, even if it happens to me 😂

if you only had one toon (not a gnome) would it be worth it for engineer to be one of your 2 professions? I mean for right now in shadowlands.

V arcanite dragonling I would say is more of a buffer van Guardian. The only reason why I say that the Arkham Knight Dragon link is a fire Mages best friend in AQ. The thing drops a stacking flame Buffett on the bus

I would love to see updated professions in wow classic. Classic plus, not classic fresh.

Sky golem is actually 30 days of materials. Jard's is a daily cooldown and you need 30 of them and also soulbound. Then you can pick up the 30 living steel however.

honestly thought theyre gonna talk about newton, achimedes or tesla. lol. Like when playing wow and somebody asks on chat or comms "is there an engineer here" and I just dont say anything, lol.

I've never heard this before but is there a specific reason for pronouncing Blingtron as bling-a-tron? No offense meant, just curious!

Honestly no idea where you got that the Ub3r-Spanner in bfa was in any way fun or usefull. I specifically remember that the constructs would deal less damage than a fireball at the time, while being on a 15min cd and a long cast time. You can go to the wowhead comments on the item and see that people were very much confused on the purpose of it. I think the only use found was to cheese the brawlers guild with the taunt dummy, but if I recall that was fixed some time later.

His voice is so comforting. It almost feels like a radio.

Sky Golem was 30 days of crafting, the pets/bag were 15.

Hey, nice video! You have an editing mistake at 7:01 ish if you haven't noticed.

what is a blingatron?

lol "Blinga-tron"

Not mentioning the most broken thing in WoW history, Gnomish Battle Chicken.

Fun to watch, but I must admit.. the moving backgrounds were very distracting.

can you do a history of your wow video

one thing I remmber whit the Rocket Boot enchantment for boots from Wrath was the fact that it had 3 diffrent failure effect. you catch fire and depending on patch would cause about 105% HP damage over 6 sec aka would kill you or was that in cataclysm? (first aid did not heal enouth from one tick to save you Dranaeis racial Gift of the Naaru ability did if just). secound was it launched you into the air whit no free autodeployed parashute (hope you brought your own or you be pankcake). it could also trigger the second one but you would get a free parachute even if you had no equiped and that would save your bacon. what I remmber was in the Wintergrasp PVP zone where I was Running from some Horde not sure why but I decided to use my Nitro boost to try and get away. it failed and sent me flying. the two horde player missed that I suddenly flew about 50+ feet straight up so they just continued past me looked around for a sec and continued, wondering where I went, because it just looked like I disapered for them.

I pray they remove the Engineering profession and add an Engineer class instead. My vision for it is to finally have a second class to use bows, guns and crossbows. In addition, have things like stationary turrets similar to Hunter pets, bombs, traps, etc. Maybe even a mechanic where you have to collect and store "scrap" from slain enemies or crafted from metal from mining, and that physical, bag-filling resource would be used to craft powerful constructs in battle, be able to craft things like crafting stations anywhere in the world, craft portals to specific locations, etc.

We need Cogwheels back

I didn't fiddle with engineering until about 4 months into Burning Crusade. I'd never done much research on it. I only played one character, and I already had a profession that was a money pit and a bitch to skill up (Blacksmithing) and that was all I'd been told about vanilla Engineering. Then TBC dropped and threat generation on my prot warrior main went from "easy to learn the bare minimum and that's usually good enough" to "jesus harold christ everything is awful and this is giving me cancer, I'm sure of it". I spent time learning directly from the legendary Ciderhelm of Tankspot fame, but certain things were still a *super* bitch as a warrior. Mainly in heroics and anywhere multitarget threat/pulls were involved. Then I discovered these things called grenades. Total game changer. I could pull from farther away than my gun could shoot, it did solid damage to entire packs and stunned them, allowing them to be CCed and still come after me when the CC broke. With a one minute cooldown, it was ready for each and every pull. It was wonderful. There was plenty of fun utility but the meat of Engineering started being cut away as early as Wrath---there were no grenades on launch. The belt tinker they added well into the patch cycles would have been a welcome addition but the cooldown was six minutes. At the pace dungeons and heroics went, it was pretty useless to me. In Cataclysm, there were no grenades. Just as well, I effectively quit the game entirely a month before Pandaria released.

i feel like the only things engineers do in retail these days is wormhole and press the button in De Other Side

engineering go boom.

One of the biggest reasons to go engineering for me as a hunter in vanilla was to FD and use jumper cables after raid wipes.

The mounts are the most relevant things because they still sell.

thrown weapons! thrown weapons! thrown weapons! thrown weapons! thrown weapons!

Doesnt the sky golem take 30 days to craft?

ah Engineering, i love it so... i was an Engineer since way back in Vanilla, i loved having the robotic allies... when they were viable... here's hoping that in 10.0 that this profession returns with a vengeance, as Blizzard is looking to overhaul professions in general and Engineering could use the most love.

Blinguh-tron

Much love from Ohio good sir 🙏❤

Although this is my fav proffesion ... I never dabled into it since I cant find a class to fit with it .. they really should make a thinker class or something Nevertheless thank you hiru for the great video

We all know it in our hearts that Ensidia actually got the Lich King world first kill, despite anyone's claims.

B L I N G U H T R O N

I think Hiru sticks an "A" in BLINGTRON just to make me yell "IT'S BLING-TRON, HIRU!!! THERE IS NO "A" IN BLINGTRON!!" at my monitor several times during his video. I'm starting to think he maybe has a camera in here, watching me, and just laughs maniacally every time I get annoyed when he mispronounces something because he actually knows how it's pronounced...

I had like 7 alts all Engineers just for the Shadowlands Wormhole so I could do all emmisaries as fast as humanly possible. $$$ guaranteed!!

They NEED to just make it a class
