About Me
Eyy eyy eyy. I'm segWAY, but you can call me JT (as does everyone else.) I enjoy gaming on my PS3, XBOX 360, and various other consoles, but gaming is only a bit of who I really am. If you want to know more, the message button is only a scroll or two away :D.

Engineers Getting Some Well-Deserved Perks
segWAY | 1:27 PM on 07.01.2009 6 comments


From Zarhym, Blizzard Moderator and Community Manager writes this about the upcoming 3.2 patch and what it has in stock for engineers, who have been shafted with many "nerfs" and "perks" that have never really benefited the Engineering community:

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.


These are major improvements to the profession, and some might say that they MIGHT compensate for the nerf of not being able to use the Epic Engineering Goggles' effects in WoW's PvP arena anymore (before this nerf, they were the best in slot for PvP, for it's use of stealth detection.)

You know, I've never really felt shafted by Nerfs. Mildly chaffed by the diminished returns/non-scaling on the Gnomish DeathRay. Overall, I've been pretty heppy about engineering, especially with stuff like this.

A re-useable Repair Bot and portable Auctionhouse?! SICK!

Separately, I'd love to hear more of your personal opinion on stuff segWAY. Its great getting a little wow news in my destructoids, but I already get that from worldofraids! Moar commentary, please (I think)?

I picked up engineering before BC finished and went dual-production on my Paladin, Engineering/Blacksmith. It's been a challenge but it's so worth it, especially when I get access to toys like this.

If you would like to talk more about WoW, feel free to message me. As for my blogs, I'm mainly a WoW player, thus my blogs will almost entirely be about WoW.

Oh no no, please talk about WoW! Its your blog after all. I mean, that's not what I was getting at. I realize re-reading that how it sounds wrong.

I'm interested in more of your opinion about WoW stuff! Your blogs are very newsy, well written and appreciated! But I'm personally interested in commentary.
