So I'm really happy with engineering.

Here's a link to one of my guys with the head piece: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...etcakez/simple

Looking at that, I think i'll stay with eng. Thanks for the info. That belt is great for bursty incoming dmg.

Honestly, after looking at the perks I dropped 450 Eng on my DK's and pleveled JC up to 500. Here's the skinny:

You can't use ANY of the Engineering perks that get attached to your armor in arenas or rated BG's. No 18k shield on your belt, no Tazik Shocker on your gloves, no parachute cloak, no nitro boots. Period.

The Cogwheel sockets are just for the epic Eng helm. It's nice, but next tier there most likely won't be a new helm and you'll want to replace it.

That means for pvp Eng is basically the worst profession right now. Sigh.

Haven't leveled the Engineering yet, but was planning to.
This primarily for BG's/Rated BG's, but if you cannot use the toys, what's the point?

Currently sitting at 5x Alchemy 525 and 1x Enchanting, 1x Herbalism, 1x Mining, 1x Skinning, 1x Open.
I don't farm much, but figured get some Herbs/Ore, while leveling.

The Tazik Shocker actually does work inside rated arenas as do the Synapse Springs, however the belt shield does not (I just confirmed this in a rated match a few minutes ago). Any item with an on use Engineering enhancement will say "not usable in arenas" in red text when you highlight it during an arena match, but the glove enchants indeed work. I am not sure what to make of this text as it was also on every other on use item I had, including both trinkets...one being a Medallion of the Horde. :confused::confused:

It's very possible that the glove enhancements are not suppose to work, yet they are due to a bug...however I have been able to find any official statements on this one way or the other.
