2. Engineering
Engineering is widely regarded as The PvP Professionâ¢. Seemingly everything it produces has an excellent use in PvP, and it produces a wide variety of items. Exploding Sheep, dynamite, grenades, and bombs are all extremely useful in PvP for various reasons, and the trinket pets can add a little extra DPS here and there. Itâs an obvious choice for Gnomes, and itâs the profession of choice, unless you want something from Blacksmithing, or youâre Tauren and want to take Alchemy to take advantage of Cultivation.
Engineering produces these Bind-on-Pickup items:
Gnomish Death Ray â Activate to channel a spell, causing damage to you, then cause severe damage to target. Damage dealt to you determines how much damage is dealt to your target. Trinket. 5 minute cooldown. The Death Ray is one of two reasons people tend to take Gnomish Engineering over Goblin Engineering. When you activate the trinket, you begin channeling a short spell (it canât be interrupted or staggered, though stuns and such will stop it cold) that causes a variable amount of damage to you in a series of ticks, then it fires a beam that causes a devastating amount of damage to your target. How much damage that beam causes depends on how much damage you took during the channeling process, and it can inflict anywhere from 500 to upwards of 1500 damage. Additionally, this attack can crit, and there have been several people witnessing and/or being victimized by crits that have dealt more than 5000 damage. On top of this, the attack canât be avoided in any way; the only way to avoid it is to stun the person before they finish channeling the spell.
Gnomish Net-O-Matic â Activate to ensnare your target in a hooked net, rooting them to the ground for 10 seconds. Trinket. 10 minute cooldown. Like most other Engineering gadgets, the net gun can (and often does) backfire in a variety of ways. Besides firing normally, the net gun can root you instead, or root both of you in place, side-by-side. While itâs pretty useful, Iâve never seen a reason to need it, since we already have two potent snares.
