"Bother!", said Pooh, as he read Babe Bridou's latest post to
alt.games.warcraft.
Post by Babe BridouI've asked myself the exact same question, and seeing as my character
(holy priest) lacks AOE attacks, I've taken the Goblin path. The goblin
dragon gun is really fun :) It's on a 5 minute cooldown, so you can use
it regularly if you want. The mortar has too short range, and recharging
it every 6 uses makes it a bit painful. Now goblin sapper charges...
it's a blessing if you have ways to mitigate the damage done to
yourself. I use those whenever I can afford (PVP mostly), instant crit
for 1200-1300 damage in a 10 yards radius, makes me feel good when
zerged by millions of astranaar guards, especially when I finish them
with the goblin dragon gun (AOE DOT, 61 damage per tick for 10 seconds,
*can crit*) :) Goblin engineer is mostly for showing off purposes.
Remember, you can still use gnomish non-bind on pickup items!
Now the utility items (goblin rocket helm and boots), I haven't tested
them yet.
Big warning: Goblin engineer is currently bugged. If you haven't got
access to Runecloth some way or another, you can't complete the quest at
all: it requires 30 runecloth instead of 20 silk because of a bug in the
schematics for solid dynamite introduced in the last patch. That bug
should be fixed in the next content patch (battlegrounds).
My engineer is a Warrior. (Already have a 60 Paladin with 288
Blacksmithing, didn't want to duplicate). One thing that I've really
discovered with my Paladin is that a plate-wearer that can AoE is just a
thing of beauty. I've been using Crystal Charge from Un'Goro
http://wow.allakhazam.com/item.html?witem=11566 with my Paladin, and it's
*really* nice, but I hate having to run to Un'Goro to replenish all the
time. But that plus Consecration is really quite nice. Especially some
instance fights, like Mother Smolderweb in LBRS.
But, just for a second, imagine the sheer *glory* of a Protection spec
Warrior, Gobline Engineering, tossing out The Big One
http://wow.allakhazam.com/item.html?witem=10586 or the Goblin Mortar
http://wow.allakhazam.com/item.html?witem=10577
Come get some.
