Warcraft Engineers Rejoice! New Patterns for Engineering in Wrath of the Lich King

Well it’s official, I’m finally going back to my 1st love in crafting when Wrath of the Lich King comes out. Engineers have been really hurting for a long time now with the complete lack of anything truly worth while.

All other professions have had something given to them in patches or in the Burning Crusade that have made them somewhat viable at making money as well as granting some pretty decent BOP items. Engineers on the other hand had all their best gadgets become terribly expensive and impossible to use in many situations. Not anymore.

Regardless of the materials required for some of these enhancements, engineers are going to be the wave of the future in your typical Horde or Alliance soldier.

  • Scrapbot - Creates a mechanical vendor that buys anything. The scrapbot leaves after 5 min.
  • Nitro Boosts - Permanently attaches overpowered nitro boosts to a pair of boots, allowing a skilled engineer to greatly increase run speed for until cancelled. The nitro boosts can only be activated every 5 minutes.
  • Gnomish Lightning Generator - Generates a bolt of lightning to strike an enemy for 2250 to 2750 Nature damage. This entire device is made of metal, and the bolt occasionally hits you.
  • Belt-Clipped Spynoculars - Permanently attaches a pair of spynoculars to your belt, allowing you to see far away. Only a skilled engineer can use the spynoculars.
  • Flexweave Underlay - Permanently attaches a flexweave underlay to a cloak, allowing a skilled engineer to turn the cloak into a parachute to fall slowly for 10 sec. The cloak can only be used every 5 minutes.
  • Heartseeker Scope - Attaches a permanent scope to a bow or gun that increases its ranged critical strike rating by 40.
  • Micro Stabilizer - Attaches a permanent micro stabilizer to a bow or gun that increases your ranged hit rating by 40.
  • Hyperspeed Accelerators - Permanently attaches hyperspeed accelerators to a pair of gloves, allowing a skilled engineer to increase their haste rating by 340 for 8 sec. The gloves can only be activated every few minutes.
  • Personal Electromagnetic Pulse Generator - Permanently attaches a high-powered device to your belt, allowing you to stun nearby mechanicals. Only a skilled engineer can activate the modified belt.
  • Saronite Grenade (45 yd range, instant) - Inflicts 540 to 900 Fire damage and incapacitates targets for 3 sec in a 3 yard radius. Any damage will break the effect. Unreliable against targets higher than level 90.
  • Saronite Bomb (45 yd range, instant) - Inflicts 1125 to 1875 Fire damage and medium siege damage in a 10 yard radius.
