So besides the goggles for clothies what else can Engineering be useful for in Bg's, and is alchemy worth leveling at this level? Also Gnomish or Goblin?
For engineering you get lots of cool gadgets and bombs etc, which can be very good in specific situations. Can get quite pricey over time though depending on your server.
Engineering can be fun for stun bombs, though I always forget to use them. Alchemy underwhelmed me as a caster, since there are better options than the +15 primary stat from the Alchemist's Flask. Namely, the +20 int from the Elixir of Greater Intellect, and the Darkmoon Faire consumables.
