they should be removed:
1) they are over powered
2) the only people who want them are the people with them ( and their argument is: get them if you dont like them) - lets think this over... maybe you don't want to have engineering as a professions, but this is a bad choice because if you're not an engineer then you're seveerley under-geared.
3) they carry bad people - people can kill others with simply these items and a complete lack of skill
4) level 85 item, simply require all the tinkers to 80 like the other ones
So a basic overall assumption is these engineering items are pretty gay and should be removed, although im getting mine now because they're so overpowered
Personally, Only time i've been peeved by Tinkers have been during shadow dances, Three 5-8k Ambushes, Partner can't even trinket. Mages freezing me, 1 second Frostbolt, Fire off an ice lance, Plus tazik.
But really, This isn't the old 'Big daddy", it isn't completely decimating an entire resurrection wave in Alterac Valley.
1) Boop, <2k hit at times, barely noticed. Only 'over powered' in the right hands, at the right times. Rogues during dance, or just rogues in general.
2) The only people who don't have them are people who just don't give a damn about their character, and want even more things handed to them on a silver platter. As it has been, as long as i can remember, Engineering is the preferred/strongest profession of most brackets. (Can't speak for anything aside from 70-74), Some professions, classes, and/or specializations are stronger then others, varying from bracket to bracket.
3) When it comes to mages, rogues, and priests, They can do just fine without it, And the mage class, as a whole, count be count as a 'carry', Toss in a tazik and, well, yeah. Two arms warriors each sportin' a tazik aren't getting rank-1-in-this-srs-brkt overnight.
4) What. The other tinkers, that require 500+ Require 75, if memory serves.
5) I honestly didn't know Synaptic springs or tazik shockers had sexual preferences.
6) Big letters. So many big letters. Why does he have to make his letters so big..?
Think that's everything, And that's just my coffee-less opinions, And stoppitz with the Big letters. Caps lock is like putting a megaphone up to somebody elses head, and screaming into it.
