Seems like I am stuck with the crit one but anyone else have any tips for this on when to say use the helm over another one?
Also any thoughts on which ones are good for PVP would be great. (Can chime in on pve also lol)
Not to sound like a douche or anything but…are engin helm even worth it? Unless a new recipe came out, all the helms I recall being able to make were worse than any azerite helm.
and now that I say that…dont you want an azerite piece for you head over and engineering item?
unless you speaking for a lower level character
There are some updates and some of the traits are good. Or so they seem 
They have step ones 385, 400, 415.
I guess it’s debatable if they are better if you have some of the best ones. Why would you sound like a douche lol.
Well if they go to 415 and have azerite traits, guess that can be ok / good.
Just through they were still max like mid to high 300s.
Due to me not knowing what/if they changed…didnt want to sound like, “noob, you dont even make the engin helms.”

Icy-veins indicates that Lava Shock got nerfed and that Igneous Potential was better now but no idea if that’s up to date.
Haste is also a preferred Pvp stat for Elementals according to both guides and the which makes the second ring RNG trait a good choice. After that I would go with the Absorb trait or Crit trait.
Thanks on the research; though you might have noticed he isn’t engineering. I was asking for my ret alt
