Is engineering of any use in arena?

It seems to me that they nerfed engineering so hard in arena that it’s actually worse than having no profession at all. I understand rocket boots not being allowed there, but someone told me the engi rocket gloves dps tinker doesn’t work either.

Is this true? If so, the average engineering guy will have to go into arena either with no glove and boot enchant of any kind or do without them in bgs and the like. Same goes for parachute cloak.

I guess eventually we can grind enough honor to buy two sets of gear, but it is a real hassle early in the arena season. Seems like an overnerf.

Till it’s live nothing is set is stone. We don’t k ow exactly what they did but they did say Eng will be nerfed in Eng exactly what was nerfed is not clear.

As it stands the only confirmed items not in arena.

  • Gnomish Lightning Generator
  • Nitro Boosts
  • Gnomish Net-o-Match Projector (BC item)
  • Hyper-Vision Goggles (BC item)

Anyone telling you anything else is speaking out there butt as blizzard has not mentioned any other item or hinted at it but that’s subject to change.

I wonder what peoples problem is with the lightning generator. It’s not “that” good. Those other things are game breaking in arena though.

Not one complaint was seen about it as far as I know. Blizzard added it as blizzard logic.

Arena launched 2 days ago.

rocket gloves work and basically every person is using them, parachute cloak works too though I don’t think it’s very useful if youre not a hunter.

Good to know, thanks. Guess my friend was wrong.
