Secondary Stat Tinker Recipes

Gameplay Professions
1

For engineering to be both competitive and for goggles to be viable tinkers that provide secondary stats need to be added as recipes. They can be behind renown grinds. The tinkers really just aren’t good enough to replace all the stats lost for pve nor pvp. If they were you’d see peoples profiles in murlok using them and you don’t see any for pvp not pve.

If there was a tinker that provided an effect like the lariat, or like the unstable frostfire belt, or like the blue silken lining, etc maybe. It’s far easier to at least give tinkers for haste, mastery, verse, or crit.

You don’t lose any stats. The engineering goggles will have the same total amount of stats as a helmet at the same ilevel. Notice in the items linked below, the goggles have 346 agi, 793 stam and 626 of a single stat, while the flame-touched helmet has 346 agility, 793 stam, 313 of one stat, and 313 of another stat.

I didn’t realize that I was so focused on it being just the one stat. That I can work around with gems and enchants. Thanks for the reply.
