Let’s try this again…

Engineering... againOkay.  Engineer ‘tinkers’ now with stats.  I posted something like this earlier today, but the PTR patch dropped and the info has changed. I’m going to take a quick look at each of those stat updates.

Springy Arachnoweave is getting buffed within the PTR from 11 to 18 spell power.  This is the only spell power cloak enchant and some might find some use in it. The materials are fairly inexpensive and if you’re looking for a small dps or healing boost, it wouldn’t be too shabby.

Flexweave Underlay has 15 agility now which is a slight buff from its 10 agility version in a previous build.  It is still 7 agility short of the big cloak enchant.  Again, a fairly inexpensive enchant and one that would be good for leveling gear as most people likely don’t enchant their leveling greens.

Nitro Boosts now provide  more crit than Icewalker.  If you’re already hit capped and looking for a boot enchant, this isn’t a shabby choice.  I imagine this will start showing up more on Ret gear both in raids and pvp.  It actually wouldn’t be a bad holy enchant either if you’re as crit happy as my holy paladin friend is.

As a holy paladin AND a (long suffering) engineer, I had to read these twice to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Spellpower to cloak? Crit to boots? Those are the two slots where I struggle to find good enchants for my healing self, and not only are those GOOD enchants, they’re crafted by engineering AND the mats are reasonable. Pinch me. I think I woke up this morning in an alternate universe.

This will be nice hopefully they add some warrior ones rather then the agility, maybe Defense and Haste…. then Boots Need the Ice walker and speed boost, maybe have the enchant you want as one of the matts? the scroll type if you may…
