I’m late to this party by a few months, but I think you left off the ability for an alchemist to create and use the Endless Mana Potion (2200-3000 mana that is not consumed and has a 1 min cooldown. This plus the 40% alchemy bonus makes this very attractive. I macro this into my steady shot and only have to dip into viper for 5 seconds or so on long raid fights. I never viper on 5man pugs. That has to be worth some additional DPS as well.

if there are two hunters in group or raid, would it matter if both were survival, or would it be better to have one survival and one mm?

All in all SK and LW are good for levling if u want to use the stuff u make, but personally i have found that if you MINE and SK it will net you tons of gold then you don’t even need to know crafting profs till later. I’m lvl 30 and have made over 4000g doing this. In turn i can just buy the best equipment and and pay someone else to enchant it. I am in no way saying don’t do crafting profs, im just giving everyone another option when figuring out how to have fun playing wow and getting rich in the process.

I’m seconding Chimy’s question since it hasn’t been answered and I’ve been wondering too since this article came out. If you assume each pyro does 2000 (might be a bit lower but just a even number for easy calculation)on avg per 45 sec, that would put it at 44.444dps. Now if 80 AP is 40.32 dps, then losing the 44 AP glove chant is a loss of 22.45 dsp. So, 44.44 minus 22.45 is a net gain of 21.99 for 25 man content. If you were basing your whole reason for going eng on the glove tinker being better, then my calculations would lead me to reconsider. Personally I’m an engineer and love it for all its myriad perks outside of dps

It’s not really a normal CD, though. You know how trinkets can’t be used as soon as you equip them (you have to wait about 30 seconds or so)? That’s what happens–when I fire the rocket, it’s as if unequips and re-equips Loatheb’s Shadow.

Unfortunately enough, Bur, some trinkets do share cooldowns with other trinkets or other on-use items (or in this case, enchants). Various sites like wowhead and wowwiki have fairly up-to-date lists on which ones do and don’t. You may have found a glitch, but it’s more likely that the two simply can’t be used in conjunction with one another.

If you can’t find evidence that they share some sort of CD, I’d contact a GM to attempt to resolve the issue.

I feel I should mention something here…I don’t know if it does this with all trinkets, but if my Loatheb’s Shadow isn’t already on CD, firing my Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket will trigger a CD on the Shadow, as if I had just equipped it. (Glitch?)

Nice article Frost but was wondering why you didn’t include the haste boost from the Hyperspeed accelerator’s? Whilst I realise that the 340 haste boost they give is only for 12 secs the CD on them is only 1 min this stacked with rapid fire is a huge boost. Also just for that extra little giggle I’ve thrown the Frag belt tinker on as it can stack with an eternal belt buckle as it has no stat increase it self. I know it’s got a 6 min CD but it’s always fun to throw a bomb at the tanks feet and watch him go “What the F*** was that?”

I’ve always been LW/Skinner till about 3 months ago and then I went LW/Engineer and have found it to make a hugh difference. I make my own ammo (and I go through alot as I’m sure we all do) and can make the nice new shiney patterns that drop in Uludar and ToC.
