Engineering~ Gnomish or GoblinFollow

So what's the difference between them? Also, if you're gnomish engineering and your duo partner is goblin engineer, can you use each other's devices?

My husband and I are both engineers and undecided which way to go, not knowing what either of those two paths do.

All engineering items only require an engineering proficiency to use, its not specific to specialisation. So generally you can equip each other with each others created equipment. Theres two items (that Im aware of) however that are BOP so as soon as you make they are soulbound. Goblin Dragon gun and Gnomish Deathray.P

The difference between the two - Goblins have more direct "firepower" gnomes have some very unique and fun items. Each has its place whether you PvP or PvE.

Other than that you can have the best of both worlds. Personally Id keep one of each. Goblin engineering seems to be the minority of the two. Ive never had problems finding anyone to swap my goblin items for gnomish. I also know people that struggle to find a goblin engineer to swap with and some of the goblin items require recharging or rebuilding by a goblin engineer.

Having both would also eliminate the annoying downtime when one of your other spec devices explodes and needs replacing/repair.

It appears I mislead you on one thing. The trinkets made by gnomish and goblin engineers can only be used by that specialist group. Ie Gnomes to Gadgetzan and Goblins to Everlook.

tho its a great shame, you cant trade goblin engineering stuff to gnomish engineers and vice versa. ive been a gnomish engineer for ages now and tho it seems to cost me a bomb at AH for comps, its sooooo much fun. id recommend it to anyone who doesnt mind having the gadgets backfire around 1 in 10 uses (teleported in mid air, shrink ur own party, death ray reflected back etc) its fun but a little unreliable. IMO goblin engineers just make bigger, better bombs and im happy enough with the regular ones. if u dont mind being poor as a church mouse and u want to have a lot of laughs, go for gnome.
