Engineering for Mages?Follow

Engineering offers very little in the way of PvE other than the ability to lay down repair bots in raids. Its more of a "fun" profession or one geared more for PvP

and the injectors. The teleporters to more locations.

Are there any goggles for mages? how are they?

I get engineering for twinks, good head pieces, and bullets for hunters. The bombs and explosive sheep are fun. If you are not going to stay low leveled, I would wait. Yes, my mage twink is an engineer 165 skill.

If you've got the money, engineering is the best profession to have while leveling the lower levels.

You've got dynamite & bombs for area damage and stuns, mines for singles, and target dummies for when you're over your head. You also get to get headgear and trinkets earlier than usual.

I find Engineering very useful for my Mage. The Holo-gogs are terrific, but the Frost Grenades are even better. I'm Frost spec and the Frost Nova effect of the Frost Grenades help to proc Shatter, which is amazing. So, with engineering, you'd have your Frost Nova, your Frost Elementals ranged Frost Nova, and your own ranged Frost Nova. It's a very powerful Frost Mage ally.

If you've got the patience and money to level engineering (it's not for everyone!), then it's a lot of fun. Target dummies, like the above posters mentioned, are a life-saver! Also, you get various mechanical critters that can fight for you for a short period of time (your very own pet!), like a dragonling or battle chicken. You can't make much money in Engineering. Some things sell well sometimes, but not always. I usually have good luck selling scopes and the various guns. But lately the guns and higher-level bullets have not been selling on my server. Once you get to Outlands, the Mote Extracter is just about the coolest thing ever! And all the different goggles you can make are often nicer than what you can find at that level. As a Rogue, I don't care for the bombs 'cause it draws too much aggro, but lots of people do like them.
