Currently I have 300 Eng. I was think about dropping it for Ench.
A little info -- currently I am in no guild. The server I am on (moonrunner) is older, but i can never find an enchanter when I need one. I am currently a lvl54 hunter, so farming for some green/blue items should not be a problem. This is my 3rd char above 50 and I have about a total of 500G between all my chars. Also with the current plans that I have for Eng., none of the items sell very well (big money sink). My other profession is Mining.
Just looking for a few opinions on the subject.
Thanks for your input.

Drop Eng for EnchantFollow
I woulf hold of for a few weeks. According to the oboards Engineering is getting a rejig soonish.
Enchanting is a famous money sink which to get to a reasonable level will take a mammoth amount of greens/blues to D/E or a big pot of money.
I took it up at level 29, big mistake, dropped it to get my 2 gathering profs back a few levels later.

I have enchanting on my first (and only) WoW character. The situation might be different because I'm on a new server, which started in Oct 2006. I realized how to make money with enchanting not very long ago, independent of the wonderful discussion on this forum. Basically, I was doing SM and offered to disenchant the BoP blues that nobody wanted. The small radiant shard sold for 7g. That's when I started disenchanting for small and large radiant shards, scanning level 40-55 blue armors and weapons under a certain value. I have since refined my strategy with the must read guide on this forum. For example, on Friday, I quickly scanned the AH before questing, and bidded on everything between level 41-50 that's 60% below the highest sellable price calculated by enchantrix. I got a large amount of greater nether essences and dream dust, and I made 30g. The reason I limit the scan to level 41-50 is just that it's my character level. I'm also looking for things to waste money on :) Others on the forum say you can apply this strategy on items of all levels. And if you have the time, you can scan all item levels everyday.
If you want to make money with enchanting, use it as a gathering profession. I also have herbalism, but I think I make money more efficiently with enchanting than herbing. I just need to compare the time it takes to scan 5 or 6 pages of the AH to getting on my mount and run around several zones looking for herbs.

I have looked on the first 2-3 pages in the tradeskill portion of the boards and have not found info/rumor about an Eng. redo (I would really love for there to be one). If you have a link or any other info, please pass it along.

I understand that Enchanting can be a big money sink (one of my alts was an enchanting mule before the blizzard fix). I understand that none of the early enchants (few exceptions) even sell.
However I currently have Eng. and the only thing that I have used it for is guns and bullets (which are very easily picked up elsewhere). I have not made any of the trinkets which require tons of mats to produce. Alot of the items produced can only be used by other engineers (which they can usually make themselves). So just like Enchanting -- alot of money in, not much coming out. I know that there are some plans that can produce items that sell for a decent price, however I'm not in a raiding guild and therefore no access to these plans.
Example
This is a BOP plan from Molten Core. I have the MC attunement on exactly 0 of my 3 characters above 50 (60, 59, 54). Now I know that there are some enchanting plans that are BOP as well --
Example
But there are a lot more enchanting plans that are rep rewards as opposed to eng plans that are rep related. It also seems that enchanting is a more complete profession than what engineering is at the moment.
If anyone else has anything to add, or if my line of logic is all screwed up, please let me know.
Thank you.
IMO if you have the cash to level it and are looking to take it up for fun rather than funds it would be ok to switch to enchanting.
I haven't found to very enjoyable getting to 225 with enchanting though, it seemed a lot more fun levelling up alchemy/tailoring on alts than enchanting.

AWESOME!!
Thanks for the links. So looks as if I will be keeping eng. for a little while at least and see what happens in the next patch.
Engineering still allows characters to have incredible gear at relatively low levels. For example, a level 59 can go into the 50-59 WSG/AB with +90 stamina from trinkets, Blue or Purple Burning Crusade-powered headgear, and/or a level 75 Arcanite Dragonling (ow!). Not to mention Adamantium Grenades.
