Question on Goblin or Gnomish EngineeringFollow

All bullets are universal,

If you read the trade skill stickes you can get a idea what each spec makes, while i will admit it is not as up to date as the game,yet that dont matter. You are not even close to 300, much less the 310 or so you need to be to even start to worry about TBC stuff(that is less spec dependent anywho)

I am likely one of the only folks left happy with the trade, and i can say that in all honesty the diffrences are not terribly relevent.... In the long run.

for example when you first choose, there is no question in my mind that Gnomish is better(it all boils down to the Damage you can do at level 35 with a death ray). in time the diffrences fade(the player starts outdamaging the Deathray).

If you have a buddy who is gnomish goblin will be fun for you, for example you cannot make a net gun, but if you look close, the net gun dose not require gnomish spec to use, jsut to make, and it is not BoP, meaning you can have your buddy make you one(now this thing is usefull till the 50's)

in the end they both have some neat stuff, while you miss out on the Poultryiser(gnomish spec, can make and currently it is BoE not BoP) you get to make
Goblin Rocket Launcher
Binds when equipped
Trinket
+45 Stamina
Requires Engineering (350)
Requires Goblin Engineer
Use: Fire a powerful rocket at the enemy that does 960 to 1440 damage and stuns them for 3 sec. This thing has quite a kick though...
Cooldown: 5 min

Tenjen, in the end there becomes one question, more or less consumables?
(Be aware I talk in Trends and Tendencies, there are exeptions to almost all cases)
This is not like weaponsmithing or Armorsmithing(but I will admit the 300-375 push for eng is way harder than the 0-300 gambit), I have always found Engineering to be a reletivly low stress profession(mostly because Engineers are not AS fixated on making Coin with the trade and are out to serve themselves with it)

First thing to keep in mind about the two diffrent specs, the diffrences are huge at level 225-270 then they almost become the same trade again untill you get a few diffrences in the outlands. I am going to make a bold statment, and i am sure some folks will not agree with me but out of the "First" batch of spec spific items, No (BOP) Spec spific peice of gear will sevirly alter your gameplay at level 60 or beyond(the new stuff is a slightly diffrent story, mostly due to the fact i do not have a goblin engineer past 315, only gnomish)

So it is all about some fun, Goblin Spec tends to focus on blowing crap up(and I like that) While Gnomish tends to build overcomplacated ways to hurt our targets.

One thing to keep in mind is the trasnporter, Each spec can make 2 transporters, that take you to 2 seperate locations, for example goblin spec engineers warp to everlook while gnomish spec goest to Gadget....

Unfortuanly i can not tell you what spec is Better,Since I think there is little diffrence byeond symantics and a few items that become quickly outdated(why obsess over the Gnomish Death ray when you can do the same dammaeg with a WF strike?). if you are just fishing for a awnser? Go goblin, they have some fun explosives.
