Here are a couple of additional changes coming in 3.2 that are not yet in the PTR patch notes:
Using engineering bombs should no longer remove a druid from any druid form.
Engineers will now be able to switch between Gnomish Engineering and Goblin Engineering for a fee.
about time, hoping this level of attention continues so we can have a nicely rounded profession ^_^
also hoping that it doesn't take most of the next expansion before we are brought into line with other professions again as it has here
things that would be nice to have looked at:
the various think-tank threads, there is a lot that for obvious reasons cant be implemented, but still some good ideas personal favourites :
holographic projector - mirror image without the damage, the clones do random things, or may turn you into a tree etc
anti-gravity boots that let you jump like the jumpbot
invisibility cloak tinker
reduce cooldown on parachute cloak/ buff duration, i know its meant to be timed so you use it just before impact but given the amount of cliffs and other steep terrain changes in northrend, it can be problematic to time correctly (also wtb a spectral griffon in every zone am tired of dieing on cliffs and being unable to access my body)
given the amount of engineering abilities that are available to other players through rep items and for free, will engineers get new and unique things to distinguish the profession?
the ability ro remove the curse of flesh but only use attacks based off engineering items would be good updates to pets trinkets and the like would be very nice,
do the dragonlings need to be trinkets given they give no stats at all, perhaps implement scaling stamina similar to the way heirloom items work based off eng skill or lvl...
can we have the chopper looked at, cause atm its just a very expensive mount and given it shares the same price as the tundra mammoth can it not share the same functionality ie repair/ vendor or even gain something new and unique? also please stop with the mounts they don't make up for neglecting the rest of the profession
more things sell able to non engineers would be good ie nitro boosts are banned in arena, i don't arena, but wouldn't a better solution have been to make them boe and not require engineering so engineers can sell them to any player who wants them, i don't see why classes that lack escape tools should have to do without if they choose to pick them up over other enchants
edit: added more stuff
