Why you should level up Engineering in TBC

While Engineering is not the best profession for gold making, it has other positive aspects to it. Since TBC, Engineers can harvest Primal Clouds in Outland Zones to gather Primal Essences. In Addition to this, Engineers have many useful tools for PvP and PvE, like dynamite, a parachute, Rocket Boots, Portals to the Goblin Cities, and many more.
