Engineering

We were talking about how to revamp professions in World of Warcraft on the podcast this week, and I got to thinking about how I would do it...

For myself, I think the best time I had as a crafter in WoW was during The Burning Crusade, when I could make myself epic weapons that were on par with raid drops and upgrade them so that I could hold on to a signature weapon all expansion.

Okay, so if you're really focused on the various professions in World of Warcraft, then the last couple of expansions may have felt somewhat disappointing to you.

We don't always see the thought that goes into Blizzard's decision-making process, but the engineers on the Diablo team have given us a peek behind the curtain at something that's more interesting than you might guess: the numbers.

There are two things you should know about me before we begin: I love fishing and I hate engineering.
