| − | '''Engineering''' is a primary crafting [[profession]] that can create as many useful and amazing items as it can create junk. Engineers can create helpful items for generally all classes to be used in [[PvE]] or [[PvP]]. To counterbalance this usefulness, most items crafted by engineering require engineering skill to use, and many of these items come with a chance for unexpected backfires with often hilarious results. Hunters in particular see much use for engineered [[gun]]s, [[bullet]]s, [[arrow]]s, and [[scope]]s. |

||
| + | The flamewakers are among the most feared elemental guardians in the Firelands. Shannox is no exception. Serving as the chief hunter and kennel master of Ragnaros' [[hell hound]]s, Shannox patrols the elemental realm with his two most ferocious beasts: [[#Riplimb|Riplimb]] and [[#Rageface|Rageface]].<ref>[[Encounter Journal]]</ref> |
||
| − | Engineering profession [[recipes]] are known as [[Schematics]]. The most notable of these are: |
||
| − | *{{loot|epic|Jeeves}}, providing repair services to everyone and bank access to the engineer. |
||
| − | *{{loot|Common|Gnomish Army Knife}}, allowing a chance of [[resurrect]]ing a player on a long cooldown. |
||
| − | There are also several engineer-only [[enhancer]]s to boots, gloves, belts, and cloaks (including a well known parachute cloak enhancement). |
||
| + | ==Abilities== |
||
| − | Grand Master Engineers have access to an auction house of their own faction in Dalaran by visiting {{npc|Horde|Reginald Arcfire}} or {{npc|Alliance|Brassbolt Mechawrench}} in the engineer shop [[Like_Clockwork|Like Clockwork]]. (Each of these NPCs are visible only to members of that faction.) |
||
| + | *{{abilities|Immolation Trap|Shannox launches a fiery trap at a random player's location. The trap arms after 2 seconds, then detonates when either a player or one of Shannox's pets steps over the trap. Immolation Trap inflicts 75000 Fire damage, 20000 Fire damage every 3 sec., and increases the target's damage taken by 40% for 9 sec.|image=SPELL_FIRE_FLAMESHOCK}} |
||
| + | *{{abilities|Crystal Prison Trap|Shannox launches a prison trap at a random player's location. The trap arms after 2 seconds, then detonates when either a player or one of Shannox's pets steps over the trap. The Crystal Prison trap encases the target in a block of magma crystal, preventing all movement and any other action. Destroying the crystal prison frees a trapped player.|image=SPELL_FROST_CHAINSOFICE}} |
||
| − | For the Alliance faction, [[Gnome_(playable)|Gnomes]] benefit from a +15 racial bonus to their Engineering skill. |
||
| + | *{{abilities|Arcing Slash|Shannox inflicts 125% of normal melee damage in a 120 degree cone up to 10 yards in front of him, and inflicts Jagged Tear on his current target.|image=ABILITY_THROW}} |
||
| − | ==Companion Skills== |
||
| + | **{{abilities|Jagged Tear|Shannox's Arcing Slash leaves a Jagged Tear that inflicts 3000 Physical damage every 3 sec. for 30 sec. This effect stacks.|id=99937|image=ability_gouge}} |
||
| − | By far the best option for your second primary profession is [[Mining|mining]]. The vast majority of the materials you need for Engineering recipes are acquired through mining. The only other profession that might be mildly beneficial is [[Skinning|skinning]], since a small number of engineering recipes use leather. |
||
| + | *{{abilities|Hurl Spear|Shannox hurls his spear at a location near Riplimb. When the spear lands it inflicts 120000 Physical damage to all enemies within 3 yards and 50000 Fire damage to all enemies within 50 yards. The spear strike also triggers a cascade of molten eruptions around the impact location, inflicting 76000 Fire damage to enemies caught in an eruption. Riplimb will then break off from combat, fetch the spear, and return it to Shannox.|image=SPELL_NATURE_EARTHBIND}} |
||
| − | Note: If you have an [[alt]] with the [[Mining]] [[profession]] (such as a [[blacksmithing|blacksmith]]), and that character can pass materials to your engineer, then the [[jewelcrafting]] profession would be a good secondary profession. This is primarily because most engineering items only require skill in engineering and are not level dependent, and the engineering skill can be rapidly advanced by making blasting powder, dynamite, and bombs for personal use. Thus, low-level characters can equip themselves with powerful engineering gear, making leveling faster and easier. This also gives such engineers a distinct advantage in low level battlegrounds (such as [[Warsong Gulch]]) as they will be far better equipped than comparable non-engineers. Jewelcrafting can then be used with the same basic materials to craft early rings, amulets, and trinkets - making the character with this combination even more powerful. In addition, jewelcrafting allows [[prospecting]] raw minerals to produce gems, which are used quite extensively in engineering schematics. |
||
| + | *{{abilities|Frenzy|When the players defeat Riplimb or Rageface, Shannox enters a frenzy. This increases his Physical damage by 30% and attack speed by 30%. This effects stacks twice.|image=SPELL_SHADOW_UNHOLYFRENZY}} |
||
| − | [[Draenei_(playable)|Draenei]] and [[Blood_elf_(playable)|blood elves]] have the advantage of starting in an area where both of these skills can be readily trained. Other races can fairly readily make the trip to the necessary cities for [[jewelcrafting]] training without much risk. |
||
| + | *{{abilities|Magma Rupture|Once Riplimb has been slain, Shannox drives his spear into the ground instead of hurling it. This attack inflicts 50000 Fire damage and increases the Fire damage taken for all players by 40% for 1 min. The spear strike also triggers a cascade of molten eruptions around the impact location, inflicting 80000 Fire damage to enemies caught in an eruption.|image=SPELL_FIRE_VOLCANO}} |
||
| − | == Schematics == |
||
| − | Schematics are learned mostly via trainers all over Azeroth and Outland, but more recipes can be taught by schematics sold by vendors than any other profession. |
||
| + | ===Riplimb=== |
||
| − | == Specialization == |
||
| + | Riplimb will attack the target with the most threat. |
||
| − | Engineering, like [[Tailoring|tailoring]] and [[Blacksmithing|blacksmithing]], has the opportunity to specialize in one field or another. Engineering has the option at skill level 200 to specialize in [[Gnomish Engineering|Gnomish]] or [[Goblin Engineering]]. The main difference between both sides is the location of their respective teleporters and the ability of their trinkets. Some items require a specific specialization to use, while other items are crafted by one specialization but are usable by any engineer. Fortunately, most recipes that are crafted by one Specialization can be used by both. |
||
| + | In Heroic Difficulty Riplimb cannot be permanently slain while his master lives. When his health reaches zero, he will collapse for 30 seconds, and then reanimate at full health to resume fighting. |

| − | For more information, read the respective pages for [[Gnomish Engineering|Gnomish]] and [[Goblin Engineering]]. |
||
| + | [[File:Shannox.jpg|thumb]] |
||
| + | [[Image:Stub.png|20px]] |
||
| + | There are three things to worry about during this fight. Traps, Tank debuff stacks, and raid damage. We will briefly go over each mechanic and how to mitigate it. |
||
| − | All in all, both Engineering disciplines are useful and fun. Some believe various Engineering gadgets, such as the {{loot|Rare|Goblin Rocket Launcher}} or {{loot|Rare|Gnomish Poultryizer}}, are excellent for use in PvP given their crowd control potential and stamina boost. That being said, many people don't take Engineering until they reach max level and have ample gold saved because of the fairly steep expense involved in leveling it. |
||
| + | ===Traps=== |
||
| − | === Switching specializations === |
||
| + | Shannox throws traps around. Don't walk over traps. If a doggie is chasing you, walk the dog over the trap. Crystalline traps have a dark red crystal in the center. Immolation traps have the familiar flame dancing in the center of the trap. The Riplimb tank must develop the ability to distinguish the two. |
||
| − | {{Patch 3.2|note=Gnomish Engineers and Goblin Engineers can now switch profession specializations for a fee.}} To do so, you must travel to the hut of Narain Soothfancy in the far north-eastern corner of Tanaris, just north of Steamwheedle Port. Read the book "Soothsaying for dummies" on the table in the hut and it will give you the option to unlearn your current specialization. The fee is 150 gold. Once you have lost your specialization you will need to speak with the specialization trainers in Gadgetzan for [[Goblin Engineering]] or Ironforge/Booty Bay for [[Gnomish Engineering|Gnomish]]. |
||
| + | When a dog runs over any trap it gains a {{abilities|Wary|id=101670}} buff which prevents it from being affected by other traps for a while. Riplimb often gains Wary once he completes a spear fetch (because there are tons of immolation traps lying around). Also, a few seconds after Shannox performs Hurl Spear, Riplimb will gain {{abilities|Dogged Determination|id=101111}} that prevents him from being immobilized or slowed below 65% of his normal speed. This small window is when Riplimb can be kited (preferably into a Crystal Trap) to increase Shannox' spear downtime. |
||
| + | ===Tank Debuffs=== |
||
| − | Some Notes: |
||
| + | Shannox and Riplimb can be tanked but not taunted. You'll want one tank on each of them and no tank on rageface. Both Shannox and Riplimb place a stacking debuff on the tanks that must time off to be cleared. Riplimb will place the debuff when he attacks, Shannox will only place his debuff while he holds his spear. Keep Shannox and Riplimb a good 20-30 yards apart, but not too far that Shannox gets separation anxiety. |
||
| − | *You don't need to complete the quests associated with your new spec. |
||
| − | *You will forever lose any quest patterns or specialization patterns. You'll lose specialization specific recipes unless you switch back and re-acquire them. |
||
| − | *You may have a hard time learning quest reward recipes, as you'll lose them too, and have to find someone to trade you their quest reward recipe (if it's not soulbound). |
||
| + | Shannox will throw his spear to Riplimb. The spear will explode in fire. Riplimb will then pick up the spear and bring it back to Shannox. It is during this "fetch it boy" stage that both tanks can clear their debuffs. Riplimb can be slowed. Shannox can be kited for more time. Riplimb can be kited into a crystal trap but it must be done quickly. If the tank doesn't kite Riplimb into a trap before Riplimb begins his fetch cycle, he becomes immune to traps. It is not required to cleanse the buff every time he throws the spear, but it makes the fight much easier on the healers. |
||
| − | == History in the World of Warcraft == |
||
| + | Getting the Jagged Tear debuff to fall off requires a combination of |
||
| − | === Patch 2.1 === |
||
| + | * luck regarding how much time is left on the debuff when Shannox hurls his spear |
||
| − | In [[Patch 2.1.0]] came a major overhaul to the Engineering Profession to increase the usefulness of the profession. Among other changes, Blizzard created 11 Epic Helm Schematics, {{loot|Common|Frost Grenade}}, and an Epic Gun - {{loot|Epic|Gyro-balanced Khorium Destroyer}}. |
||
| + | *distance between Riplimb and Shannox |
||
| + | *distance between Riplimb and the spear (which can be increased by kiting Riplimb after the spear lands) |
||
| + | * and time Riplimb is stuck in a crystal trap. |
||
| + | If one of these time-eaters is missing or too small, the other factors must be increased (tank Riplimb farther away, kite him away from the spear impact zone). |
||
| + | ===Raid Damage=== |
||
| − | These Schematics are available from faction [[Grand Master Trainer|Grand Master]] [[Engineering Trainers]]. |
||
| + | During this fight your raid will take damage from Rageface. Both placing immolation traps on him (thus allowing easier stopping of face rage) and placing him in crystalline traps will reduce the sporadic raid damage. Shannox cleaves and traps can wipe you if you get hit by them. |
||
| + | ===Kill Order=== |
||
| − | Engineering skill 350 is not the only pre-requisite: Depending on your class you may craft some (but not all) of these goggles. For example a Paladin can make all 3 plate options but none of the cloth, leather or mail ones. However below is a listing of Epic Head items that can be created at 350 Engineering skill between the classes: |
||
| + | I have heard people have success with multiple kill orders. Rageface caused the most problems for us and so the kill order we took is as follows: |
||
| + | Kill Rageface right off the bat. |
||
| + | Kill Riplimb with Shannox down near 30% but kill Riplimb before he hits 30% |
||
| + | Kill Shannox |

||
| + | ''Alternative Strategy'' |
||
| − | With these adjustments, the Profession was reborn into an attractive alternative since all 11 helms are comparable to [[Tier 5]]. These goggles can be equipped at level 62. |
||
| + | There have been reports of tanks that can ride each others agro so well that they effectively tank swap both Shannox/Riplimb. While this strat has proven successfull for some, it greatly increases the amount of damage taken to the tanks (Dog doesn't have a long "fetch it boy" phase) and complicates an easy fight. |
||
| − | === |
+ | ===Alternate Kill Order=== |
| + | If your raid has issues with tank death once Rageface dies, often due to Immolation traps hitting the tank, it is possible to alter the order slightly. Burn Rageface to about 30%, then move your melee to Shannox and your ranged to Riplimb apart from a couple heavy-hitters, who stay on Rageface to break Face Rage. Arcane mages are a very good option here, with Marksman hunters being a decent backup. Once Riplimb and Rageface are both under 10% and Shannox is close to 30%, both dogs are killed off in quick succession and Shannox is then burned through the remainder of his health. |
||
| − | Some notable changes in [[Patch 2.3.0]] include: |
||
| − | * Potions injectors ({{loot||Healing Potion Injector|Healing}}, {{loot||Mana Potion Injector|Mana}}) no longer require Engineering skill to use, making them somewhat more salable. |
||
| − | * A number of miscellaneous new recipes were introduced: |
||
| − | ** [[Flying Machine]] mounts were added, the {{loot|rare|Flying Machine Control}} and {{loot|epic|Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control}}. Engineering skill is required for them to be used. |
||
| − | ** {{Item|Adamantite Arrow Maker}} and {{Item|Adamantite Shell Machine}}, which make 5 charge devices that create stacks of arrows or bullets (respectively). |
||
| − | ** {{Item|Field Repair Bot 110G}}, much like the {{Item|Field Repair Bot 74A}}, but allowing cheaper repairs. |
||
| + | This allows all healers to move from other targets to the Shannox tank at the same time, simplifying the healing. However, this does increase the risk of deaths to Face Rage if the assigned dps are out of range or otherwise unable to act. Note that the exact percent health Rageface should be left at, as well as which dps go where, depends greatly on both your raid composition and the performance of all dps. |

 Shannox | |

| Race | Flamewaker |
| Level | ?? Boss |
| Location | Firelands |
- "The ferocious flamewakers of Firelands are terrifying enough, but Shannox has brought companions to his side in defense of the Firelands. This mighty hunter will require that you find a way to deal with his blazing pets before he burns you to a crisp.[1]
The flamewakers are among the most feared elemental guardians in the Firelands. Shannox is no exception. Serving as the chief hunter and kennel master of Ragnaros' hell hounds, Shannox patrols the elemental realm with his two most ferocious beasts: Riplimb and Rageface.[2]
Abilities
Immolation Trap — Shannox launches a fiery trap at a random player's location. The trap arms after 2 seconds, then detonates when either a player or one of Shannox's pets steps over the trap. Immolation Trap inflicts 75000 Fire damage, 20000 Fire damage every 3 sec., and increases the target's damage taken by 40% for 9 sec.
Immolation Trap- Crystal Prison Trap — Shannox launches a prison trap at a random player's location. The trap arms after 2 seconds, then detonates when either a player or one of Shannox's pets steps over the trap. The Crystal Prison trap encases the target in a block of magma crystal, preventing all movement and any other action. Destroying the crystal prison frees a trapped player.
Crystal Prison Trap- Arcing Slash — Shannox inflicts 125% of normal melee damage in a 120 degree cone up to 10 yards in front of him, and inflicts Jagged Tear on his current target.
- Jagged Tear — Shannox's Arcing Slash leaves a Jagged Tear that inflicts 3000 Physical damage every 3 sec. for 30 sec. This effect stacks.
Arcing Slash
- Hurl Spear — Shannox hurls his spear at a location near Riplimb. When the spear lands it inflicts 120000 Physical damage to all enemies within 3 yards and 50000 Fire damage to all enemies within 50 yards. The spear strike also triggers a cascade of molten eruptions around the impact location, inflicting 76000 Fire damage to enemies caught in an eruption. Riplimb will then break off from combat, fetch the spear, and return it to Shannox.
Hurl Spear- Frenzy — When the players defeat Riplimb or Rageface, Shannox enters a frenzy. This increases his Physical damage by 30% and attack speed by 30%. This effects stacks twice.
Frenzy- Magma Rupture — Once Riplimb has been slain, Shannox drives his spear into the ground instead of hurling it. This attack inflicts 50000 Fire damage and increases the Fire damage taken for all players by 40% for 1 min. The spear strike also triggers a cascade of molten eruptions around the impact location, inflicting 80000 Fire damage to enemies caught in an eruption.
Magma RuptureRiplimb
Riplimb will attack the target with the most threat.
In Heroic Difficulty Riplimb cannot be permanently slain while his master lives. When his health reaches zero, he will collapse for 30 seconds, and then reanimate at full health to resume fighting.
- Limb Rip — Riplimb savagely bites his current target, inflicting 130% of normal melee damage and inflicting Jagged Tear.
- Jagged Tear — Riplimb's Limb Rip eaves a Jagged Tear that inflicts 3000 Physical damage every 3 sec. for 30 sec. This effect stacks.
- Frenzied Devotion — Riplimb enters an unstoppable rage if he witnesses Shannox's health reach 30%. This effect increases Riplimb's damage dealt by 400%, attack speed by 200% and movement speed by 100%.
- On heroic mode, Frenzied Devotion is replace with Feeding Frenzy:
- Feeding Frenzy — Riplimb's successful melee attacks increase his physical damage dealt by 5% for 20 sec. This effect stacks.
Rageface
Rageface cannot be controlled, and darts about from enemy to enemy, changing targets periodically.
- Face Rage — Rageface leaps at a random player, stunning and knocking them to the ground. Rageface begins to viciously maul the player, inflicting 8000 Physical damage every 0.5 sec. and the damage dealt increases over time. While Rageface mauls the player, all successful attacks against him will be critical strikes (changed as of 4.2). Rageface will continue the mauling until his target is dead, or he receives a single attack that deals at least 30000 damage.
- Frenzied Devotion — Rageface enters an unstoppable rage if he witnesses Shannox's health reach 30%. This effect increases Riplimb's damage dealt by 400%, attack speed by 200% and movement speed by 100%.
- On heroic mode, Frenzied Devotion is replace with Feeding Frenzy:
- Feeding Frenzy — Rageface's successful melee attacks increase his physical damage dealt by 5% for 20 sec. This effect stacks.
Strategy
There are three things to worry about during this fight. Traps, Tank debuff stacks, and raid damage. We will briefly go over each mechanic and how to mitigate it.
Traps
Shannox throws traps around. Don't walk over traps. If a doggie is chasing you, walk the dog over the trap. Crystalline traps have a dark red crystal in the center. Immolation traps have the familiar flame dancing in the center of the trap. The Riplimb tank must develop the ability to distinguish the two.
When a dog runs over any trap it gains a Wary buff which prevents it from being affected by other traps for a while. Riplimb often gains Wary once he completes a spear fetch (because there are tons of immolation traps lying around). Also, a few seconds after Shannox performs Hurl Spear, Riplimb will gain Dogged Determination that prevents him from being immobilized or slowed below 65% of his normal speed. This small window is when Riplimb can be kited (preferably into a Crystal Trap) to increase Shannox' spear downtime.
Tank Debuffs
Shannox and Riplimb can be tanked but not taunted. You'll want one tank on each of them and no tank on rageface. Both Shannox and Riplimb place a stacking debuff on the tanks that must time off to be cleared. Riplimb will place the debuff when he attacks, Shannox will only place his debuff while he holds his spear. Keep Shannox and Riplimb a good 20-30 yards apart, but not too far that Shannox gets separation anxiety.
Shannox will throw his spear to Riplimb. The spear will explode in fire. Riplimb will then pick up the spear and bring it back to Shannox. It is during this "fetch it boy" stage that both tanks can clear their debuffs. Riplimb can be slowed. Shannox can be kited for more time. Riplimb can be kited into a crystal trap but it must be done quickly. If the tank doesn't kite Riplimb into a trap before Riplimb begins his fetch cycle, he becomes immune to traps. It is not required to cleanse the buff every time he throws the spear, but it makes the fight much easier on the healers.
Getting the Jagged Tear debuff to fall off requires a combination of
- luck regarding how much time is left on the debuff when Shannox hurls his spear
- distance between Riplimb and Shannox
- distance between Riplimb and the spear (which can be increased by kiting Riplimb after the spear lands)
- and time Riplimb is stuck in a crystal trap.
If one of these time-eaters is missing or too small, the other factors must be increased (tank Riplimb farther away, kite him away from the spear impact zone).
Raid Damage
During this fight your raid will take damage from Rageface. Both placing immolation traps on him (thus allowing easier stopping of face rage) and placing him in crystalline traps will reduce the sporadic raid damage. Shannox cleaves and traps can wipe you if you get hit by them.
Kill Order
I have heard people have success with multiple kill orders. Rageface caused the most problems for us and so the kill order we took is as follows: Kill Rageface right off the bat. Kill Riplimb with Shannox down near 30% but kill Riplimb before he hits 30% Kill Shannox
Alternative Strategy
There have been reports of tanks that can ride each others agro so well that they effectively tank swap both Shannox/Riplimb. While this strat has proven successfull for some, it greatly increases the amount of damage taken to the tanks (Dog doesn't have a long "fetch it boy" phase) and complicates an easy fight.
Alternate Kill Order
If your raid has issues with tank death once Rageface dies, often due to Immolation traps hitting the tank, it is possible to alter the order slightly. Burn Rageface to about 30%, then move your melee to Shannox and your ranged to Riplimb apart from a couple heavy-hitters, who stay on Rageface to break Face Rage. Arcane mages are a very good option here, with Marksman hunters being a decent backup. Once Riplimb and Rageface are both under 10% and Shannox is close to 30%, both dogs are killed off in quick succession and Shannox is then burned through the remainder of his health.
This allows all healers to move from other targets to the Shannox tank at the same time, simplifying the healing. However, this does increase the risk of deaths to Face Rage if the assigned dps are out of range or otherwise unable to act. Note that the exact percent health Rageface should be left at, as well as which dps go where, depends greatly on both your raid composition and the performance of all dps.
