Extra stats for engineers

[Joko]

Im finding Hurricane's proc to clear the "buff", so if you want to use this trick ya gotta get rid of your hurricane enchant one way or another.

This post mentions another effect that restores reforged stats: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/world-...g-1-haste.html

Maybe any piece of gear with a rating-on-use effect causes this?

Edit: Just confirmed, Anything that increases a rating will cause this effect! I am using +30 crit rating food and its working great

[marithas9k]

this is working, + rep

too bad its not in elite and will get fixed much sooner

here stood something wrong

So- to clarify- this does NOT require engineering, and is actually caused by any secondary-stat increase via proc, on-use, food, or other buff?
If so, I have a few people to +rep over the next few days...

Correct, you do not need engineering to benefit from this.
Get a set of gear with the rating stats that you want displayed in white text (except weapons, offhands and ranged/relics.) Reforge the rating that you want off of that gear. With your reforged greens and blues on, eat any food that gives +rating or drink a +rating elixir etc. At this point the stats that you reforged off should come back. You can leave the food or elixir buff on and those stats will last as long as the buff, or you can click the buff off before changing back to your normal gear so that there is no time limit on the stats. After you gain the reforged stats back you can switch any gear except the bottom three slots (weapon, offhand, ranged). Any buff that alters any of your ratings will remove the reforged stats.

Downloading a patch now, we shall see if I just wasted my time writing this...

Edit: patch didn't fix this. Maybe its too late but this should be moved to elite.

I can confirm that instead of using the haste tinker that i drink an elixir or food buff that increases a rating will do the same effect as using the engineering tinker.

unfortunately, this isnt as great as it sounds

gaining a buff like leader of the pack will reset your bonus

as will anything that temporarily increases crit, haste, or mastery

so if you try to use this in a raid, any time your feral brezzes, you lose your bonus

any trinket procs, lose your bonus

etc

[Joko]

Leader of the pack increases Critical Strike Chance by 5%, not Crit Rating.
Infact there are no temporary raid buffs or long duration buffs that will break this. The only buffs that can are ones that give a rating.
Like Windwalker or hurricane or maybe some weird trinkets.

BTW You can buy the lvl 80 tank trinket from dalaran, iLvl 200 one, has an on-use effect that gives dodge, and thats all you need to proc this. Usable in arena I believe?

+rep confirmed

[Ssateneth]

our 10 man raid doesnt cause my extra stats to fall off (prot pala, mut rogue, surv hunter, resto shaman, holy priest, myself (prot or arms warrior), holy paladin, shadow priest, ret paladin, and one pug, happened to be a dk last night), they lasted through the whole fight.

but it dropped off i think during my bh25 pug, so there is some aura that may be causing problems with this.

[mikekdn]

this may have been hotfixed with the 1/26 fix as I cant get it to work again

[Joko]

Still works for me, just now

[Ssateneth]

Still works for me too.

Also, I can confirm that losing/gaining the "Leader of the Pack" aura will reset the stats gained (if you switched gear for the glitch that is). I was in AV watching my auras scroll up as I lost/gained them, and I lost about 5% hit from the stats I got through the glitch via a second equipment set full of "Of the tiger" suffix gear when I gained leader of the pack.

Yea I was experiencing the same crap last night, no real solution for that in raids/bgs either since sometimes a bear has to shift out
