Goblin vs gnomish engineering

[enzym]

Hello!

I am at the 225 skill and I'm gonna need to choose either goblin or gnomish engineering. I have never been an engineer before. So I wonder, what pros and cons does each of them have? Does one fit pvp or pve more than the other?

I am playing enhance shaman if that matters.

Thanks!

Gnome has more CC/toy related stuff.

Goblins has more explosively related stuff + mining helm + jumper cables.

goblin has better pvp items, such as sapping bomb's or the mana bombs, while gnome can also be for pvp but its mostly more catered to having fun, such as mind controlling or speed boots, or the gnomish death ray.

Depends on your class. If your class lacks AoE(Priest, Rogue, Paladin), you might want Goblin. But certain classes get great use out of certain toys.
Shield Belt(BoE): Weak Rogues could put this to great use.
Death Ray: Warriors could use this as a ranged attack rather than sitting worthlessly inside a root.
Net Gun(BoE): Paladins could use this to catch fleeing enemies. The best part is that if it backfires and roots you, you just use your own Freedom to remove it.
