These are a serious boon for goblin engineers when it comes to leveling up in Wrath. They are incredibly cheap compared to alternatives. You get them at 425 and they are yellow. They go green at 430, which means you basically get 5 free levels but it doesn't stop there. At 430 the main thing you will be making to skill up besides these are the snow goggles, they cost close to TEN times the mats that the sapper charges do and they go green at 432. From 432 to 435 both are green meaning you have the same chance to skill up, yet one costs way way less.

Seems like an oversight by Blizzard, these do not fit with the leveling flow of Engineering in Wrath at all, considering only Goblin Engineers can get the schematic, it almost feels like cheating.

If anyone was wondering, the effect can't be avoided with rogue´s skill: CloS, even though it says "Fire Damage".
I just tested it myself, and it had fatal consequence 3 hordes, and myself . .

It, however, CAN be absorbed by Anti-Magic Shell for deathknights and give you runic power. :)

Player one: Oh no.

Exactly how effective (or not) are these against walls in Wintergrasp or Strand of the Ancients?

Комментарий от 249835

yeah it does about as much as one shot from a demolisher. so its not amazing but it definitely owns in large groups in BGs or wintergrasp

Комментарий от Astrant

Confirmed that it does 1200 siege damage to walls.

With patch 3.08 (allegedly) coming in the next few hours and the weakening of the Wintergrasp keep door that this patch will bring I believe that goblin engineers have a unique opportunity with these devices in that we can parachute to the main keep door if we fly in from Icecrown and let rip with these babies.

Granted 1 person probably won't make that much of a dent but what if you got a group of say 10 or more engineers to do it simultaneously? Goblin parasapper squads :-)

During the Battle for Wintergrasp, I have used these beautiful bits of gun powder to perform stealthy sabotage runs on the keep.

When attacking, I (a rogue) have flown up behind the keep from the Icecrown side, losing my flight and parachuting down just as I get over it. Before hitting the ground, I stealth so that no one notices me dropping in behind enemy lines.

After that, it's just a matter of avoiding the enemy guards and other players and getting to my destination.

I have helped win a battle through the tactic of stealthing into the base, sneaking into a guard tower and destroying the turrets with a combination of goblin explosives and a few well-placed blades.

If you can take out one or more of the turrets on a tower, your faction has an open path and little resistance in getting to the wall on that side, allowing them to breach the outer wall and begin the assault on the inner wall early on in the battle.

New use in 3.0.8 tower killing on defence, hit and run the southern towers they will look for a tank not a guy on a tank :)

These seem to be modified by attack power. I've used a couple now, and they've always done more damage than the tooltip lists as even possible from them.
I macro in an Anti-Magic Shell on my Death Knight, and they work beautifully.

Комментарий от 30706

This + Fire ward + Frost Warding = Makes for a nice extra mana pot and/or human living bomb with protection ;)
And it all fits nicely into another mage macro.

Комментарий от 28895

These are excellent in Wintergrasp if you have Tenacity! Ride up in your siege engine, when it gets killed drop this at the wall. If you have 14+ tenacity it should one-shot every enemy player in range, along with damaging the walls.

Комментарий от 293841

odd how this requires no explosives to make.
it needs a saronite bar and something to trigger it.
no actual explosives!

Комментарий от 368807

Triggers doesn't detonate ,they cause the detonation.
(Dictionary.com definition:
"a small projecting tongue in a firearm that, when pressed by the finger, actuates the mechanism that discharges the weapon.")

Комментарий от 386890

that is going to be a great Boom :)

Комментарий от 386890

the dmg is like 9k

Комментарий от mtpleasantries

This + fire ward + mana shield + incanter's absorption = win?

Комментарий от theASCHE360

Yeah, because the alliance whined to their guild until they got tons of reinforcements, including this really overpowered mage.

and the overpowered human and dwarf warriors plus the petless elf hunter >.<

Комментарий от 87997

Stealth nerfed, presumably in response to Goon Squad shenanigans. They now do a slightly pathetic 200ish siege damage on use.

Can I switch to gnomish engineering yet?

Комментарий от Aerandul

Should point out that this now only does 250 siege damage, not 1200. Sort of removes the point, alas :(

If Northrend melts and Azeroth goes underwater, I blame the Engineers.

I blame the Tauren!

Does anyone know how these scale with crit chance? I pop them on the initial wave of Onyxia whelps, here's what I got for our 25-man this week:

Recount - Chongar's Hostile Attacks: Global Thermal Sapper Charge
1. Hit 26 (76%) (Min: 2257 Avg: 2627 Max: 2864)
2. Crit 8 (24%) (Min: 3497 Avg: 4027 Max: 4390)

Unbuffed, I run 37.46% melee crit and 27.66% spell crit (enhancement shaman, for reference). Obviously that would be higher with 25-man raid buffs. I would hazard a guess then that it's based off your spell crit chance and I had bad luck with RNG.

Комментарий от 185761

These are really handy for Onyxia whelps in phase 2 for classes that really don't have a strong aoe. The cooldown is long enough to be used only once in the encounter so you got to make it count. I used it once and it hit about 35 whelps for a whopping total of 87.3k damage!

Комментарий от caboom

Since no one mention this in relation to raiding, I figured I should.

This triggers a 1 minute cooldown that is shared with most other bombs(including Saronite Bombs), but it also has a 5 minute self cooldown, so this is usable once per 5 x Saronite Bomb cycle instead of a Saronite Bomb. Since it does roughly double the damage of the Saronite Bomb it helps with DPS, however compared to Box of Bombs it is more expensive.
Another advantage to Saronite Bomb is that this is instant(in terms of animation) and they do not require aiming, of course with the disadvantage that it damages your character in the process(use with caution in heavy raid damage fights).

This can be used along with Saronite Bomb and Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket or Hyperspeed Accelerators(depending on wich one you use) in this way :

/cast <Spell of your choice here>
/use 10 (Glove enchant)
/use Global Thermal Sapper Charge
/use Saronite Bomb

Happy exploding! :)

Theres anothere thing that hasnt been mentioned yet too.
If you "unfortunately" would die by the blast it wont affect your armors durability!
Thats right! This could actually save you a bit gold when for example "a wipe" is called.
Ah yeah.. theres always that part being below 2k hp..

Комментарий от 475607

These are great when you're outnumbered and going to die anyway. A nice little last F*CK YOU right before you go.

And come Cataclysm, when Horde gets actual Goblins.... REAL Goblin Sapper squads!

Комментарий от 262983

Would these do any damage to the gunships during the air battle in ICC?

Комментарий от Ivon

Whelp, these are now a waste...thanks Blizzard

Saronite Bombs seem to do 120 siege damage and have 1 minute CD. If you're going to use engineering for WG or SotA always use Saronite Bombs against the walls.

Комментарий от 34534

With grenades (which are for aoe pulls) these lovely thingies are the tank's best friends. Someone pulled a pack of mobs and you need to instagrab 'em? Just stand in middle and blow up one. For tanks (not DKs, sadly) selfdamage is actually quite nice to have: it gives rage or mana back.

Enemy Nuke Incoming! Its Over!

Комментарий от SuperDino

Just made my warrior a nothrend eng and im wondering the mechanics of this before i finally end up choosing what spec to make him, i basically want to que it up to use one at the same time i use a long aoe cd, like bladestorm
i also wonder if the damage generates rage, but i assume so, since it can generate mana/runic power for other classes

Does this have a "cast bar" like some other bombs or is it instant? and if it is instant, is it off the gcd like hand mounted pyro rockets are?

Комментарий от neoramp

do these work in Strand of the Ancients?

Комментарий от braddaz

Referenced in This book as "The Bigger One" Seems to be useful in blind dates...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Not sure how useful these things are on their own, but this is by far the cheapest way to level Engineering from 425-435 when they turn grey.
