So I dropped engineering to take up jewelcrafting and yesterday I found (the hard way) the best reason to stay with engineering. You can be discombobulated off a flying mount. If you're an engineer, you can use your parachute cloak to fall to safety (it's more useful offensively, I think). Obviously mages and priests can slow fall, but the rest of us are in a bit of a jam. A little research has shown
[Colossal Parachute] from Feralas, but it has a 20 minute duration. There's also
[Olaf's All Purpose Shield] from Olaf in Uldaman. Anyone know of anything else that will stop death from fall damage? The shield will only help 3 classes. Since I'm one of the classes that can use it, does anyone remember where Olaf is in Uldaman?
