Gnome

Some advice we hope helps a little bit.

Starting Area: Dun Morogh
Capital City: Ironforge
Racial Mount: Mechanostrider Playable Classes: Mage, Rogue, Warrior, Warlock
Starting Stats: 15 STR, 23 AG, 19 STA, 24 INT, 20 SPR

Abilities:

Escape Artist (active)
Activate to break out of a Root or Snare effect. Instant cast with a one minute cooldown.

Expansive Mind
Increases Intelligence by 5% (Applied after item bonuses)

Arcane Resistance
All Gnomes get +10 Arcane Resistance

Engineering Specialization
15 skill bonus to Engineering

Information:

Gnomes are a mostly spell casting race due to their Expansive Mind ability. At 100 Intelligence the Expansive Mind ability will grant you 5 extra Intelligence which is a solid boost. Nothing amazing, but very solid. The bonus to Engineering is very nice for those who want to take up the trade. Escape Artist is a good ability to get out of a Frost Nova out Hamstring in PvP. Overall the Gnome will excel at being a Mage or Warlock while being a very decent Rogue. As for Gnome Warriors, well, many feel that Humans, Night Elves, and Dwarves provide better bonuses then the Gnome does. There is nothing wrong with being a Gnome Warrior, but there are better choices.
