Gnomes

Post by **Rary** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 8:43 am

This class is by far the least chosen class by my records.

Followed by half-elf, but that class is being used somewhat.

What are the biggest flaws with them do you think?

Nothing, I simply despise gnomes more than anything.
Heres what happenes if I see a gnome:

Before

After

And they suck too, low hp, sucky STR, only good as mages. But since I despite them I never use them. Hell, my Wiz is hafling not gnome lol

The love the before and after pictures.

Only thing I can think of is the racial bonuses don't really benefit much for arena play.

Well actually Hermit could be a gnome 2 so I can imagine a build with a gnome but fact is ppl don't like using them, perhaps because they consider them only beeing used as mages

Gnomes just aren't utilized, but by far there are more gnomes than half-elves.

Dwarves get that fancy +2 vs spells.

HALFLING PRIDE!? why do you think all my chars are halflings...wel its mainly bringing power to the midgets, but meh.

i despise gnomes. i just do. i also despise pallys. dont ask me why, i just do. i like casters, but i suck with them. but seriously who needs spell focus illusion!

and no, Seraphiel is Hermit, nad hermit is a halfling. gnomes have the weird shaped arms and have a v-shaped torso. thats how you can tell the difference. halflings are jsut scale sized humans.

Gnomes aren't used for a number of reasons.
1) They're ugly. The pics of them are ugly and their bodies are ugly
2) Anything a gnome would be good in another race is better at.
- Dwarves make better defensive casters, humans make better offensive ones.
- Dwarves make better str melees, halflings make better dex melees.
3) The racial bonuses suck. Illusion is the most useless school to focus (next to Divination).

There ya go. Half-elves are worse but hey gnomes also suck horribly.

Well, gnomes can utilize scimitar as 2h weapon. It's very powerful.

They are still better than half elf.
