Escape Artist, the most underrated game breaking racial

0.5 second cast, removes all roots and slows with 1 minute cooldown

Makes any class that can be a gnome the best class/race combo for pvp, it screws over horde mages and makes gnome mages nearly impossible to kill unless they're just zerged by 5 people (god forbid that mage is supported by a paladin LOL)

Gnome mages with engineering are actually better flag carriers than druids, short of having increased speed

So many scrubs cry about WotF as this ridiculously overpowered racial yet I don't see a single person acknowledge Escape Artist for how amazing it is

Warriors, the most overpowered PvP class in the game when supported properly (by paladins, sorry horde), don't need WotF to break fear, especially if they're alliance and have paladins to cleanse everything in the universe short of physical debuffs off of them

Warriors' single greatest weakness is being kited, which aside from paladin blessing of freedom allowing 15 seconds of immunity to their greatest weakness (sorry horde, you're all cucked), gnome warriors are SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than all other races of warriors (especially horde) in 1v1 situations

Alliance bitches about WotF when they have 2 classes that can dispel it and have fear ward

Tremor totem is highly unreliable and horde priests are incredibly squishy without a support class like paladins helping then (lol sorry horde)

tl;dr If you're alliance and bitch about pvp you are garbage

I give this troll a 5/7, a perfect score.

I agree on the point that Escape Artist is underrated, but game breaking? Nah.

I played a gnome warrior in retail vanilla, it is game breaking to have a short cooldown root/snare removal against a mage and other situations and still have your trinket available

Oh and paladins

You rolled a Horde Hunter, you knew that you were significantly handicapping yourself with BoF and Escape Artist.










p.s. for future hunters - tauren > orc 2 sec AoE stun + Free Action Potion.

Dwarves are superior. You're still gonna pray to the RNG gods in a war v mage matchup, and the average mage has more than enough cooldowns to match up against you with escape artist.

Explains why gnome mages were generally more annoying than human mages to me.

If only Escape Artist was instant. Those 0.5 seconds are enough to see it coming and reapply another slow or root. Unless of course, you're an average player.
