I wanna create a new gnome character but i can’t decide what class would be the best and have the best transmog (Engineer looking transmogs). If anyone can help me out that would be awesome. :slight_smile:

Most of the engineering helmets are cloth, so for transmog purposes you would want a mage, priest or lock for the most options in engineering mogs.

I will definitely choose one of those classes :). Thanks for the help. :smiley:

I’d go with Hunter, since they can use guns and have mechanical pets + all the upsoming gear from Mechagon goes pretty well with their racial armour.

But both mages and warlocks are good choice as well, but you can RP tinkerer as a Hunter :slight_smile:

Well. There is also dem hunters.
I can imagine the “terminator” gnomyboy hunter. Armed with nigh visions tactical goggles, stabilization gloves and a big boy gun enhanced with the finest scope.

I am sure you can build a transmog for that. :smiley:

I think a hunter or a rogue probably fit best as engineers. They are pretty handy and resourceful.

A warrior can also work :smiley:

Yeah, but I’ve always felt really weird playing Gnome warrior tbh XD (or DK)

Obviously almost all so far are wrong!

Only correct choice is warrior! Just imagine it. That little ball of steel slashing, stabbing and smashing enemies! Whoa! Too awesome to even think!

Just wait for new thinker class, which is speculated to arrive 9.0 and play as mecha gnome.

I would choose Hunter or Warrior. Goggles also come in mail and plate :wink:

Hunter: mechanical pets and theres some pretty mechanical like bows and engineering guns!

Warrior: theres a couple of mechano like shields and maces!
Looking at the weapons for the next patch, therrs a LOT of mechanical themed weapons.

Imagine a little furious ball of rage, wielding 2 x mechanical 2-handers!

I actually think i will have to make one myself now lol

I have both a gnome hunter and a gnome rogue and I can tell you that rogues have some very good xmogs for an artisan like character, where hunters not so much. But they have guns. And I have faith in the upcoming mechagon for them (even just the heritage armor which looks great).

It’s true that many helmets from vanilla engineering are cloth but you can make up something great too with leather too, and without even too much effort

Yes, but several of them are cloth only. If you’d want any of those apperances, I don’t know, but I learned this the hard way as my engineer has always been a hunter(since vanilla).

Hunter looks the best I think. Theres some nice googles models from Cata and onward that look really mechanical. Theres a couple nice guns aswell to go with it and you can have mechanical pets!

I am not sure that’s right. My engineers can make all the armour types.

It’s the original recipes, they were all cloth.
