How do you get into playing a Mechagnome?

I really wanted this. Hearing gears grind, seeing sparks and springs fly.

This and an irradiated look would be so cool. I use the shirt for that effect.

Something that I found fascinating was that Mechagnomes had a kind of caste system and you could tell them apart based on the amount or quality of their enhancements. It got me thinking about how cool a Mechagnome would look with more primitive or cobbled together junk enhancements.

This for sure!

I LOVE mine. The racials are amazing for a Mage. They only look good on a class with robes imo

They don’t feel redundant? Is it useful to have double mirror image?

I figured their racials would excel for warriors since they have auto-repair and get stronger the longer they fight (how does that work?)

Is mage their preferred class?

I think robes on them are bearable. So be a robe wearing class. Lock or Mage. Their racials are amazing for either. The stat increase? The Cheat death? I have always leveled my rogue just so I had a toon to open lock boxes on. My mechamage (what I call her) can do that also! I thought id hate playing one. But she grew on me fast. I love her

Believe it or not their sub racials are better than their main mirror image racial

Honestly, I have unlocked them and I have had zero interest in every playing one. They make the KT models look good :slight_smile:

I made mine for the lols but I still like him. I think he’s cute and the swimming animation is the best in the game. I’m not really in it for the looks though. He’s a joke character but one I’ve had a lot of fun on. Like this one time when I did a trial of style where everyone was cheering and clapping for me and they gave me first place. I also met my WoW best friend on him. I love my mechagnome :sob: :sneezing_face:

I have a mage one. It fits well. But like my LF draeni, they’re slow at leveling

I really like the aesthetics and jerky movement of the mechagnome but haven’t opened up the race. Would love a cheaper goblin version of them. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Mages are fun on mechagnome. You can summon a small army with the racial and mirror image, which is hilarious. Also, the racial will grab aggro but die very fast, so its useful out in the world when you get jumped. I drop them then blink away. The heal is great for mages too, since we no longer have any self-healing abilities.

Mine is fire spec and I imagine him as a little sentient flamethrower. Good times!

Was a thing

Oops got it backwards it was Betsy Wetsy

Imagine if they had roller blades for feet or had jet pack animations when jumping

I think an Undermine Goblin Allied Race would be so cool. I picture them being themed 1920s Gangster with tommy guns. Give them a few prosthetic options and they’d be a lot of fun.

Imagine if your race actually looked like the NPC versions

Would probably be the one thing that would finally make me roll a Horde

Wait wait wait.

Was that a rabbit race?

Two wildly popular things I could never grasp the appeal of:

  • Nintendo Wii
    – The popularity of this ridiculous contraption was just insane, and I’ve never had even one teeny tiny sliver of desire or temptation to ever have one.

  • Mechagnomes
    – These are the only things in the entirety of the game that I’ve ever looked closely at and literally felt nauseous.



I have nothing against Gnomes. Love 'em. They’re amazeballs.
I also have nothing against amputees with artificial limbs. Rock on.

But these creepy, wobbly little cybernetic terminators give me the heeby jeebies. I mean… literally just a tiny flesh torso and partial head with the rest being mechanical?

WHAT...?!

Zooming in to get a close look at these things and seeing their hip joints and such churning and grinding… :nauseated_face:

There’s some sort of Mechagnome love thread or whatever with multiple thousands of posts in it of people celebrating their love for these vicious little terminators.

I went in that thread once. Once.

Remember Van Helsing from Hotel Transylvania? Total Mechagnome.

I’m telling you, one of these days Skynet is gonna flip the switch and trigger the internal programming in these things, and we are DOOMED!

Yes! Haha I was surprised when I first saw them.

You should visit again! Lots of very friendly little terminators.
