Arcane Resistance

The largest benefit I can make of this racial is the ability to resist Counterspells in PvP. For the most part, resistances are nice to have but certainly not a racial to pick a race for. With the introduction of spell penetration itemization and chance to hit with spells, the benefit of this racial is even less so.

If you're choosing a gnome based on racials anyway, its for the intellect or even possibly the escape artist - but i'll have to warn ya, for some reason gnomes are focus fired in PvP!; but they are damned cute = )

Although I WILL aggree on the choice based upon racials, i will disagree with the cuteness of gnomes.

Well, we all know blizzard have to give gnomes some good racials to make up for their extreme ugliness and the fact that us hordes will always choose to kill a gnome before anything else..

Deadlines are like a gnome on the edge of a cliff, u cant help pushing them!
