Luckily, Blizzard realized how necessary this addition would be and decided that Gnomes are finally going to be hunters in the game’s upcoming sixth expansion.
Blizzard announced this alongside the announcement:
Additionally, gnomes aren’t going to be all about befriending the creatures of nature. Instead, the game is going to be introducing mechanical pets!
If you’ve been playing since Cataclysm, you probably remember that it was the expansion that added a bunch of new playable classes for every race, such as Night Elf Mages and Tauren Priests. One has to wonder if Gnomes are going to be the only race to get a new playable class. I, for one, have always wanted a Goblin Monk announcement. Spinning Crane Kick as a small green man? Sign me up!
Most Mechanical pets will be challenging to tame, requiring you to first locate them and then use your Hunter abilities in unusual ways. (You didn’t think we’d make it easy, did you?)
To sate us until Legion is released, World of Warcraft is 75% off through January 4th.
