Escape Artist


 * Never be too sure you have a gnome cornered

Escape Artist is a Gnome racial ability that removes any immobilization or movement speed reduction effects. It is based around a Gnome's small size and great agility, allowing one to deftly escape traps and snares made for much larger targets.

Tips and tactics

 * The best application for this is removing Boss debuffs that include a snare (or root). If a debuff has "Slows movement speed AND does 65 damage ever 1 second", it will remove both the slow speed AND the damage over time spell from you, in one sweep. This will work as long as the spell includes a root or snare, ie roots you in place, or slows your movement speed.


 * PvP examples:
 * Mage: Frostbolt, Frostfire Bolt, Cone of Cold, Frost Nova, Slow, Blast Wave and more
 * Warlock: Aftermath and the Nightmare inflicted using Improved Fear
 * Warrior: Hamstring, Piercing Howl
 * Rogue: Crippling Poison, Waylay
 * Druid: Infected Wounds, Entangling Roots
 * Shaman: Frost Shock, Frostbrand Weapon, Earthbind Totem (no use if you stay within the radius of the totem)
 * Hunter: Wing Clip, Concussive Shot, Ice Trap (although while within affected area the debuff will simply be reapplied)
 * Death Knight: Chains of Ice, Chilblains
 * Priest: Mind Flay
