the look through the wall is worth it. most gnomes won't touch tinkering which is a shame. there are useful pieces even now. EB items and stalking probes for raiding. i've never end-game tinkered but i think velious comes with some neat new recipes.
Gnomes are very much lacking in strength. So much so it may be a fair argument to dump a good bit of your starter points in to that stat. It's easier to make up the INT than to raise your Str with gear. Maybe there some high Str peices you can find, but I'd rather utilize that slot for MR, HP or INT. Probably in that priority order. I wouldn't pay no mind to those guys telling you the min-max is starter points in sta and agi or whatever bullcrap the wiki might claim. What you will get more use out of us being able to carry more than 200plat while solo farming giants as a necromancer without becoming encumbered.
Gnomes also look the handsomest.
