So far ive seen DRUIDS leap, GHOULS leap, PLAYERS heroic leap over to Dks via deathgrip, Mobs leap,

But somehow you couldnt manage to make it work for warriors...hmmmm....

Warriors: how come taunt doesnt work for pvp

Blizz: We dont want people losing control over their characters but youll get to leap around like barbarians oops never mind its impossible to program...

2008 Wotl:k DeathKnights get a ranged taunt with added leap mechanic -_-

The ghoul won't try to exploit movement problems. Death Grip isn't a problem because we know exactly where the DK is and can assume that is a legal position.

Heroic Leap on the other hand let players click anywhere they wanted to try and cheese pathing. Eventually, some of them found holes in the terrain they could jump through. Fixing all of those potential problem areas in the terrain was a pretty heavy price to pay for one talent.

We could have changed Heroic Leap to not have a targeting component, like Blink and Disengage, but we thought that would make it Blink and Disengage.

Please don't turn every issue into "Blizzard hates my class."
