Why life grip is a bad idea

#0 - April 8, 2010, 2:44 p.m.

I can see this getting abused in pvp, Say a warrior is down beside mage tower is EOTS just fighting away and you are a priest healing him. As soon as he gets low on health just life grip him up to the tower heal him to full and let him jump back down.

Or say in arena you are doing 2's and they keep snaring the warrior and running away. Well now you can just follow the target you want to go down first and when the warrior gets feared or snared just life grip him to the DPS target.

What if you are in a BG and some priest just wants to be negative and does not really care if you guys win and life grips people away from what they are doing, say capping a node or running with a flag.

Just like you do with everything blizz you balance it around one aspect of the game and not the other. DO NOT make this spell go live.

It's a bit too early to say if something is a bad idea or not. The class previews that are currently being presented are simply that, previews. There is still more that needs to be done in testing and refining these ideas.

I personally like the idea of it, but again, I'm Ok with waiting and seeing what the result of testing is.

I'm going to close this thread only because it's just not constructive feedback at this point in time. I strongly suggest waiting to see the end result first before simply deciding something newly announced should not be.
