(DK) Death grip to the ground baby

[Zanzubaa]

I did quick search did not see this. It may be intended but I thought it was worth mentioning since at least to me it did not seem to be working as it should.

I noticed this yesterday, perhaps it was in the game before 5.2 perhaps it was not.

When you death griped someone who was mounted while being mounted pre-5.2 it would pull them to your position when you cast the spell. Currently though it seems to work differently. Your target will get pulled all the way to the ground even if you where 30 foot in the air when you death griped as if they had inertia.

I am now sure why this is, I am hoping they are following you until they reach your location. If this is the case there is alot of fun that could be had especially if you could move faster than they could catch up to you.

As I said though I am just going on my observations yesterday, perhaps you can find out more.

If this has already been posted feel free to remove it np, if it is new and you agro it is not working as intended feel free to move to elite. This had alot of potential.

pretty sure working as intended. i have gotten death griped out the sky a lot in my time.

Yes you could always death grip people to the ground from the ground but now you can fly up to them, lets say 90 feet in the air, death grip and your target will get 'pulled' all the way down to the ground on there mount.

You can't be that high.

I've been waitin for someone to post this lol, it's a good exploit while it lasts.


To clarify, you're not supposed to be able to cast Death Grip while you're in the air. However, if you dismount and death grip quickly enough, not only will you death grip them, they'll fall all the way to the ground on their mount.



The best part of this trick however, is you can also cast Asphyxiate while in the air. So they fall to the ground, stunned, and it gives you enough time to fall to the ground and either dps them down if they're in bad gear, or use the turtle shell to dismount them.



PS: This trick is really hilarious to do, but if you cast it past the limit where you generally die from fall damage, they will not fall to the ground. Instead, they'll just move to the position in the air where you cast death grip. Happy hunting

Always been in the game. During WOTLK the players took fall damage depending from how high you took em down.
