Death Grip, OP or not?Follow

Recalling the times I've been feared continuously by warlocks, I'd say DG is definitely not OP.

I've decided that it is very OP against stupid gankers who won't leave you alone. Last night while questing in Terrokar forest I had 2 gankers on me constantly. Both 7 levels higher than me. One Lock, One hunter.

Well I got a 70 warrior, and everytime they came by on their mounts, I pulled them off to me and he killed them. Needless to say I got no more quests done, but we did generate some world PvP in that area by Cenarion Circle. Really got the higher levels pissed off.

Only time I couldn't get them was if they "resisted" or they dodged. Damn rogues...lol Will have to try this some more on other toon types. Didn't get anybody on a flying mount tho. Everybody was on a ground mount or walking.

I'm going to disagree with you Theo and say that it is OP in that DKs are the only class (as far as I know) that have an ability to bring the enemy to them as opposed to "going to" the enemy. I know some mobs in Northrend can do this too. I find that for now, it is a bit disorienting to be doing one thing, then being jerked into combat.

is it any worse than 12 seconds of invincibility or more if your a priest? Think about that, one instant cast spell that can't be interrupted and your unkillable for 12 seconds, how is THAT not overpowered but deathgrip is? I admit, after the first hit you should be immune to the spell for 30 seconds so you can't chain it, but its not overpowered, and we are SUPPOSE to be caster killers remember? we have silences, and DG so we can kill casters, take that away and we are worriers with some cool skills, thats all.

but you forgot about my trap card......

...i mean, IBF, unstunnable and 50% damage resistance usable every minute. sure its getting nerfed for pvp, but its still an awesome ability.

Er, no there are many uses for this ability. Arena being only one of them.

I LOL'd. Seriously. :)

I can just imagine what went through that guy's head... "HA! No Death Grip for y... OHGHODFLYINGPOINTYDOOM!!"

Pure win. :D

Aye, true, fair enough. PvP's probably too vague to go into more detail, it depends a lot on the situation.

Good grief, what's the world coming to, Theo agreeing with Moz ... hmmm, I think Theo's Alla account has been hacked.

Its no more OP then warriors duel wielding with 2h weapon, Hunters who can't be snared, frozen, or stunned by casters, warlocks who within a couple of seconds can have you dotted to death, rogues who can stun lock you, and finally paladins who can do anything while being 100% invulnerable to attack.

I am not going to stop posting, and since I don't Arena it'd be stupid to have a spell/ability and not use it. Thus my second post. I like Theo's advice, but I'm still gonna disagree. (-:

I think it will get it's most benefit from PvP arena, but I use mine all the time out in the general world. It's great for when your tired, your legs hurt, the armor is scratchy, it's heavy as hell (plate you know). Why run to that next pack of mobs, when I can jerk em over here.

I especially like it for getting the damn casters in range for a mind freeze/strangulate. Ah well, to each his own.

I got pulled off the elevator in the Alliance town in Zangarmarsh. I think it's cheap, and I wish other DKs were immune to it, but I don't know if I'll say it's OP.
