I just about we my pants when i saw the vids, definatly worth it to drop NS in its current state.

its either gonna have to be left alone or replaced because nerfing it to anything below 15yrds would just make it useless.
however in its current state its GG on BEM arena.

Wouldn't this be devastating if used *agaisnt* a multiboxer?

[Tizer]

Yeah, could be quite annoying. Imagine if you just picked up the flag in Eots and some shaman comes and does this to you in the middle, lol :D

[Ðeceased]

against a warrior this could be rly usefull :) I 99% of them tend to charge in and then run away a little to intercept.. blow your Thunderthingy and wham!! byebye mr warrior

this on the other hand could cause major havoc to a boxer.. I guess it just comes down to being the first to cast it ^^ having a shamy do that in the middle of your group would surely be hell :) although.. If the shammy attacking you is a muppet ^^ you may get pushed back out of harms way :)

Wouldn't this be devastating if used *agaisnt* a multiboxer?Well, not necessarily. If you're facing the target and they knock you back but you're still facing them, they've just kited themselves. LOL! Cliffs are a different animal, obviously. Griefing in Thousand Needles and Netherstorm are gonna be stupid, IMO. That "force pull" ability that death knights get will be much worse for us IMO.

It seems to me that most classes are getting a knock back or movement based attack of some sort... so don't expect this to be completely removed.... it may be nerfed but I am looking forward to seeing what happens. New talents are going to change the face of WoW.

i think a knock back chain could be very handy if you have a few shammys. not that i play shamans but throw them off ya for a bit... cast some lightning bolts knock 'em back again yadda yadda.

[Drizzit]

I keep thinking about the EOS bg. Your sham team can keep that flag down... lol someone gets close, they are going for a jump... It is just like a priest when he mind controls you to jump

[Stack]

Hmm i hadent even thought about EotS, hopefully theyll write some kind of reality check into the nock back so that if you would fall to your death you get teleported to the nearest safe edge maybe? but thats prolly asking alot.

[darkcaster]

i say let them fall to thier death... but do you get a kill for just knocking them off a cliff...



oh noooooees that 5 man shammy guy has 213 HKs this game!

[Stack]

if they fall to there death your dont get the HK, also im not sure but dont you lose durability if you fall to your death even in eots/ab
