A ridiculous plan.

A ridiculous plan.

It's wishful thinking I know, but I came up with this awesome idea.

1)Take one of those multiboxers with heaps of accounts (ie Prepared)
2) LOTS OF DEATHKNIGHTS!
3) Put one DK in the middle of a town like like Honor Hold.
4) Place a second DK within death grip range of DK1.
5) Place a third DK within death grip range of DK2.
6) Repeat the previous steps as many times as you have accounts.
7) The end of your chain of DKs should be a long way from town.
8) Wait for member of opposing faction to get within range
9) DEATH GRIP
10)DEATH GRIP
11)DEATH GRIP
12)DEATH GRIP
13)DEATH GRIP

and so on.

Your foe should not have time to kill any DK down the chain, and will find themselves fighting their way out of the middle of your town.

Super bonus if they flee back out the same way they came in and you get to Death Grip pull them all over again.

I know I'll never see this happen, but wouldn't it be awesome?

multibox shaman launches DK off cliff with TS. DK uses deaths grip on main shaman. Main shaman goes off cliff with DK, along with the shamans that where set to follow.
BEWARE THE DEATH KNIGHT!!

There was talk before launch of getting enough DKs together to create a Large DeathKnight Collider so that the time per loop exceeds the cooldown on Death Grip and lets it run more or less perpetually. Bonus if it's big enough to use the stun glyph.

Haha, loving it. Although modify the chain to end near a cliff and put a shaman there to thunderstorm him off :-P

There was a lot of death knight combat in hellfire peninsula on my server last weekend. Some people found out the hard way that it isn't safe to go afk in towns anymore, because we simply pull them out.

This has me wondering....

What if two DK's both used deaths grip at the exact same time on one another?

Would they just trade places?

Yes, I believe they do. With my DK team I have done some wacky stuff, accidentally, when I spammed my round-robin death grip.

This is exactly what the alliance was doing the first couple days after beta started. Was quite funny to see people get caught up in it.
What I want to try is do WSG, stand on the ver edge of the platform above the flag room and death grip someone up with no where to stand so he falls down to die.

If you can death grip him hes not going to die from falling, death grips range isn't very good so the amount of range he'll fall isn't that great either.

Yes, they trade places and sometimes even cross swords in mid air like in the ninja movies.

My favorite is to go nude in AB and run to the LM cliff. Then target someone and jump down taking him with me. Already have got several reports for griefing by doing that but only got a couple of GMs come and watch all the procedure then lol :)

Forgot to mention that my DK only does that in AB, suicide and take people with him. On a normal BG session I end killing about 40 or more people that way.

this is fantastic - I'll have to try it and Fraps it too.

Sounds like even more fun than my druid typhooning folks off of there (with a moon fire on their way down too).

Something tells me that the designers did not realize the full potential of this ability when they thought it up. :)

I think there are a few made up stories in here. Death grip is not usable while falling. That got changed a while back in the beta. Death grip is usable while moving, but not falling or jumping.

you can potentially chain deathgrip an elite into a big city.
