We can steal spells, why not weapons and armor?

Wowy... you fail at trolling... you really, really do.

Just thought you should know.

You are the Troll.
Hes not trolling in any way.
It would be cool yes but expect huge QQ from all meele skill classes.

Is this the guy who started the "Blizzard should remove the Horde" thread?

I was debating on giving this idea a yes vote but after I read the above sentence the original poster lost all credibility, and even before that he some what lost credibility, mentioning rainbow sticky hands and neopets.

[Traman]

So, I don't know if you guys have ever played a game called Neopets but in their battledome they have these items called rainbow sticky hands and essentially, using it steals one of your opponent's equipped items for the duration of the fight.

I think it would be absolutely epic of Blizzard did this, especially if they let you steal items you can't normally use. Imagine how deadly a priest with a two-handed axe would be. Or a mage with plate shoulders.

How old are you?

[Wowy]

Guys, to everybody saying some classes would be screwed without a weapon - you can just receive the other person's weapon while they are using yours. Problem solved.

And to everybody making fun of the item name Rainbow Sticky Hand, I don't get it? What's wrong with it? Here are a few pictures.





That thing holding it in the second picture is called a Mynci.

[Markluzz]

No.....just no, please quit trolling or thinking of stupid ideas all your threads are made of them.

If you want a serious response, the sticky hand is worse than i thought, and of course a warrior losing his shadowmourne only to get a small blue caster dagger will work perfectly.

We already have Disarm effects. Even f*cking priests have them, which is ridiculous. It's impossible for a melee fighter who has trained for years to lose his weapon to someone who probably wouldn't even have the strength to lift it.

Yeah. Ret pally and mage would swap their 2h sword and staff? Even if both would have the weapon skill, that wouldn't solve anything, since no caster attacks are weapon based. Their "weapons" exist solely to give them stats.

I'll have you know I have over 1600 AP raid buffed, good sir.

And how, good sir, is your weapon skill?

[Zaerix]

Because losing one buff temporarily is one thing.

Losing your weapon temporarily, and therefore a large portion of damage and the use of most of your abilities is another.

[Mudkiper]

Wow.. just... wow.

Bad idea is bad (

....magic.

I like this idea, actually. It sounds like a cool Arms based spin on Rune Weapon and evolving the Disarm mechanic. It should not last for the duration for the fight, but it should last a good few seconds to disarm and destroy a melee toon in a fun pvp circumstance. I'm pretty sure that Blizzard isn't going to give a shit about most of the suggestions they get now for Cataclysm, but I think it could make a very nice cooldown. It could also work on bosses, but only being able to replicate the weapon. It gives Arms some kind of viability, or at least I hope, in pve.

[Kagdar]

Because a spell is not physical?


As for Disarm, i like to think it's some sort of temporary muscle diziness. Like you cast "cold" on his hands so his hands are desabled, or his arms, or something like that. You don't remove the weapon, its just he can't use it for the duration of the incapacitation.

[fizikz]

yoink. WHOS GOT THE SHADOWMORNE NOW, BI--- yeah. sounds kinda fun. OP as hell? totally. fun, though.

Imbalanced, not to mention the stats would be useless and the overall damage output with that kind of a buff on would be useless, besides WoW > Neopets.

[Dekoo]

I saw Neopets and stopped. All your credibility just blew away with the wind.

[Hautch]

Neopets

Uhh..

this gave me a idea.

What if we had RP Spells. aka Fun Spells.

Similar to Everquest.

EQ had spells that were pointless in combat, but were there for RP.

Well what if a Warrior could take a Model copy of the enemy's weapon, just for looks, for a short duration.

[Facedesk]

I would like to use my "rainbow sticky hands" to steal your goddamn keyboard.

[Powerogue]

rainbow sticky hands. freaking awesome...

the items could be like conjured items that only last around 30 seconds

[Aliceinhell]

Most Items are "Soulbound", you'd need to steal there soul as well
