    Lifegrip - Can You Kill People With It?

    Hi, I have been standing on clifffaces and lifegripping for ages now - and I am yet to kill anyone with it - they keep just standing on invisible ground on the edge of the ledge.
    Whats the secret I am missing?

    Have you tried grabbing people who are running towards you onto the cliff face? Not the same as just pulling them off, but they jump off on their own and bitch about it later, so same result.

    Ok, I have a lot of experience killing my friends/wiping groups with it in heroics. The best place to do this is Grim Batol. What you want to do is wait till the victim is running (ie right after you kill a pack and are moving to the next one) and use the "walk" keybind ( / ) to inch yourself on the edge, just one step from falling off. When the victim starts running, life grip and 9 times out of 10 the victim will not have a quick enough reaction to stop running before running over the edge to their death. This is one of the most satisfying ways to kill a friendly player.

    if a person with a run speed boost jumps down to the balcony where nefarian stands they will take enough fall damage by landing at base of steps that you can life grip them to an invisible ledge just below the lip of the level that the elevator boss lands..

    if the person tries to move/jump at all they will fall again and unless they heal themselves a bit will die from the double fall damage

    the bosses in heroics seems nerfed now but at the start of expansion i used to kill ppl as holy priest got only 2 things i can think of now
    at the first boss in brc when he cleaves guardian spirit yourself grip someone at last second to get cleaved to death or in grimbatol first boss
    guardian spirit pull someone straight into charge

    Idea is to LG them whilst they're running.

    It changes the direction they're looking, and hopefully they'll run off the side with little more effort on your part. Alternatives are lava, then Dispersing whilst your buddy WTFs in Raid, and LG'ing friends to stranded platforms in the air whilst a 2nd Priest LGs you back to the primary island.

    Seeing LG fail however is a terrible feeling.

    One time my douchbag priest friend was standing at the edge of a cliff. He told me to come over to him so I did. He lifegripped me and i fell off -.-

    My friend liked to lifegrip me into the cannonballs that fall at certain times in Deadmines. I honestly couldn't be mad at him for it. I thought it was too funny.

    I would love to see the statistics on how often this is used to help someone compared to how often it is just used to annoy someone. I have used it twice now in a useful way. I pulled a hunter from a charge on the first boss in GrimB and I pulled someone from the harvester guy in DMs. But I have probably killed 50 people using it, mostly in GB.

    You can also pull afk people under water and drown them

    so I am gathering from the responses the player you plan to kill has to be
    a) running
    b) slow reflexes

    so I assume I would be facing away from the edge, and the player would need to run through me and die right?

    Other then intentionally trying to dump people into stuff you can actually get people killed while trying to move them from something, an example of this was atramedes during the flight stage if you life gripped someone who was at the time being hit by the fire beam then they would take damage until the pull was finished which in the case of a long distance pull would usually end up with them being DoA.

    We go into firelands, after 2 hours we get to Ryolith. The raid leader says: "Okay, let's take a break for 10 minutes" ..
    I jump in the lava before the boss, grip a random afk'er in, move out and go downstairs to grab a drink... Ah so satisfying

    In the hall where Ragnaros is, there's a bridge with worms next to it. After you kill the worms you can stand on the edge of the bridge, grip someone over the hole where the worms were and kill em.

    I realize this kills them (that's kind of the point) but we have mass ress so we always res people fast and easy .. Unless they die twice fast

    Me and some of the other priests in the guild also love to chain grip people back when running in, especially those rogues and cats with sprint boosts

    I must say the skill also has a lot of positive possibilities but that's not the purpose of this topic.

    Life gripping into shatter from Ozruk HC when he is enraged usually kills ppl, or last boss in Vortex Pin when he does his aoe. Me and my guildies usually try to kill eachother all the time with it

    If people are going AFK between boss-attempts you can pull them into the Lava as punishment!

    Justice!
