For those that dont know blood dks can steal a healer and take them out of the game.
This has happened a few times on my priest and rsham and it makes me not wanna heal…period.
My team: “Why arnt you healing us?”.
Like bro… im across the map kidnapped by this bdk.
My team: “Just report… he throwing”.
Idk why this is still a thing.
Ive had priest healers say they stopped quing because of this. Objectively for the bdk and the their team it is a good strat however I feel like stuff like this is not healthy for the game and should be changed.

Did a Scramble (3 flags per team). Enemies had one Blood DK and one Unholy DK, we had 2 priest healers. Somehow we won at 10 caps while the other team had 3. I wasn’t watching our healers but they kept me alive so I could cap two flags myself and I killed 3 enemy flag carriers, sometimes with dps help.
I would imagine as a healer, especially priests, being abducted must be maddening. For my match it may have helped that the DKs were focusing on gripping and slowing flag carriers and our healers seemed to be focusing on group healing and not flag carrying which I was very happy to see.

I think dk is one of the best classes in bgs for that reason. They are very valuable for the team on every map. However a blood death Knights ability to steal a healer is not fun … At least for the healer. I can imagine the blood dk would be having a great time.
Even a real BDK enjoyer would need an alt or switch DK specs to have some variety right? Can’t imagine praying for a water feature and an enemy priest healer every BG and then drowning players would be so enjoyable to only do that for a season.

I tried to help a priest who was getting kidnapped by ccing the dk to give him a chance to reach our team fight, instead he stayed near me healing me and yelling at me to burst the DK down, I was on my boomy. (He said, incarn and blow him up… he had too much hope of my abilities, I just press starfall)
I gave up on him as I wasn’t able to solo the dk.

I just enjoy watching someone make priest players as mad as mages make me.

False. I was a Blood DK for the past 10 years, but gave it up this expansion because they are nothing but grip bots. It’s sad.

I love that priests get to feel their gameplay held hostage to someone else.

Have you tried stealing the blood DK?

I kinda like the grip bot life. If you’re not gripping, its just people wasting their time on you while your team wins the game. Imagine distracting or stalling 10 players away from doing the real objectives. It wont be on any damage charts, but it makes a lot of difference.

Has anyone ever done that? Been a Blood DK and abducted a Blood DK?
The only means Ive found to escape is to force the BDK to kill me, by DPSing him and not heal myself when he attacks me in order to heal himself.
Of course it’s only a temporary escape. As soon as you ress he’ll try to kidnap you again, but at least you have some slim chance that your team mates will help you each and every time.

That sounds like a really awful game of tug-o-war, LOL.

I hate it!!! lol 
I need to make a DK I think
I had a blood dk grip me to stop me from stealing their disc priest.
it was a long chain of grips, and he was actually fairly annoying so, id say its atleast somewhat effective

Doesn’t Death Grip has a DR? I could swear I’ve tried to play like stealing someone in a bg as a DK, but didn’t work very well.
What exactly is the combination of talents/abilities/techniques that allows a BDK to play like this? (Other than the obvious Death Grip with 2 charges).
it doesnt dr.
It works amazingly well as long as you dont root them before your grips, or throw your grip into something silly

No special talents. BDK’s Death Grip is just on a 15 sec cd as opposed to a 25 sec like frost/unholy.

OH… I actually never noticed this! Makes sense then… so, I get to max range, pull and then I move away even further with Wraith Walk and pull them a second time, then I keep Abom limb moving them more, all that while alternating the stuns/snares?
