What is the item or spell that launches you so FAR and HIGH in bgs? I don’t even know if its a spell or toy or what. It makes no sense
Its called eletric shock and its a world pvp item from dornogal that is for some reason usable in instances.
It’s basically just a anti melee mechanic cause its radius only hits melee range.
And yeah it definitely makes the game extremely miserable especially when every player on the team has one.
Just turns into mace windu simulator.

I’d rather the knock back instead of the pull. The amount of cancer from fire mages clearing raids from their combustion mechanics was absurd.

I usually suggest if you’re primarily doing BG PvP to roll Dracthyr as a race for applicable classes, the glide instantly counters these knockbacks if you don’t have a way to counter (ie warrior leap, hunter disengage, etc) and even if you are a class with a counter it is nice to be able to save those abilities for other times knowing you can glide to counter. Sadly that won’t help OP as a DK though.
Anybody can just buy gliders.

It’s true but not having to save it for a knockback is nice. Also often against premades they will use multiple electric shocks in a small window so glider might be on cooldown

Whatever this knockback is, it shouldn’t be allowed in BGs. I’m actually surprised it is but this is wow in 2026. It feels like no one at Bliz is really monitoring anything.

Sometimes the Electric Shock item is the only way to get rid of a healer or tank that’s just spinning a flag incessantly; especially in random battlegrounds where DPS players forget that they have CC buttons.
To the players that complain about the item; I pose the question, what else are you spending honor on? Heliotropes are worthless this expansion, so you might as well just spend your honor on gliders and Electric shocks.
I don’t think anyone’s problem with electric shock is that they cost honor.
The problem is that fights just devolve into everyone getting shot to into space a half dozen times and most races / classes don’t have enough tools to counter maybe a couple consecutive shocks.
New pvp consumable idea:
Deployable Healing Dummy. Just stands there and heals you for 5min. Perfect for when your healers forget they have healing buttons.
That’s a joke. If people suck, they should suffer the consequences of sucking.
Can we remove the cooldown on glider then?
I think the consecutive Knockbacks issue could be solved by applying a debuff to the victim that makes them immune to electric shock specifically (not other class / race knockbacks though). Call it “Polarized” or something and make it match the cooldown of electric shock - 5 minutes. That way premade teams can’t abuse back to back shocks on the same people.

literally if they did this I would be 100% fine with the knockback.
Well maybe 75% fine. I would still like to see it nerfed a bit lol.

Blizz should either get rid of WM toys in unrated BGs or make the items available off a vendor in Silvermoon City. They likely just don’t care.
Great idea. It’s also not only premades that use them. lol
Yeah but premades are the ones usually doing the back to back coordinated. Random pugs might use it but they rarely, if ever, coordinate the usage.
