Why are elevators in WoW so deadly? I just want to get to the next Raid Boss. I have elevators trying to kill me on Argus and now Ny’alotha is trying to take me down with their elevators.

This one is especially deadly with the way the edge can sometimes desync causing people standing there to suddenly drop through the floor once it reaches the top.

I feel your pain. I have died to various elevator bosses more than any other mob in the game.
While the main reason I play Alliance is Gnomes - there is a secondary reason as well. All the Horde cities have elevators… and they kill me.

That’s the real reason undercity had to go, horde couldn’t get past elevator boss.

Anyone remember SSC? That was a good one. Walk into the raid and also into immediate death.

The Elevator boss remains undefeated. More kills than even Chuck Norris.
It is the most basic of raid mechanics to master.
You shame your ancestors. casts slowfall and glides daintily away

We also had the stairmaster there. Exiting the sewer is more convenient on a flying mount

Heroic leap when you’re close enough to the ground. Saved me many times. As for other classes, what are you doing? Warrior is the best class!

I was about to mention SSC. Elevators have been death traps for years.

Careful. Levitate has killed me when trying to avoid elevators.
I really need to bind my gliders to a consistent key or put them a consistent spot on my toolbars. Nothing quite like the feeling of frantically scanning back and forth on an alt’s toolbars and finding the right icon a split-second too late.

In the TBC they had this solved. The elevators did a little shake to alert people and then eased into the decent.
How they unlearned this design is one of those head scratcher’s.

Theres more, but thats effort
Pandaren is Bouncy. We have reduced fall damage.
As a Hunter, we hit disengage before hitting the ground. We rarely die against Elevator Bosses. We are the ones who laugh so hard when we see Elevator deaths.
For some reason I thought you were talking about my favorite arcade game as a kid.
