This link to reddit discusses a possible warrior rune coming that is similar to Death Grip except it has a cast time.
Im sure many warriors would love to get this ability. Is this an April Fools day joke, an ability that a mob has, or a future Warrior rune?
Probably not you’re getting a stun spear like hoj. If you can’t catch them with charge intercept and spear and hamstring you need to reroll, not a meat hook.
Totally different purposes. Meat Hook is used in large group PVP where chasing someone down overexposes you.
Grip means warriors wouldnt always have to charge into a pack of enemies in order to contribute to the fight. Pull the healer in and destroy.
It’s a mean spirited April fools joke.
that sounds like a genuinely fun and innovative new warrior ability 
i simply do not believe it is true.
Looks like an NPC ability.
Bro it’s Deathgrip lmaooooo
You’re cool
If you think warriors are getting anything cool or fun, then you greatly overestimate the imagination of this dev team.
Hello there!
I was looking at an interview the other day with Aggrend and one of the other developers and the question was asked “where is the line between retail and SoD?” And one of their answers was “abilities that move other characters” so something like a Death Grip like pull was specifically mentioned as was like Typhoon for Druids as a “probably not gonna happen,” so, lacking a crystal ball, I don’t know for sure but my best guess is that isn’t gonna occur.
Which is a shame, because that would certainly be cool.
Be well,

But if you do, please enjoy the fact that you get not one but two weapon mastery +5’s at level 60 as any character you roll and a great big Tauren hug.

Aww. Thats very disappointing as I enjoy those types of abilities so much. Knock backs are fun to use and they look hilarious.
Really was hoping for one on my Holy Pally.
And they can be super clutch. It’s one of the reasons I love Warbringer into Fear Bomb so much. You can’t guarantee it, and there’s counterplay, but it’s nice when it works.
I think it was an interview with the Countdown to Classic guy, Corbett something, if you wanna look it up? My memory sucks. 
I’m hoping for paladins there’s in general something more than Pursuit of Justice mobility wise in the works, but that’s just something I think y’all would like. I’m only now getting my feet wet on the class in the Cata beta - dunno it real well yet.

Sadly if you want to pvp as a warrior you need an army to support you and even then you might just get randomly globaled by some wizard 40 yards away.
Honestly, a grip would be warriors saving grace for pvp in sod.
They really haven’t gotten many great runes for pvp at all.
I guess we will find out on Thursday.
It is datamined on wowhead so it will likely be in the game at some point, though we dont know if it is this phase or next, and if it will be a class book or rune, same thing with shama. Feral spirits.

It was posted on April 1st, you guys…
Don’t feel bad, they’ve never desired to move past era so WotLK spells are scary and new.
For the OP: Literally you won’t get an answer til Tomorrow at the earliest from anyone who actually knows. Blizz’s official stance is “don’t rely on datamining, we have stuff in there that might not appear” so they won’t confirm it and anyone who says they can confirm it without in game video proof is just talking out their back end.
