The Case for Death Grip Off of the GCD

Death Grip off of the GCD has some very unique, game changing, and fun interactions.

I understand and respect the desire of the current mindset of needing to plan and prepare for things happening, being able to make reads on your opponent in PvP especially.

However, the quickdraw deathgrip is a legend amongst DK’s. A deathgrip off the gcd is able to remove demon hunters using Rain from Above and is an effective counter. There is no universe in which it would make sense for a dk to stop rotating to wait and deathgrip, it is simply too inefficient.

It feels very good to be able to ‘quickdraw’ a deathgrip for a useful grab if something is moved out of place all of a sudden.A class already designed to be slow and have things brought to them instead of moving to their target.

Please consider taking deathgrip off the GCD because it makes for some of the funnest moments playing death knight.
