Eye of the Storm punting

I think almost every class can do some knock-back power or other to throw people down off the edge in the Eye of the Storm BG. What I have so far:


Hunter: yes, BM, rhino pet required (their horntoss thing that punts)

Priest: yes, Mindcontrol (jump them off the edge)

Shaman: yes, Elemental, Thunder...storm? (knocks everyone back)

Death Knight: yes, Deathgrip (suicidal though as they have to jump off and pull you down with them)

Druid: yes, Balance, whateveritscallediforget (knocks people back)

Rogue: ?

Warlock: ?

Paladin: ?

Mage: Maybe, they used to have one, not sure now

Warrior: ?


Do you know of any for the ones listed as "?"? Was doing some research on this xD

Pretty sure the mage one doesn't work. I think Blast wave used to have a knockback, but not anymore. Now it just slows. (source: I have a pyro mage)

Hm, oh well then :/
On another sidenote, today I saw a MM hunter disengage alllll the way across the rift using awesome skills at disengaging far and using the Readiness power (that resets all cooldowns) O.O

Man, but being punted off the Lumber Mill in Arathi was so much fun when you got hit by a mage!

Arcane mages now have the knockback, but it's not on demand--it triggers when Mana Shield breaks iirc.

Death Grip may not work, as it tends to show "IMMUNE" when there's no path available between you (sometimes you can pull people up but not down, or other stupidity).

Shaman's Thunderstorm is Elemental-only, but it's the strongest one by far.

A subtlety rogue can sometimes trick melee into chasing them off LM, then shadowstep back as the person jumps, effectively killing them. Hard to pull off, doesn't count as a knockback as such, but worth a mention!

Warlocks have a push back but its so tiny the person has to be literally 1 centimeter from falling, the succubus has the power and i forget what its called and its an aoe.

Succubus is Whiplash, and it is a very small push, but an AoE.

Destro locks also have one, I think...

Doesn't really count, but anything that causes fear has a chance to make you run off the edge.
Happened to me FIVE TIMES in one BG. All from the same warlock. :x
