Some places it works great (WSG roof), others it is good but not great (EotS node defense, many graveyards).

Great post!

Hide on roof with flag and a priest.

When overwhelmed, jump down, persuers follow, priest lifegrips you back up for relaxing heals and prep for the next wave.

Alternatively, grab flag and get life gripped back to mid level for quick start to getaway.

Locks do a similar thing by setting teleport to mid level (or roof) for getaway/enemy avoidance.

I imagine a Priest waiting to grip an ally FC up to the upper level of a Warsong Gulch base would be a ridiculously powerful way of evading all the pursuers (which makes me think that it probably doesn’t work.)

In any case, Life/Death Grips – and any instant movement spells – are so, so powerful in Flag matches. Love them. :D
