Warlord's Grasp Bug fix?

    Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

    The Warrior ability "Warlord's Grasp" frequently throws mobs on top of or behind the warrior. This is a major annoyance for warriors and people grouping with them.

    It has been noticed that when a mob is snared prior to being grasped, the ability appears to work properly. Do others notice this as well?

    How can we appropriately suggest that a very short duration snare be added to this ability so it functions properly?

    So, this isn't a bug so much as it is how the lurch and summon type spells are coded. Warriors have asked Elidroth about this before, because yanking a mob behind you is annoying, but he said that the code for it can't be changed. An added snare component might work, I haven't tested Grasping snared targets specifically, but lots of critters are snare immune now so it would still pull mobs behind you half the time anyway. Instead of backing up to put the mob in front of you (possibly flinging it behind again), try turning in place, wait for Grasp to end, and bully the mob into place with Press the Attack or Grappling Strike.

    The fact that we have to maneuver by backing up and using other discs and abilities in order to put the mob where it should have been with the initial Grasp shows why this ability should be amended. If there are multiple mobs that come with the initial Grasp (common in my experience), they will be positioned in front, so spinning around gives all of those the chance to get back stabs

    Although adding a short duration snare to the ability may not resolve all issues with Warlord's Grasp, it should mitigate a significant portion of the positioning issue, and imo would be worthwhile.
