Best method i can see to fix the discombobulator would be to add a slow fall type effect to the lepper gnome. That way it doesn't ruin all of the fun in using it, while stopping it being 'overpowered'.

A rogue in my guild told me he tried to discombobulate various mounted people Saturday and it wasn't working. I'm not sure exactly how he was doing it, though. I can only assume he was doing something wrong because I am 100% certain I fell to my untimely demise as a leper gnome in Netherstorm just south of Eco Dome Midrealm above the chasm. I had no problem running back and finding my corpse on the side of the chasm, though.

There are a few trouble makers that like to attack people using the summing stones on Warsong. When they are trying to get away I have found the approximate hight I can survive a fall from and get underneath them, DoT them up while I am free falling. With the new heath pools, even with 1000+ damage, CoA and Corruption are generally not enough to kill someone full life. It does make them very hesitant to attack again with half life and usually forces them to fly a good distance away to med up.

I've been doing quite a bit of this on korgath.

When my parachute cloak isnt up I tend to not really try anything drastic unless they're already low. But usually 35 yards under them and arcane+sting, hit the ground, bandage it off and do it again is enough to scare off most people from being a vulture.

When my cloak is up the best thing I've found is to dismount just out of range above them and pop an ap trinket, arcane when in range, sting, scatter, silence -blow every instant I have- then parachute as soon as I reac them for raptor strike and an immo trap. Usually by the time the cloak wears off I can refresh the sting and get a second arcane off.

If it's really high up I can exit combat before I hit the ground and itemrack everything off.
