Battlemaster ML 3 ability is "grapple".

What happens is, if you have grapple, you select an enemy, then hit grapple every 2 or 3 seconds. The enemy cannot do anything except cast spells. Can't move, can't purge, can't attack. If you're melee, you're screwed -- there is nothing you can do but wait. If you're a caster, you can still cast just fine (/boggle).

The grappler also cannot do anything except cast spells.

It's totally teh suq.

doesn't that one allow you to move the person as well?  i.e. drag them to PBAoE or something?

maybe that's later

Wow, that may actually make me useful in zerg: grapple a tank then switch to healing.

I think the original intent was for people to 'trade' their dps for an enemy's and thus break up the assist train on their casters. Friars and stealthers can abuse the crap out of it because you can grapple an enemy stealther and have your friend leisurely kill them at 0 risk to yourself.

Friars can wtfpwn stealthers with ease -- beat on them for a while, grapple and heal yourself to full, resume the beatdown.

Not sure if they intended for grapple to let the victim or aggressor cast spells freely while grappling -- that seems a bit bizarre to me.
