Two new "strategies" have arisen amongst the forces of lamers, both permitting you to kill your character, regardless of what area you are in, with no risk to the killer.
The first is a paladin launching blessed hammers, town portaling, and hostiling - the hammers stay in the air, and a hit from them could quite easily kill you.
The second is a sorceress launching fireballs, town portaling, and hostiling - I believe that fireballs stay in the air, and a sorceress with +20 fire skills (Not too difficult for griefers to aqquire) could launch extremely deadly fireballs. Due to the nature of this spell, you have very little warning.
Gee, Blizzard gets rid of some of these griefing tactics (hydra), and forgets about the others, instead of making a 10 second hostility timer that does not permit you to cause any PvP damage until it expires.
Another reason that we need 1.10b...
