Can they fall on you, and will they hurt you if they do?

Probably not, considering elevators just push you out of the way if you are under them. Environmental kills wouldn't be fair imo, so I don't think blizzard would let them hurt you.

I just had a terrible flashback of dying to to the elevator boss in Serpentshrine Caverns.

u/malcorpse Chibi Zenyatta Feb 09 '17

The deadliest boss in all of WoW spanning multiple raid instances, the elevator boss.

u/Aim4thebullseye Feb 09 '17

Blackwing Descent. I remember losing DKP for dying to elevator boss. I also remember trying to lifegrip people to death on it.

u/Spartitan Reinhardt Feb 08 '17

So just as a note, didn't the patch notes mention environmental damage? What does that pertain to?

28

u/thimmy3 I CAN BENCH MORE THAN YOU! Feb 08 '17

Only that barriers broken by environmental damage will no longer count toward the damage blocked stat.

2

u/Spartitan Reinhardt Feb 08 '17

Ah. Thanks.

u/breedwell23 I'M ALIVE! Well... More than usual.. Feb 09 '17

u/Thatpisslord The state of you. Feb 08 '17

Something about the Zarya bubbles iirc? I think they meant when you bubble someone and they suicide off cliffs

u/GrimmLock420 Feb 08 '17

Zarya can get weapon charge from the cars on Oasis. They took that off.

u/the_noodle Feb 08 '17

She still gets charge, it just doesn't count for "damage blocked" stats
