Spellsteal and Mind Control Meta Thread

[hp94]

This is here to remove a ton of clutter from the forums. If you post something in here, please make sure to provide a WoWHead.com link, the spell or NPC name and effect and where to get it. If theres any extra information (Like how to push it to the extremes) also post that and it will be updated almost daily.

I'm going to be searching to add more to this list, which will also include a Cataclysm section and "Other" section, which would be from 1-80, and Cataclysm would be all the relevent buffs and mobs that we all want to know about. Please contribute to this thread, so that the end result is a well formed, organised thread that keeps clutter away.

**This was made because of the "Make a sticky MC and spellstealable thread" request in the Site Suggestions thread, that I was told would be great as long as it was constantly updated. I'm up to the challenge, so to speak.

Cool! Great thing you're doing here, man.

[tiptopz]

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but the Envoker cannot cast Envoker's shield. Also, the renegade strength is 200% physical dps, 90% damage reduction to AoE, and 500% hp. 7d duration but channeled.

[Darknz]

Yea you gotta find a way to be able to bring it out of the instance

It's a preliminary post, no where near the number of entries it will have when it gets into full swing. That being said, there are screenshots of them having the buff, so WoWHead must not have had the Data uploaded to them yet.

Yes I do... brb =D

Totally intended, and not really a exploit but its a fun gimmick anyway, could be cool with a mindcontrol / spellsteal list of cata mobs and such, that could be useful

Not all are totally intended such as awhile back you could spellsteal something from a creature in Utgarde Pinnacle which aloud you to do a insane amount of damage..enough to solo Raid adds

As SadPanda said, all of these are intended. Not exploits. Should post under guides.

"This is here to remove a ton of clutter from the forums."

This is mainly because every other day there is some sort of "Spellsteal this! Exploit!! Exploitttt!!!" variant that makes it into this forum. There are, as posted above, actual exploit worthy mind controls and spellsteals. This will usually be the "5/5" rated ones. Anything that gives any gregarious benefits would be an exploit when spellstolen or mind controlled. They don't usually warrant their own thread, and always get lost, and reposted several times. If you seach for "Spellsteal" you'll get 5 pages of posts in the exploits section of just spellstealable spells that give very good benefits.

This is close to being a guide, but because the exceptions to the rule will be included, this post will be best fit in the guides forum, and I understand your concern for proper organisation.

Most importantly, come cataclysm, there will be an emourmous influx of these types of posts that will most likely drown out other threads in their progress, increaseing the need for a meta thread such as this.

[Zoidberg]

I'm pretty sure it's all intended, unless its a boss etc.
Moved to guides. I would strongly encourage everyone to post their spellsteal/mind controlable mobs and tricks here.

[haggle]

You can get a spellsteal buff from Halls of Stone aswell. From the Dark Rune Elementalists. Think it's 100%, only lasts for 30 seconds or something like that tho.

[dazzidrood]

gj hp94, a guide like this will be a good overview

[dazzidrood]
