awesome man gonna unfreeze the acc with my rogue with engineering for this

[Darkwitness]

can you bring them across zones or do they have to be in same continent?

[Derpdederp]

Amazing. I am going to WRECK my server's auction house. Can you buff your compatriots before you let them loose?

[Krisjlol]

Worked fine with the guard, but the battlemaster is different as non rogue. Smeld doesn't seem to work, and invis potion can't be used in combat it seems, so I can't seem to get them off.

Problem solved, in one of my failed attempts, she despawned, with a decently geared feral set I tanked and killed them. Proceeded to mc her when she spawned. Was funny.

I haven't tested this cross-continent yet, but based on what I've seen with other mobs in the past I'm guessing they're bound to the continent they originate on. I'll try to test it out later this evening.

Guards around the battlemasters can be a pain. The Arathi Basin battlemasters make a good alternative if you don't have a means of dropping combat, the guards around them can be killed easily and the battlemasters can be pulled on their own. Alternately, you can have a friend tank the guards in Alterac Mountain while you mind control the battlemaster and hearth out.

The battlemasters are especially fun if you kite them into the auction house, as they have an AoE fear and a whirlwind attack that they do every once in a while. The whirlwind was hitting me for around 20K non crit.

[CONFIRMED]
Cross continent does not work.
For horde you should try Rissa Shadeleaf in darnassus and the battle masters around her. you will need someone to tank mobs from you.

Does this require engineering or would a priest work just as well to mind control?

[Loki Cola]

I don't have a priest to try it personally but I doubt that priest MC works for a few reasons. You can't hearth while priest mind controlling as it's a channeled ability, and you can't take a summon because you're in combat with the NPC you're mind controlling. A mage portal is the only way I could see a priest MC working, but that also seems unlikely as taking the portal would presumably break the channel.

I wouldn't rule it out entirely though, you might find a way to get it to work with some ingenuity.

oh my god im doing this now

[jereminion]

is it still working or am i just having bad luck? It either stuns the guy or i get a weird debuff where nothing happens

That's just bad luck with the Mind Amplification Dish unfortunately. Quoted from wowhead:

When you use this item, one of 4 things can happen...

It succeeds almost instantly.
It fails almost instantly.
It backfires and your character becomes mind controlled
A purple beam links you to your target, engaging in a "mental battle". This always seems to end in a draw, with neither you or the target gaining control.

When it fails instantly you get that weird debuff you're referring to called "Dullard". Just keep trying.

"Target's level is too high"

[kaustos]

[Auroralol]
