Any use for mind control?

Besides drowning people in lava and throwing them off the boats?

I’m not very creative with “fun” abilities

You can make their own guards attack them in towns

Or you can be nice and mind control them buff them and chat them up

i prefer griefing within rules

walking people out of their faction portal in bgs which ejects them from said bg giving them a deserter buff

How is any of that against the rules?

Collusion? You are literally controlling their minds.

charge and stand in the portal, if anyone is stupid enough to run at you they exit the bg. guess if you are a healer you can stand in it, or are nelf and just mc people into it one at a time then meld, its not without risk but its a use for it!

Wait until Arathi Basin is released, have fun mind controlling people that are near the lumbermill flag and making them jump off the cliff.

PVP: making people jump off various places, usually cliffs, sometimes in Lava.

PVE: can be useful to get the fire resist buff from the mobs in UBRS. It’s also mandatory for one fight in Naxxramas (Instructor Razuvious).

Two fights, since you need to MC adds in Grand Widow Faerlina to silence her frenzy.

You can make them attack the guards in neutral cities.

You can make them try to solo a Devilsaur.

You can make them fly off a cliff.

It is an excellent way to get rid of a mob you don’t want to fight in a large pull. It’s a hard cc that actually gets the cc’d mob killed by his compatriots. Boom! That 5-mob pull is now a 4-mob pull.

We do this a lot if there is a nasty caster, a healer, or a mob that fears, etc. I MC it and whack on skull until my MC’d mob is dead. Warrior taunts the group off of me, skull is already at 75%. It’s fun.

it was useful at early 60 with green-geared people. But now it’s faster to just nuke mobs.

Yes, but MC is fun. Be quiet, JoJo! You’re going to ruin it.

Also, I mean, MC’ing people off boats…what more are you looking for? It’s bloody brilliant. The application for shenanigans is frankly endless.

i haven’t used boats for a few weeks already. No reason to. Have undercity-orgri zeppelin and gnome teleport trinket to tanaris :confused:

Okay, well if MC’ing people off of boats isn’t a good enough reason, I can’t help you. Sigh. You disappoint me, sir.

But since you mentioned the Undercity zeppelin…um. There’s another form of excellent shenaniganry you can get into there…you know. With your own people. If you’re irritated with your own faction, just sit up there at the top and fort people as they come off. Then watch. And smile.

Priests that attempted this were free kills. It really only works on newbies.

It’s actually really fun in dungeons if you’re dpsing. A lot of the time as shadow, if it’s a tough pull I’ll just SW:P everything and MC a caster/ melee dps mob and go ham with it. This way you’re not only doing good damage but you’re ccing a mob as well.
