Enchant Item: Invisibility Field (4187)

Very very interesting...

As a Rogue, I would LOVE to have even more vanishes!

EDIT: Changed back to Holo-Generator. /sadface

EDIT AGAIN: Now it's a Cardboard Assassin. Huh?

Commento di 669474

I hope it is like an substitute.

Mirror image + vanish!

Could we get a Cardboard Tube Samurai instead?

Commento di DeezeNuts

Apparently this thing summons Solid Snake

Hmmm? Just a Box!

This can be discovered randomly while crafting other engineering items. You can not learn this ability at a trainer.

Does anyone know if attaching this to your belt removes/prevents nitro boost?

Commento di Blagga

Here's what it looks like: https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=51229#modelviewer

I just might use this because of how hilarious it looks.

Commento di Yoda0017

Can anyone clarify how this works? Does it taunt nearby mobs? If so, this could make for a decent tinker addon for dungeon runners: pull gone wrong? Drop your Cardboard Assassin to buy the group a few seconds of breathing time!

The dummy had 77,490 HP when I tried it.

It also put my invisibility belt on a shared 5 minute cooldown.

Commento di wye43

Why would anyone use this instead of Nitro Boosts? If you need to escape, Nitro Boosts does the job much better.

Commento di Yoda0017

I've tested this out and this is what I've found so far:

The dummy has 77,490 HP like Soluu said, and appears to do an AOE taunt. I've seen it successfully taunt heroic bosses and regular mobs, although it seems to have a chance to miss as well, as there have been times I've dropped it and its not taunted the boss. Dropping it during the forgemaster boss in Grim Batol on heroic during his swords phase the dummy took three melee hits before dying.

While its no shield wall, this ability could be useful in providing a short breather for healers on tank-damage heavy fights, or ones with boatloads of adds. Against a standard heroic boss you get maybe 5 seconds of the boss hitting the assassin at best, but sometimes 5 seconds is all you need.

The cooldown is 5 minutes long, and I've not seen it backfire yet.

Edit: will update this once I've had a chance to test it on a raid boss.

2nd Edit: this does not taunt raid bosses, and as far as I can tell it does not taunt heroic bosses any longer. Still decent for helping a bit with adds.

Commento di Herukakaya

You can only have one "Guardian" out at a time. When I summon my Doomguard or Infernal, the cardboard dummy disappears. I guess it still beats a shield that can cripple you or nitros that send you to the moon.

Commento di 149750

This thing is great for random heroics that seem to have fail tanks or healers. "OMG tank died!" *use belt* /hack /slash win.

Commento di 230552

Strangely enough dispute being a tinker it has a number in the Engineering panel in-game (as if you get a stack of them)

Commento di dkfreak1

I cant believe no one mentioned this yet, but come on!
This might be a Ninja Puller best friend!
Rogue dps: Lol dudes, i tottaly stealth to boss and pickpocket ftw.
Boss: ROAR I SEE YOU PUNY ROGUE
Rogue: Feck! *Pops Assasin and vanish*

Commento di JoeR410

Relative to the other available options, this may perhaps be the only useful PVE tinker for raiding in any spec. Unless the plasma shield is changed to have a 0% chance to fail, I'd rather not have a backfire cause a raid wipe, even if it's only once in a blue moon.

Commento di 635695

It's nice PvP tinker vs. Hunters' and Warlocks' pets. Worked in normal BG and have no clue about rated ones and Arenas.

Commento di sollaires

Confirmed last night that not only is the Assassin a viable "cooldown" but it can actually parry.

I was using it while soaking melee hits during heroic Chimaeron feud phase and you can see the pet parry in my video:

Commento di Brightstar

What I would like to know about this is, would it be useful for a DPS to have during Raid, to help out the tank? I believe I read somewhere (in the personal shield tinker comments I think) that this item will taunt, but the tank will maintain aggro on the mob, aka the CA will take the hits but the tank won't have to worry about regaining aggro. Also I would assume that if this is the case, that we as DPS would want to pop in next to the tank to drop it then get back behind the boss so we don't have any "turning the boss toward the raid" issues.

Commento di 454013

This seems to have been hotfixed to no longer taunt raid bosses.

Commento di wuphonsreach

Just as with the cape (which is slot #15 or the hands which are slot #10), this can be combined with a "/use ##" macro. If you have multiple belts, with different effects it will activate whichever one you are wearing. Which is especially important for times when you have multiple cloaks and need to activate your parachute without swapping cloaks and waiting 30 seconds.

I have tested it on Maloriak 10man ads, it can taunt them. though i dont totaly understand blizzards decision to prevent the usage agains raidbosses.

Commento di 808080

Can catch you a quick breather which is mostly all that's needed to get heals in line and call for a dps to Heeelp!.

Commento di Dudash

So um.. why does it say in the tinker description "Lasts 15 sec. Can be used once every 1 min." but when its actually on your belt the cooldown changes to 5min? Pretty misleading on blizz's part.

EDIT:
I talked to a GM about this earlier and he said they know about it and the Dev's are currently talking about and debating whether they should change the current cooldown to reflect the description, or to change the description to match the current cooldown.

Commento di Horsekebab

As a tank, this thing lols at the puny plasma shield, except vs raid bosses, where you wouldn't use plasma shield anyways.

Commento di 403373

I was tanking in BH the other day, the pug was wiping.. a rogue dropped an assassin. It Taunted the boss, and held the boss for a good 5 seconds at least, enough to recover and loot!

Commento di WTBaggrodump

Just tested it on my DK. Assassin had 77,640 HP and seemed to have a taunt range of 10y. I'm going to test to see if it affects dungeon bosses and raid bosses when I can.

Commento di Kimiya

Remember the Cardboard Assassin's creed: "Nothing is glue; everything is perforated."

Commento di Lagun

Edgeworth: What the hell is that wriggling piece of plywood!

Meekins: Sir! That is the pride and joy of the entire Engineering Department, sir! It's the Cardboard Assassin, sir!

Commento di antherak

A great use i fonud on my warrior tough, is that you can intervene the dummy, so it can act as a cheap anchor. You drop it, charge something and for 15 secs you have a way back where you were.
